My Beautiful New Watch Plus A Giveaway!


My dear readers, I have a fabulous surprise for you today! A giveaway, just in time for Christmas!

As everyone who knows me is well aware, I love anything hand-crafted. There's such beauty in things that are made carefully and lovingly, one at a time or in small batches. I also love natural materials, both when it comes to what I wear and what I like to fill my home with. I gravitate toward things that are earthy, perhaps a bit rustic, metals and woods and cork and cotton.

So, needless to say, I absolutely love my new Jord Wood Watch. Jord is a brand new company based in the Midwest and each of their watches are made of 100% natural wood. The woods they choose are incredibly silky and smooth, with the most beautiful grain patterns. My watch actually glimmers in the sun! It's gorgeous, unusual, and well-designed (my jeweler commented on how well it was constructed when I brought it in to get it sized to my wrist). It's my new favorite accessory.


Jord Watch generously offered to work with me and sent me the Fieldcrest Black Watch to try out for myself. All of their styles are lovely (look at this delicate maple one!) but I was really attracted to this one in particular. I'm a big fan of the oversized watch look on women. It's such a contrast to a feminine outfit, like this lace shirt--I think the watch adds just the perfect amount of edge. I also liked it because it's essentially a unisex watch. Look at how great it looks on my husband! 


I'm so thrilled and excited to be able to offer one of these beautiful watches to a lucky reader. The timing couldn't be more perfect--a gift for your husband, a friend, or yourself!--and it feels great to be helping to support a small, new, business that is based here in the USA. 

You can enter the giveaway by using the Rafflecopter widget below. (If anyone is confused by the Rafflecopter, please email me--it's new for me too!) The giveaway will end this Sunday at midnight, and I'll announce the lucky winner on Monday. Good luck to everyone!
