Jewellery Giveaway!!! From the lovely Angelene

Charm Bracelet with Pearls and Swarovski Crystal on Sterling Silver- The Love Story

I'm excited to be featuring a giveaway from one of my favourite etsy sellers Angelene. I think I'm too embarrassed to admit how many pieces I have from her!

I've got very particular tastes (you could say I'm difficult, but I prefer to think of it as having a defined style), and I just love Ange's jewellery- particularly the elegant simple silver pieces. I don't know how I managed without the silver bow necklace she made for me, as well as this new favourite- I love it (and I'm not usually prone to enthusiasm):

5-Question Mini Interview with Angelene:

How and why did you start selling on etsy?
I started selling on etsy after a few years running jewellery parties as the main way of selling my work. The community feel of etsy, particularly the teams, make it more than just a selling experience.

How would describe the concept behind your store?
My store is a bit eclectic and doesn't really have a 'concept' as such - I make a range of things, depending on my mood, style influences of the moment, and aim to make something for everyone. I suppose the common theme of my store is elegance - I love organic shapes and sweeping lines.

Do you have a favourite item that you almost hope someone won't buy?
Nope... because I know I can recreate it for myself! At the moment my favourite things are Merry's Choice because I'm obsessed with Laurell K Hamilton's work and these Gaia 2 earrings.

What do you do when you're not etsying?
Lots! Working fulltime as a policy advisor to government, running a home spray tanning business, making jewellery, organising my engagement party, thinking about a wedding (I'm shopping for dresses this weekend! and trying to catch up with friends.

Tell us something surprising that we don't know about you...
I'm pretty much an open book... but you probably don't know that i've been on a magazine cover! Funny story really! Details are on my blog...
