The Vintage Pearl: a necklace for Eden... win one!

Saturday, July 26, 2008

a necklace for Eden... win one!

Eden will be one month old tomorrow.

Isn't that amazing?

It seems like just yesterday I was longing to hold her for the first time. Now she has outgrown her newborn diapers, she's already wearing 3-6 months clothes and is almost sleeping through the night... she sleeps from around 11 pm -4:30 am, eats, then goes back to sleep until about 9 am- not bad for 1 month :)

So for her one month "birthday" I made her first necklace...

A small sterling silver flower hand stamped, hung on a sterling chain with a single pearl dancing beside it.

The flower charm is slightly domed like a cup...

Win one for your special little girl... just tell sOmEtHiNg FuN about her!
A winner will be chosen at random :)

You can also find them in my shop!

Pam said...: I see you posted at 10:30 p.m. I remember like it was yesterday... waiting for my little girl to finish her last feeding of the day so I could tuck her in at 11:00, jump in bed myself, and pray for 6 hours of sleep! My daughter will be 27 next month. She has had an amazing year! We thought we had lost her to meth, but our prayers were answered - she will be clean and sober 3 years in October! She was a beautiful bride in January, has a great job that she loves, and she and her husband just moved into their first little house. Our God is an awesome God!

I enjoy your blog tremendously. You have a beautiful little family. I am anxiously awaiting my "Faith" necklace!; Saturday, July 26, 2008 11:35:00 PM CDT
Heather said...: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the necklace!! If I don't win, I will definitely be purchasing one.

Let's see...something fun about Peyton...there's lots. My favorite thing about her has to be her spitfire additude. She is a ham for the camera and absolutely loves her big brother. I think she is going to be a tomboy. Her favorite things to play with are cars, trucks, and balls.; Saturday, July 26, 2008 11:46:00 PM CDT

mumovearls said...: I have a 2 year old daughter named Hendrix Maree, She is the light of my life after having 3 ruff and tuff boys. Hendrix is a princess at heart but when it comes right down to it, she will always be a Tomboy. A couple days ago I found her watching cartoons, wearing her brothers snow boots, Spider-man beanie and a pink fluffy dress. As I watched her, she pulled off her hat and pulled out a piece of Baloney and started to eat it... (What?...Where did that come from????)
I guess she will always be a tutu wearing princess-tomboy at heart but hey This is Life...
She would love her own little "honey" necklace, I'll cross my fingers!-Nena; Sunday, July 27, 2008 12:26:00 AM CDT
Annie said...: Well, this is a little something fun about my youngest, who is now 16!

I can't remember what was going on in the house, but we were a family of 5, my husband and myself with 3 daughters!! We were all in the living room when we discovered our youngest wasn't there. All of us called her name............

in she sauntered, eating a 1lb block of butter, unwrapped of course so it was melting in her hand!

We all just about cried we were laughing and enjoying her so much!

I need to remember stories like this as she is going through a rough time during her 16th year.

What a beautiful prize.

Shealynn Benner said...: I have 2 little girls! LOL. You knew that, though. ;)

Oldest: She is 6 years old. Can't believe it! I love everything about her, but, a couple things that really stick out... I love that she remembers EVERYTHING! I could promise her chocolate chip cookies, and 2 weeks later, she reminds me. LOL! She also loves to say, "bummer dude". How could you go wrong with that? LOL!

Youngest: She will be 2 in October. I love everything about her too, but the things that stick out... her wanting to wear her sister's shoe. Just one shoe. And walk around. Everyday all day [unless she is napping]. She LOVES to sit in the car in her seat, and sing to the music while I am driving. Too cute for words!

Erin, this necklace is so BEAUTIFUL! You never cease to amaze me! I need to order a necklace! SOOON! :); Sunday, July 27, 2008 12:39:00 AM CDT
Rosie and Derek said...: My beautiful daughter Julia is turning 6 in two weeks, one of these necklaces would be the perfect gift.

