A Collection of You for the Holidays & We Have a Winner







my little holiday shoot!

I've really enjoyed reading all of your first blog entries and I have to admit, I spent most of yesterday reading pages and pages of your blogs, especially the beginnings (and a lot of middles and nows)---there is so much amazing work, beautifully crafted entries and carefully curated pictures. From obscure finds shared to budding photographers blossomed, I felt as if I got to know so many of the blog yous a little better...pure joy for me. But the best part? Seeing the evolution of your blog, your new art medium, this living thing you've all created in your own ways. While our reasons for beginning to blog differ, what we all began took on it's own life, a universe, a collection of you. We've given audience to our work and ideas where before there may have been none and by so doing, have grown creatively, inspired each other, given each other confidence, and made real friends. I saw it everywhere and feel it all the time since I've "met" so many of you...

You are all amazing, you are all winners and tomorrow I want to tell you about some of my favorite first posts but first without further ado...
The Winner of The Bonbon L'Oiseau et Le Cle Earrings Is...via Random Integer Generator's Top Number:
Lucky number 8...someone whose blog always has a wonderful story to tell, showcasing her amazing talent and whose musical tastes I happen share to a tee...the lovely and talented Cara from Octavine Illustration! Woohoo!!

And one more little thing for all of my blogging peeps: the new Limited Edition Holiday Heirloom Collection was inspired by you...little gold-dipped lockets and hearts with elegant little Victorian glass disks and freshwater pearls on sterling silver or 18k gold-fill chains with lobster clasps and little freshwater pearls at the neck. I wanted to create something simple, easy to wear with a place to carry your memories. I'll donate 20% of each sale to The Bowery Mission, one of New York's oldest and most important charities, to help feed and shelter homeless folks espcially in this hardest of seasons, the winter...

These will retail on the Bonbon Oiseau website and in select shops for $148-$168 but I wanted to offer you all 35% off until December 10th...(pssst...drop the hint to your men, your sisters, yourselves, just be sure to mention (or have him mention!) your blog or that you read my blog (!) in the email) These will go up on the site first thing tomorrow but feel free to email me at: bonbonoiseau at gmail dot com if you see one you like/want now!

I absolutely love the white charms; I think the moon and the star one is my favorite.

My all time favorite earrings I have from you are the bee and the flower and I always get comments on them, even more so now that I work with a lot of people who study bee language and society. They are not only awesome and fashionable, but they have nerd appeal!
