Winner + Etsy Giveaway

Thank you to all my supporters, I have received many emails and calls with kind wishes, plus an awesome post dedicated to me by my sweet friend Trude. I am so blessed!

I love October, I’ve been cooking away soups and fall salads and enjoying the hot, then cold, then hot fall, only in California. Lately I’ve been visiting Cal Poly Pomona’s Farm Store for their great produce and fresh squeezed orange juice and at my last visit I ventured off and walk around the farm to get some yummy photos. Doesn’t this photo make you want to run through the pumpkin patch? I did and it was great, more photos on that soon.

Pumpkin-Patch---WebOkay, so now for the fun stuff… the winner of the photo session is Trude! Congratulations, I will email you all the details to get your photo session by yours truly.

Andrea Suarez from Stones and Starling is giving away this precious ring, you can get more detailed photos and info on the direct link here and make sure to visit her Etsy shop for other great stuff. She is one fabulous lawyer by day, but loves creating jewelry by night as her creative outlet. I met Andrea at a photographer’s meet up a few months ago, she asked me to do mamalita sessions at her bridal shower and was delightful to work with. She also just recently got married and aspires to learn the art of photography, I wish her nothing but the best! Thank you Andrea for participating in my official launch and the giveaway.

To enter the giveaway just leave a comment and tell me what your favorite jewelry piece is for any occasion. The winner will be announced next Tuesday, have a lovely weekend!