She is constantly making us laugh and loves picking up cute little sayings like "I suppose..." and "You crack me up". She is starting first grade this year and I'm going to miss having her with me during the day!; Sunday, July 27, 2008 12:58:00 AM CDT

jepnet said...: My daughter's favorite thing is pasta. She wants to eat it dry, cooked, or anything in between. Her speech is delayed except in the pasta isle in the market. She rattles off spaghetti, rigatoni, ziti rigati, penne, and fettuccini with clarity and confidence. It is always a bright spot in an otherwise mundane chore.; Sunday, July 27, 2008 3:02:00 AM CDT
Jessica said...: Ava is a sweet girl. She is almost three. She would do anything just to go to the grocery store in her pink cowgirl boots and cowgirl hat. :) She loves to be barefoot in the grass. She also loves to collect flowers for a small vase on her bedside table. :) She has a love for horsies and adores the two that God graced her with that live across the street. They belong to a sweet girl that lives there and we are able to visit them anytime we want, with carrots in hand of course. :)

What a joy. We actually call Ava our contagious joy. She brings laughter and smiles anywhere she goes. Oh and did I mention that she loves to dance...oh yes. And how fun would that dancing pearl look around her neck. :)

Your artistry is wonderful! Thanks for sharing it with the world. So glad to find your site.; Sunday, July 27, 2008 3:03:00 AM CDT

Spare Time Designs (Tammy) said...: It hink daily I remember the newborn days with my girls especially. They find the stories of their explosive poop and barf.

Anonymous said...: Oh--I just love your work Erin!!
My little girl--Emerson Marie is 4 years old and has a wonderful little personality and is quite the ham! My favorite thing that she does is with her little brother (Grayson) who is 13 months--she calls him "BUddy" made that up on her own and she loves to "smack" him on the butt!! As if she was one of the boys playing baseball together! Ha! It's the funniest thing..oh..and she also thinks everything she has to say is "very important"..those are her favorite words! Thanks for letting us all brag on our little girls..it's fun reading everyones post!

pitaharmon said...: I have 2 daughters. Amber (13) is so smart, she's taught herself how to speak Japanese and play real songs on her electric guitar. She just donated her long hair to locks of love. (tears!!) Abby (3) is the spitting image of Amber (only much chunkier) but alot different, she is adventurous, silly, and she loves to (try) to cook and wants to help "make a dinner" every day. I am very lucky indeed!; Sunday, July 27, 2008 8:29:00 AM CDT

Hmmm...something funny about my girls?!?! Julia LOVES baby dolls. One of her favorites is named "Cool Look Guy". Anna has a baby doll she loves too and has named it "Clap Your Hands Little Baby". Kind of a mouthful if you ask me LOL!

stinkypeteandcompany said...: Before our gal Stink could read, we used to fudge her fortune cookie readings... After whatever the fortune was, we would add, "with animals" because she loved animals so much.
So her cookie might impart such gems as "Good things (with animals) are coming your way" or something of the sort.

Two days ago, she came sprinting into the house, her hands clasped in front of her, her eyes wide.
"We have to save it! We have to google 'baby mouse' and save it. Darn cat".
She had "rescued" an infant (eyes still closed) field mouse from the claws of the barn cat, (herself "rescued" by la stink when just a kitten and stuck in the engine of DH's truck). Stink named the poor mouse Maestro (mice-tro) and nursed it with an eyedropper and kitten formula (every two hours) for almost a full day before we were able to get it to a wildlife rehabilitator.
They told her she was a wildlife hero.
I don't remember reading a fortune that said "You will be a true hero (with animals)", but anything is possible.
Your work, as always, amazes me - the music on your blog makes me remember and smile.

Christina said...: What a beautiful necklace! I just found your blog and I'll enjoy following your adventures now.

My little girl is 2 1/2 now, and more fun than I ever imagined! I really do think it just keeps getting better. What's on my mind now is her calling smoothies "wows" since that was her reaction the first time she heard the blender. Today for the first first time she called it a "smoothie" and it's a bit bittersweet to see her baby terms exchnaged for the real ones.; Sunday, July 27, 2008 9:34:00 AM CDT
Cindi said...: I would love one for my oldest DD. She is so sweet and has had a rough time of it lately. She broke her leg 1 week before summer vacation so she has had abbreviated summer fun. I can't believe she goes back to school to start Kindergarten in a week. She is so considerate of her little sister and is such a big help to me. She is the silliest little thing I have ever seen and I am so proud of her. Thanks for letting me brag!; Sunday, July 27, 2008 9:35:00 AM CDT
ncrespi@aol.com said...: When my daughter, Tiffany, was early school age, I took her to a restaurant in process of having an engagement shower. My little girl walked over to the wishing well filled with gifts, pointed to it & loudly said, " That's pretty fancy for a garbage can!"
Fortunately, the guests had a sense of humor.

