Lea, who was once a teacher, is a skilled jewelery artist who lives in Arizona and makes lovely jewelry. She also makes these amazing ornaments.
Each silhouette ornament is made one at a time and hand cut with her jeweler's saw from a strong piece of brass sheet. The ornament is then be engraved with a name and/or date.
She is making the ones I ordered for Michal and Kenna right now. I can't wait to hang them on our tree. In fact, I think I just might keep them out all year long.
And the best part? Lea is going to give one of these beautiful ornaments to one of you! Go ahead, swoon.
All you need to do to enter is visit her store and then come back and tell me something that caught your eye.
Please note that Lea is already busy working on her holiday orders so the winner will not receive their ornament until after the New Year.
This giveaway will remain open until 12:00 midnight on December 11.
What an amazing ornament. So beautiful and timeless a perfect addition to any tree
ReplyDeleteI love the beach treasure locket. I have a small shell from my daughters hometown beach in China. im going to ask if she can make something up.
Thanks again for all the wonderful gift ideas
Well yet again another beautiful site. I really like the sand dollar necklace and the cut out starfish. Thanks again for sharing these sites with us.
ReplyDeleteThe custom family collage is beautiful. This 12 days of Christmas is soooo fun!!!http://www.annikagrace.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful ornament. I also loved the cut out starfish. She is really talented.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the paper cutouts we received in China in one of the parks in Guilin!
ReplyDeleteI loved this site, and my fave would have ot be the Chinese Zodiac Mother's Necklace.
Can't wait to see your new ornaments!
I love the "Hibiscus Bracelate". One of my late father's and my favorite flower. Aria
ReplyDeleteThe silhouette ornament is beautiful. Many pretty things on the site but none of more uniqueness than this for me.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI will be ordering the Stamped Grandmother's necklaces later today. LOVE IT!

ReplyDeleteclothedmuch.blogspot.com
Oh goodness! She is talented. I must say, the ornament is my favorite though.
ReplyDeleteKristi,
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with this 12 days of Christmas stuff. I am trying so hard not to spend, spend, spend like I usually so but I truly LOVE everything you have posted about. My hubby is never going to let our friendship continue if he finds out how exquisite your taste is....
I LOVE these silhouettes! They are a must have. I also think her open circle necklace and the beach locket are cute and fun. There are so many talented women on Etsy.
I do love the ornament, but I also love the family tree pendant with the names engraved on the outside!
ReplyDeleteWow is this one hard to answer. There are so many beautiful items to choose from. I think my favorite might be the You are the Moon and Stars Stamped Necklace.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the sweethearts necklace. I may just have to place an order now though!!!! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThought this one was neat-
ReplyDeleteFamily Necklace with Double Sided Rectangular Tags
I may have to get these for my children. I love ornaments in general, but these are awesome. A very creative way to capture a time in their life. I loved the saw pierced etched sand dollar necklace. Sand dollars hold a special meaning for me and my man. Thank you for introducing us to all these great Etsy shops!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty traditional and love the silhouette ornament. It would be a wonderful keepsake.
ReplyDeleteThe Child's Silhouette Pendant Necklace-- this mommy loves how classic it looks! Not to mention having my sweetie always close by!
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING there is amazing, but the custom ornament has to be the most swoon-worthy!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Kim, you're killing me! Suddenly my Christmas list is GROWING by leaps and bounds!
ReplyDeleteI just ADORE the Customized Etched Sterling Bracelet with your kiddos artwork, how incredibly special!!
But really, all of her things were lovely :)
Great etsy shop....thanks for sharing. It so hard to choose a favorite but I think I would have to say the silhouette ornaments are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteKim
Monogram Style Framed Pendant Necklace
ReplyDeleteThis necklace would be an heirloom!
Thank you!
I'm with Kim and Stefanie too. This is killing me...all this wonderful shopping and all ;) I really LOVE the "have faith" necklace. Just beautiful! But, actually, I LOVE them all.
ReplyDeleteI liked the You are the Moon and Stars necklace, but again, anything from her shop would be a treasure, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful ornaments! I am going to have one made of my daughter. The child's artwork and bracelet caught my eye and I'm going to keep that in mind as well.
ReplyDeleteThe mother's necklace with the birthstones is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove all these Etsy finds... I've bookmarked each of them for future reference!!!!
She makes silouette charms for necklaces, too! That caught my eye! Very creative! I have silouettes of the kids that were cut by an artist out of black paper from Disneyland...I treasure those. It would be great to have them in brass!
ReplyDeleteCara
Those are amazing. I am in love!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Miracle charm. Perfect.
What great gift ideas. I love the multi-strand sea glass.
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning over the angel wings pendant necklace. SO lovely!

What a great idea for ornaments for a tree. This is Tate's first year celebrating Christmas (last year she was in China) and this would be an amazing keepsake to commemorate this.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that caught my eye... Custom Initial Charm Ring Necklace
Lisa

ReplyDeleteSuch talent. Well let's see I loved the Your Child Silhouette necklace, it reminded me of a bracelet my Grandmother used to have, the Whale of a necklace, the Mother and Child Quote necklace and the Hand stamped Mothers necklace. Oh and yes, the ornaments are beautiful. Thank you for a link to another talented Mom! Thanks for entering my name!

ReplyDeleteYou have picked the best. I can't believe how much the price goes down when you order a bunch! Even if I win I will have to buy at least one more this year!

Love the cut out starfish! So unique! The ornaments are adorable - what a special piece to hang on your tree!
ReplyDeleteWhat great ornaments! I like the have faith necklace, too.
ReplyDeleteAgain...too many choices to settle on one! I suppose my pick would be a sterling spaced stamped necklace with birthstones. A difficult decision.
ReplyDeleteI love the sillhouettes - ornament or necklace charms!
ReplyDeleteI have a terrible feeling I am about to drop some cash!
I love the artwork and silhouette bracelet!
ReplyDeleteKristi-
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and all the fun stuff you find. Keep them coming please Beth
Those ornaments are so beautiful. I also love the "have faith" necklace.

ReplyDeleteI love the word "ohana". :) Lea is very talented! I grew up going to Seaside, Oregon every summer for day trips. I love the beach treasures locket, because it reminds me of the beach! (which we are sadly lacking in Chicago...)
ReplyDeleteLove the artwork etched on the bracelet charms.... any and all the silhouette pieces. I refuse to choose one from this site.
ReplyDeleteOne word- AMAZING!
