Mary Van Notes

It’s been a year today since I did my first Mary Van DAAAMN! post.  To celebrate I want to say thanks to my readers with a special giveaway courtesy of Laurel’s Bench.  I remember the first night I looked through Laurel’s Bench on etsy.  I was with my friend Laura and we were oohing and aahing over the natural beauty of Laurel’s classic and yet utterly unique designs.  Her individually hand-crafted pieces are made in her home studio and she even boasts a green and eco-friendly business which is no surprise when you see the way nature inspires her pieces.  One of the pieces Laura and I loved so much was this pearl ring.  We both said it would make the most romantic wedding ring.  Please take a look at her shop and let me know what made you ooh and aah.

This giveaway is for a gorgeous mother of pearl necklace called “The Silence Between.”

Thank you all for a fun year.