My favorite thing she's doing now is saying "mamama" but when daddy's not home, and we've been around him, it's "dadda".

Jill @ Live Laugh Blog said...: I have two, either of my girls would love this though, I think it would be fore my baby Audrey.
She will be ten months old on the 2nd of August. And she's, get this, taking steps. Why on earth a little thing like herself should want to start walking so early? I have no idea. Probably because she wants to keep up with her big Sister Adeline. I just love how they love one another and that's probably my most favorite thing about having two girls - having sisters is just so special!; Sunday, July 27, 2008 2:08:00 PM CDT

My girls love to catch frogs in the pond behind out house. The other day my youngest Brooke brought a great big frog over to me and told my he was talking to her.

deconstructing jen said...: Erin that's a beautiful necklace. I love the flower shaped tag.

I'm not gonna throw my daughter's name in there since I 'won' something last week but I thought I would put a friend of mine's amazing little girl in the ring.

Aubrey was born at 24 weeks and only weighed 1 pound 4 ounces. She was such an amazing fighter. She lived through 6 months in the NICU to come home with a feeding tube and a number of other serious complications. She's now 4 years old and in the same preschool class as Evey. She's such an amazing and sweet little miracle.; Sunday, July 27, 2008 6:01:00 PM CDT

I had caught a fish and not thinking handed the worm container to her. When I went to get another worm the container was empty. When he dad asked where the worms went she said"I put them back in the water daddy so they could be with their family". I wanted to get mad but with her smile and how she said it we just started laughing.; Sunday, July 27, 2008 6:51:00 PM CDT

Sweet Sunshine Boutique said...: Wow! I can't pick just one Daughter to post about...so I must post something special about each Daughter (I have 3)!

My sweet Chloe ~ Ahhhh...I remember being just 12 wks along with my first sweet angel & already having the nursery completed! Yes, I was a bit anxious to meet her, Jason (Hubby) was just as excited as I was! I have wanted to be a "Mama" since I was a little girl...so this was a dream come true! I cried tears of joy just at my first glimpse of her, I will always remember the nurse telling me from under her medical mask...Jennifer, she is exquisite!

My darling Hannah ~ Oh my playful, wonderful, all the time smiley Hannah! I wondered how in the world I could love someone else as much as I loved Chloe...well, the moment Hannah entered this world (before really), the love just came for her so naturally & all of my worries just washed away! I was so happy to have been blessed, yet again with such a beautiful Daughter!

My little, petite, funny Shelby ~ Wow! I must have saved the funniest for last! Shelby has been a constant joy since minute 1! Such an easygoing baby, darling toddler (most of the time, this year has been a bit tricky, lol!). I have felt so incredibly lucky to have three wonderful girls!! How could my Hubby & I be so blessed??? We still wonder...They are the absolute joys of my life! Shelby is the queen of "funny sentences", just hilarious & keeps us all in stitches! She is the smallest, literally very petite & just a total gem to be around & love!!!

Thanks for letting me share Erin...Happy 1 month Birthday Eden!!

Don't you just love how independant and insistent your little girl can be? My youngest insists on wearing these red, patent leather, shiny slip on boots over all of her shoes lately. I have to give the girl credit for being consistent! She is my little "Savvy" girl - that is her nickname. You can see pics of the ever famous "sock boots" on my blog :)

Marie said...: Something fun about my 19 month old daughter, Madeline...

She just started sleeping in her "big girl" bed and has been doing just ok, some nights are better than others...a couple of days ago, during one of her naps, our 6 yr old, Isabella, wanted to check on her. She went upstairs and ran back down laughing hysterically. Apparently, Madeline woke up from her nap, crawled off her bed and was laying in the doorway sticking her little hand under the crack of the door and all you could see were her teeny little fingers. It was pretty cute and we couldn't stop laughing and smothering her with kisses when we opened the door!; Sunday, July 27, 2008 9:52:00 PM CDT

arbrashears said...: When it turns midnight, my sweet baby girl will be 6 months old! The time goes so quickly, and I want to hold on to each passing day. Not only was her birthday special for bringing her to us, but it made our oldest daughter a big sister - and boy, what a champion she is. She can make her baby sister grin bigger even than Mommy or Daddy. She makes up silly songs to sing her. They share grins and giggles already. So, in honor of Hannah - my first baby girl and the first of three prayers answered for a sweet daughter!

