Cleveland Handmade is hosting a giveaway to thank all our wonderful supporters and customers, as well as give you the opportunity to check out the high-quality handmade art in member shops.
This up-cycled necklace from the Vintage Brooch Company is made from several bits and pieces of vintage flower jewelry. It’s youthful and modern, but with vintage soul. The collage pendant hangs from a 16.5-inch brass chain. Vintage beads and a rhinestone rondelle are inserted asymmetrically on one side of the chain. It makes a sexy touch on the side of your neck. A great way to keep flowers with you all winter long.
There are just three simple things you need to do to enter:
1. Visit the Vintage Brooch Co. and take a look around. Make a note of your favorite item in her shop.
2. Then either visit our artists page or search Etsy for the “clevelandteam” tag and check out some items from other Cleveland Handmade member artists. Make a note of your favorite.
3. Come back and leave a comment on this post (look for the comment box or link at the end of this post) telling us your favorite item from the Vintage Brooch Co. AND your favorite item from another Cleveland Handmade shop, and you’ll be entered to win. It’s that simple!
You have until Wednesday, December 9 at noon EST to get your entry in, so commence browsing. There’s lots to discover!
We’ll randomly draw one winner from the comments posted.
You can read the giveaway rules here.

One of my favs is the Clackamass COunty vintage dog tag necklace
I also checked out Whimsyfolk for the first time and love Zelda the Pointy Nose Witch. I don’t have any children but am tempted to buy it and save for “one day”.

OMGoodness—I LOVE this shop!! Gorgeous! I love every single piece in there. If I had to pick a fav, I’d go with the pink and sage bouquet brooch, just cuz those are some of my current fav colors http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21246762
but they are all just so pretty! Love the necklace for this giveaway too! (fingers crossed!)
I am amazed with how many wonderful artists there are in the Cleveland group–wow! I’m going to pick Lazy T crochet as one of my fav artists from your group–though there are a lot of them! So glad I found this contest!
Smiles, Karen
