I'm excited to announce that for the August Tangleweeds giveaway I've selected one of the pieces from the new collection. . . The Pink Desert Sands Necklace featuring a flower jasper stone and hand forged metal work finished off with my signature rustic texturing.

I'm currently in crunch mode getting ready for the Gravenstein Apple Fair, so I thought I'd roll out this giveaway on a shorter time frame than usual. Simply leave a comment here on the blog about one of your favorite places to go when things get stressful or just overwhelming. It can be anywhere, from a bookstore to a hiking trail to the movie theatre, or anywhere else!

I love to go to bookstores to escape for a bit, when things get really stressful. I walk up and down the aisles and pull books off of shelves, flipping open to random pages and reading short excerpts. Sometimes I buy a book, sometimes I don't. But I always leave feeling a bit refreshed and inspired for what lies ahead in my day/week/month.
