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?

is there such a thing as a mixed earlobe? i guess i would have to say mine is more attached than free… but it’s sorta iffy!

March 25, 2008 at 10:01 amwhat size are the earrings you purchased? i see she has several sizes for sale.
Those are the extra-small (3/4-inch).

March 25, 2008 at 10:03 amDelurking to say I have no idea what a free lobe looks like as opposed to an attached lobe. Is that sad?
Also I love, love, love those earrings and simple jewelry is always the best. I think I am the only woman in the world who argued with her fiancé that she wanted a smaller wedding ring.

March 25, 2008 at 11:04 amI’m a recent Etsy addict and I’m looking for a new pair of gold hoops as one of mine fell out of my earlobe while I was washing my face yesterday (sob!)
Oh, and I am free. Well, at least reasonably priced.

March 25, 2008 at 10:06 amOoh, 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.
