It's almost December??

Unbelievably, it's already the very end of November, and thus my November contest has ended. Congratulations Rebecca, on winning your own customized Anne Boleyn style "W" necklace. Thank you very much to all the other participants, you should have all received an e-mail regarding the contest.


This is the last weekend at my family's summer home until the spring. It's been a chilly, but lovely weekend. I observed an adorable squirrel napping on the deck this morning and saw a beautiful full rainbow this afternoon. I've had plenty of time for pearl knotting, inkle weaving, and even a little baking. Speaking of, I think I hear some lovely green pearls calling my name...

★November Contest- Win a customized Anne Boleyn letter necklace!

Once Halloween passes, what comes next? There's Thanksgiving, and OH YEAH- holiday shopping. I actually enjoy holiday shopping (though not so much the wracking my brain over what to buy people, or the crowded stores.) Take a break during this busy pre-holiday season to get something for you.

Beginning today, contact me with your name, best mode of contact (e-mail address/etsy ID) and the letter you would wish for, and you will be entered to win a customized Anne Boleyn letter necklace of your very own! E-mail me at duchessashop@yahoo.com, or send an Etsy conversation at duchessa.etsy.com, subject "November Contest", please.

Names will be put into a hat, and the winning name will be pulled on Saturday, November 28th.


At the conclusion of the contest, the weekend of November 28th, the winner will be notified and asked for the remainder of the customization information (allow production time after end of contest.) All other participants will be contacted as well- there's something for you as well! Non-winning participants who place an order before the final day of 2009 will receive free shipping and complimentary matching earrings (or other items, if ears are not pierced- let me know.)

Feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from everyone!



Don't forget customized jewelry and knotted pearl necklaces at reasonable prices when doing your shopping!
