Whoorl Header #3

Oooh, Oooh! A CONTEST.

I am completely obsessed with Etsy. I admit it.

A couple of weeks ago, I came to the conclusion that I need more earrings in my life. What’s the point of having your ears pierced if you aren’t going to adorn the holes? C’MON, PEOPLE.

So, Etsy and I did our little mating ritual, which resulted in the purchase of several pairs of simple, beautiful earrings. (Simple jewelry lovers UNITE!)

My very favorite pair were handmade by Kate Szabone, and they have become permanent fixtures in my earlobes.

Well, the lovely Kate accidentally printed out duplicate orders and sent me two pairs of these beautiful earrings, and when I emailed about the duplication, she kindly told me to keep them. (SCORE.) And as much as I would like to KEEP THE EARRINGS as backups, I thought it might be nice to share the love with y’all.

Aren’t they perfectly simple? And pretty? Can you not tell because my ears are devouring the entire photo?

These beauties need a loving home. (The new ones, of course. Not the ones in my ears- Whoorl is a proper hygiene advocate.)

So! Leave a comment starting now through midnight EST tonight, and I will randomly choose a winner to be announced tomorrow. Cool? Cool.

And for those people (like me) who need some sort of comment direction, tell me, do you have a free or attached earlobe?

    I’ve heard of people who do attachment lobing; you know, co-sleeping with their earlobes at night, carrying them in a sling during the day, but my ears are more a fan of the Free Lobe Movement, which I’m pretty sure dates back to the sixties. Flower lobes, VW jewlry boxes and all that. Make Lobe, Not War is what I say.

    uh oh . . .

    i have always felt inadequate because I can’t roll my tongue . . .

    now I find that earlobes can be free or attached?? HUH???? Now that I know - I’m gonna want whichever I don’t have!! I have no idea which mine are . . . I mean . . . they are attached to my ear . . .

  22. CassandraNo Gravatar

    March 25th, 2008 9:34 am

    Would you believe I have one of each?
    Sigh. I remember vividly, in 4th grade, learning about genetics, filling out a questionnaire. Do you have a widow’s peak, can you roll your tongue, etc. Everyone was asking about free or attached ear lobes, I asked. Each person on either side of me gave a different answer.
    Then EVERYONE in the class had to see.

    I’m still scarred by the whole experience, so clearly I deserve the oh-so-lovely earrings… *fingers crossed*

    I had refused to wear earrings for the last 15 years, except maybe once every two years, because my ear-holes are extra sensitive and often get infected, UNTIL I figured out the magic of dipping the posts in Benadryl Gel or Neosporin before putting them in my ears. No more pain!

    I feel like a whole world of cranial decorations has been opened up to me! And at this pivotal accessory time in my life, you should me this website which will allow me to spend hours of my day searching for the right pair.

    Or, I could just win the ones you have. :)

    Man, I always thought free earlobes were kinda rare. Not based on these comments. Mine however are attached. And I’m loving those earrings! It’s so rare that I see non-stud earrings I like! (I’m not a big fan of regular hoops and dangly ones can feel so formal…)

    Delurking to say I have no idea what a free lobe looks like as opposed to an attached lobe. Is that sad?

    Ooh, pretty! Here’s my raffle ticket! (But if they’re yellow gold, feel free to take me out of the mix. No can do the yellow gold.) Also, I have attached earlobes.

    On another note, Etsy is kind of overwhelming for me. I have no idea where to start, and then I find myself at Ann Taylor or Anthropologie. Some suggestions for people to check out would definitely help take the edge off.

    Free lobes. Also of note–I have had the same earrings in my ears every day for the past nine years. Every holiday my mother pleads with me to switch them out and wear one of the many pairs she continues to gift me. I have to admit, these are totally cute enough to make me *finally* remove the current pair, which of course pales in comparison to the joy of the potential true winner, my mother.

    I actually have a free AND an attached earlobe. One of each!

    I found this out when I was in high school and the honors biology class did their annual questionnaire about heredity, and the “free or attached” question was one they always asked. The second year we were surveyed, the person covering our classroom looked at me and said, “yours are free,” and wrote it down. I said, “wait a minute, last year they were attached!” Sure enough, they were different.

    My earlobes are attached. And small. I have ridiculously small ears. One year for my birthday my husband got me a pair of diamond studs and he apologized profusely about how small they were until I put them on … they didn’t look so small anymore!!

    Hee! Young love!

    Holy Mother of Sweet Simplicity! I need those earrings!

    I believe my lobes are attached. But not weirdly so. And just enough.

    I’m a free-lober. And I’m a little worried about winning this contest because “The Muse” already commented and while we share the same (fabulous) name, we are different people. I’m sure “The Muse” is a wonderful person, but you should probably pick me.

    In closing, please pick me because I love those earrings and you.

    You. (and those earrings). Complete. me.

    I have free earlobes (and hopefully free earings to go with them)

    I’m with you on the simple jewelry - LOVE IT. I prefer to wear the same earings all the time, in fact when I find a pair I love I never take them out - much like my wedding ring, they become a permanet part of me. That is until they start to twist or, um rust. Yes that has happened to me. :(

    I have attached lobes. I need these earrings because two weeks ago I cut my hair off. I wanted to have natural hair instead of chemically relaxed hair. I have not been able to find any cute earrings, although now I will check etsy. Please help me so that my four year old daughter can stop telling me I look like a boy!

    Funny you should ask about my earlobes. They are an ongoing source of conversation around our house as they are free as can be. Jon on the other hand has attached and although his genetic make-up took over when it came to almost all of Charlie’s lovely features the kid was lucky enough to end up with my earlobes. I take great pride in that.

    I have semi-attached earlobes. They are quite detached but they have some definition.

    I love those earrings! And what a good idea to go to Etsy for earrings! It is so simple yet, I haven’t ever thought of it!