Blessings on you Eden!

It's a good thing she reads well, because some of the movies she likes have subtitles.
I adore her and she's growing up into an interesting person and she'll be a traveler and have lots of adventures when she grows up.

She is always decked out with girly accessories - headband, bracelet, painted toes, bejeweled binky clip. I can't seem to follow that "take one off" accessory rule with her - they're all too cute. The best part? She tolerates them all and practically never tries to remove them. She even holds out her wrist when I take out her bracelet, she is such a GIRL.; Sunday, July 27, 2008 11:35:00 PM CDT

She had the biggest smile on her face when she finally got the baby in and started wheeling her around the kitchen.

My daughter is a super sassy 4 year old, but tells everyone that she's a "woman!" As soon as she wakes up in the morning she immediately changes out of her PJ's and puts on dress up clothes and high heels. Everything about her is hilarious and cute and this necklace would definitely compliment her. So grateful to have her as a daughter.

LMAO! (Um, Daddy caved on the intended punishment, btw.)

Anywho, she's usually VERY good, and so I know she would love (and deserve) a necklace like Eden's!

I also suspect because she had just learned printing her name in Kindergarten, maybe Candace was too long?

joannaonthelake said...: I am enjoying reading about what everyone has to say about their children! The subject of this giveaway is such an entertaining idea! My 7 yo daughter calls herself a fierce fashionista and I know it is because she heard me call someone that a few months ago. It is humorous because wherever we go, whether it is to the grocery store, the library, the mall, my daughter strikes up conversations with strangers and when they ask her her name, she says, I'm a fierce fashionista ya know! People just look at her, and then at my and start laughing! I worry that she is so friendly with strangers, but I never let her out of my sight, and sometimes I even hold her hand, so I need to keep a short leash on this one! She loves to dress up, by that I mean she loves to wear all her good clothes, and when I try and pick out her outfits, she won't wear what I select, so maybe she is turning into a fierce fashionista right under my nose! Of course, I won't let her get away with too much, yet I want her to develop her own sense of self and identity! I just thought this sort of thing wouldn't happen until she was a teenager, LOL! I know she would adore having one of these necklaces, she would probably never take it off! Thank you for offering this very cool giveaway and for allowing us to share our stories!

Elisabeth said...: I'd love this for my 20-month old jewelry addict, Annabel. She's already into my necklaces and makes her Daddy and me wear her plastic beads around. She particularly loves wearing a necklace when she's dressed in nothing but a diaper. I think this would be a perfect first necklace for her!; Monday, July 28, 2008 7:43:00 PM CDT

Tugs said...: What an awesome gift.
Our "Libby" girl !
She is our little miracle.
She is laughter, love and light of life , personified! With every passing day we see more of Jesus in the light of her eyes and her love and joy for the lives of others. She just recently turned 12 years old and already has such a passion to live her life in purity for the Lord.; Monday, July 28, 2008 8:18:00 PM CDT

Starshine3 said...: Something fun about my little girl...
My eldest loves to sing, and loves music in general. She loves listening to my mp3s and has ever since she was a baby. Right now, we're really into Japanese culture and my preferred genre of music is rock. So she wants to be in a jrock (Japanese rock) band ^_^ I'm looking for a decent child's electric guitar for her to start learning on. But I love seeing her so excited about something :) This necklace is perfect- thanks for the giveaway!; Monday, July 28, 2008 8:29:00 PM CDT
sk8fancat said...: My daugher is my best friend. We love to shop and have lunch together. When she was little she would love to surprise me with beautiful art work that I would frame for our t.v. room.

rlgrady said...: The best thing about my daughter is that she is so much more brave than I am. She has no problem getting up on stage for school plays, or chorus concerts. You wouldn't catch me up there!; Monday, July 28, 2008 9:23:00 PM CDT
Christy said...: My daughter is one. She loves to taunt her older brother by crawling up to where he's playing, stealing a toy and crawling away as fast as she can. If he chases her, she either waves the toy out of reach or tosses it in her getaway. Then she giggles. So cute!; Monday, July 28, 2008 9:39:00 PM CDT
ELSIE said...: My baby, Lauren, just graduated high school in June of this year. She loves to dance. The joy that she shows when she is dancing can make anyone smile. Thanks for this great opportunity! This necklace is beautiful.

