GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Welcome to my first giveaway! I love giveaways and have probably entered a gazillion, so now it's my turn to offer up some goodies! My name is Mary Lee and I have a shop on Etsy called Mary Lee By The Sea, same as my blog name, Twitter account and Facebook page....I'm nothing if not consistent! Anyway, I create original home decor sculptures in my shop (which I call "Floating Art")  as well as paintings, jewelry and cards. 

Here are some examples.

Now, on to the fun stuff !  I will be giving away the necklace and earring set shown below: 

This set sells for $20 and is bright and cheerful, just ready to wear with spring and summer fashions! The flowers are made from polymer clay and the chain is silver plated (8 inches on each side of the flowers), the earrings are the wire type. Although not super delicate, they will break if bent, so this jewelry is not recommended for small children.
