sponsor & giveaway with my little addiction

I love sharing small businesses on this little blog of mine and I'm excited to share a cute little etsy shop "My little addiction" owned by Melanie.  The shop's name is quite accurate for someone like me, who really does have an addiction to dainty jewelry shops.

I asked Melanie a little bit about her handmade business:

"My little addiction is my little one-woman shop where I can sell my quality, handcrafted rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. I like to make simple, feminine designs with a hint of vintage elegance & a modern edge...hopefully offering a little something for everyone! Most of my designs feature high quality silver, some gold fill (more to come), brass, freshwater pearls & quality gemstones all at affordable prices."

1. eternity necklace // 2. little pearl necklace // 3. hammered initial ring // 4. stacking bump ring

And her dreams for it...

"My dream for myself & my shop is really to just continue being able to make & sell things that I love while taking care of my family. (My mom has been quadriplegic since late 2004 & I have been helping my dad care for her & my now 14yr old niece since the day Mom was injured & making/selling my jewelry has not only given my an incredible creative outlet, but also keeps me from feeling the need to get a job outside of the home. Win win!)"

Melanie is giving one reader a pair of her new Pebble Disc Studs. They're made entirely of argentium silver, a fine silver similar to sterling but more tarnish resistant.  (gorgeous, right?)
