i'm very excited to bring you this lovely giveaway from the romantic garden - the most lovely necklaces made by rachelle. this is a very special chance to win a $40 gift certificate to anything you choose from her store! the minute i came across this shop, i fell in love with all her pieces. the use of mixed beads and flowers, and her colors are all so fabulous. i'd like to own one of each piece ;) be sure to stop by rachelle's blog as well!

win: $40 gift certificate to
the romantic garden!

Hello, please tell us a little about yourself! I don't think of myself as an artist rather I see myself as a lover of nature and color and try to mix the two by enhancing natural beauty we girly girls already possess.

How did you get started making your lovely jewelry? I started making Jewelry 2 yrs ago cause frankly I wanted something unique that no store has and just got carried away:)

What inspires you day to day? My freedom of mind and creativity inspires me everyday, the ability to make someone else happy with a creation I made truly makes my day.

Any advice for aspiring small business owners? Love what you do!! Take great pictures and have wonderful service along with this, unique and quality products.
