1-I love that four bracelet (205) set, particularly as I'm imagining it interspersed with a stack of gold and silver bracelets I already own!
ReplyDelete2-I don't have much in the way of summer reads of late since I've been doing a last hurrah of childbirth-related books, but I love and highly recommend the Tess Monaghan series by Laura Lippman. They are smart and funny mysteries that you cannot put down!
(PS: Happy Turning Two! I think I may have forgotten to mention that in another comment!)
Oh my. I love necklace number 199. So pretty. Hmmm, summer reading...I'm reading Ann Patchett's Truth & Beauty at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAnother great giveaway - we are getting spoiled here.
Hi! Great post. I love number 221 and am laughing with Tina fey's bossy pants. I can't believe she totally snaked that office job from loyal. Stop. Donna!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I really like bracelet #226 with the braided leather. It reminds me of a leather bracelet made in my teenage years at summer camp. As far as summer reading goes, I read a little book called Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. The book was a gift from a family who had lost their son suddenly, and the book was encouraging in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteAHHHH LOVE dull diamond! I'm digging bracelet 234- leather goodness. I just finished The Help in like 4 days- so good! Thanks for this lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the leather double wrap bracelet (#226). I'm really into leather bracelets these days and this one is a nice twist. As for favorite summer read, I'm really enjoying Run Like a Mother.
ReplyDeleteHi! Great giveaway! I am loving bracelet #226.
ReplyDeleteBooks: I've just gotten around to reading The Hunger Games trilogy, and I love it! Total page-turning, can't-put-it down, perfect summer reads!
BRACELET (#234) - have already started wearing it in my mind. It's been a magazine summer for me, that's what happens when it's so hot I drip sweat while sitting still. The Gentlewoman issue 3, Spring/Summer 2011.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty smitten with bracelet #236! Just enough neutral, just enough pop!
ReplyDeleteAlas, it's been a busy summer for me! I haven't been able to dig into any big reads, but I am enjoying the latest copy of Dwell quite a bit!
love necklace #206 and my fave summer read is I was told there'd be cake. it's pretty funny so far. And short stories are easier than trying to chug through a full novel.
ReplyDeleteLove bracelet #234 and just starting to read Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan, which I've been saving for my summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteI just love bracelet #234 or maybe #209--it's just so hard to choose. Earlier this summer Bossypants was my read. When we were in Florida, my sister would read chapters aloud while we lounged on the beach. We're on the lookout for another group read since not all books benefit from the read aloud treatment.
ReplyDeleteWhat whimsical designs! I especially like #234. I love using the summer to indulge in plenty of Scandinavian mystery series (I highly recommend the 'Wallander' series by Henning Mankell) as well as the 'Adam Dagliesh' books by P.D. James. Thank you for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with #234, the natural leather with red is perfection! Just what I need to go with my summer skin! I have been a major bookworm this summer! My hands down favorite was Patti Smith's Just Kids. I know everyone is reading it, but it really touched me. It is an epic story about unconventional love, true commitment, soul mates, creativity, and being true to your authentic self. I borrowed this book from the library, but I will certainly purchase my own copy.
ReplyDeleteThis is tough...but #234 stands out.
ReplyDeleteJust Kids all the way!!
Great pieces--I love bracelet 234! I just finished The Year We Left Home by Jean Thompson--excellent.....!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose! 228? 229? 236? All of them worn together?
ReplyDeleteI've just finished and loved Tina Fey's Bossy Pants and am about to start Dimanche and Other Stories by Irene Nemirovsky.
Happy summer!

Tough call but I like the two bracelets, number 238. My favorite read this summer totally puts me in geek land, but I re-read that last Harry Potter book before watching the movie and unabashedly loved it again.
ReplyDeleteI love #229. It totally fits my nautical craze at the moment!! As far as reading goes I have a 10 week old, so I am calling "skimming blogs" my current read
ReplyDeleteAm I too late to enter? Hope not! I love Emily & Jen's work. I have one of their bracelets and wear it all the time. My current favorites are necklace #214 and bracelet #213. Too hard to decide between them! As for my current read, I just started A Visit From the Goon Squad and I'm really enjoying it...
ReplyDeleteI love bracelet 226...and this summer I am reading the battle hymn of the tiger mom...so interesting.

Bracelet #226 is my pick - and my fav summer book so far is Midnight Riot - super spooky!
ReplyDeleteQuite fond of #221! but if we get to choose between the bracelets in this blog post, I think the beady one is lovely. summer read, I'm finally reading Kundera's Book of Laughter and Forgetting.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking #234. Am trying to finish "The Help", but projects are keeping me from it.
ReplyDeleteI too am a fan of bracelet 234! I'm about to have baby 2 so this summer has been me and Ina May Gaskin. Her new book, A Midwife's Manifesta, is great history for birth junkies like me.
ReplyDeleteXO
My favorite is Necklace #206 ! so colorful and pretty and can also double up as a bracelet :)
ReplyDeleteMy summer read or I should say the book I'm currently reading is "the book theif" by Markus Zusak.
