TGIF, friends! I’m so excited to bring you YET ANOTHER giveaway this month! You may remember last year I reviewed products from NOVICA, an online international artist marketplace that is part of the National Geographic family. What an amazing experience that was from start to finish… and my eyes were opened to the incredible talent that exists in so many nations around the world.
I was thrilled when NOVICA contacted me to review another product AND host a giveaway for YOU this fall! What better time to get your holiday shopping started or to treat yourself… like I did. 🙂
Last year, I selected some home decor beauties…
This year I opted for jewelry… because I’m a sucker for a fabulous pair of earrings. 🙂
I chose these gold and pearl beauties from Thailand… and I loved the care taken with packaging, the artist’s story, and the handwritten thank you note.
Are these gorgeous, or what?
And when I wear them? The compliments come flooding in…
Please disregard my crows feet… yikes!
The craftsmanship is stunning and they are lightweight and gorgeous. I’ll be wearing these often! And the best part? They’re unique!
The NOVICA website is loaded with thousands of unique hand-crafted products — jewelry, apparel, home decor, paintings, unique gifts… literally something for everyone. Here are some of my favorite picks for fall …click on the photos to see more information.
Are you feeling fall yet??
Well, you’re in luck! NOVICA has given me a $50 gift certificate to award to one of YOU!
Just imagine… you can treat yourself, do some holiday shopping, and help a talented artisan along the way. An amazing way to support creative entrepreneurship in a global marketplace.
Here’s all it takes to enter:
- Leave me a comment about how you’d spend your $50 to NOVICA.
- Pin, tweet, or share on Facebook, leaving me a separate comment for each that you do.
That’s it! The giveaway is open through Wednesday, September 25th at midnight Eastern time. Winner will be chosen via random.org. Please make sure your email address is included when you submit your comment(s). Good luck!

Hi Heidi, thanks for sharing this! I hadn’t heard of Novica – I love the concept of the artisan loans to help artisans in developing countries – very cool. I would use the $50 for some of their beautiful earrings. I love these! http://jewelry.novica.com/earrings/floral/emerald-earrings-mays-lily-of-the-valley/193315/