~amber~ said...: I can't believe its been a month already! :) Let's see...something fun about Emma. She can be so stinkin' onery and yet adorable at the same time. Like tonight at Target. She ran two aisles away from me and took her shoes off, giggling the whole time, then she'll say "mama hold" and look up at me with twinkling eyes that make it so hard to place her in a time out in Target with strangers looking at you like you're crazy - but I love her!; Monday, July 28, 2008 10:24:00 PM CDT
orchidfae said...: My little girl is so funny. When she wants something, and I say to be patient...all she has to do is say Por Favor? to me and I do what she wants :); Monday, July 28, 2008 10:26:00 PM CDT
maggie0352 said...: Thanks for the chance to win,love these necklaces. My girl loves to dance and sing songs. She is sooo smart and wants to take care of her older special needs brother.

Amy said...: what a sweet necklace.

let me tell you about olivia (liv). she is one of a kind. i always say that she's wound like an eight day clock. she has more energy than she knows what to do with. but at night when it's time to unwind and get ready for bed she just wants to snuggle. she's the best snuggler. i find myself smelling her hair and tickling her arm with tears in my eyes. how lucky am i to have such a beautiful daughter. i love her so much it's crazy!; Monday, July 28, 2008 10:50:00 PM CDT
Noggy said...: I love your Eden necklace...so simple and elegant. ZOEY is a name that means life in the ancient greek ie. zoe. This would be perfect for a little girl who is a daily reminder of the joy there is in life.; Monday, July 28, 2008 10:50:00 PM CDT

h2oh said...: Maybe you've already drawn... but if not, and even if so... I'd love to share something about my little two-year-old munchkin :) Last night,during a DVR'd episode of Care Bears, my baby girl told me she "wuved me" for the first time! Granted she was slap happy and it was b/c I fast forwarded through the commercial for her but she literally grabbed my leg and looked up and said "I wuuvvvvv you!" Ooooooh melted my heart! Thank you Care Bears!

The necklace is absolutely beautiful and Mia's name is SHORT!! Would look precious :)

Thanks for the opportunity!

trishden said...: My little girl is 26 and I miss her terribly as she lives 3000 miles away on the left coast while we are here on the right. We talk at least twice a week, but there is that melancholy when thinking of her which I do often. However I do have this tremendous sense of pride too as she had successfully graduated from college (Magna Cum Laude) three years ago and is well on her way to a prosperous career! This is a beautiful necklace, sounds like your little girl is lucky to have a Mom like you. Thanks for such a great giveaway!; Monday, July 28, 2008 11:51:00 PM CDT
Michelle Macauley said...: What more can I say about my little precious Gretchen. She is the most stubborn child I know but I wouldn't trade a bit of her personality and spark.; Tuesday, July 29, 2008 10:32:00 AM CDT
kaylee8 said...: My daughter is a huge help to me - she helps out with almost everything!; Tuesday, July 29, 2008 12:17:00 PM CDT
Eloise said...: My little girl is almost 6 and there are so many fun things about her. The way she smiles and the way she laughs, if you're in a bad mood and you hear that, that's all you need. Her little smile still melts my hearts just as it did the first time she did it. Now, we are blessed to have our second and last little girl arriving in September, and seeing the excitement on my 6 year old's face is what is priceless to me. Thanks for a great opportunity!

Carolyn Di Leo said...: My middle daugher is ten. She makes up words. The other day she was singing a Jimmy Buffet song about cheeseburgers being the food on which she peas. We all laughed and she said, You know, it means you like it... I peas that food!
How great, making up words and meanings... I think she will be a politican!; Tuesday, July 29, 2008 2:29:00 PM CDT
samsakara said...: My daughter is 8 and loves to use her imagination. After she seen Kung Foo Panda she pretended to be the tiger. She ran ran around the house jumping up and down. Was a silly sight to see.

KathyEller said...: LOVE LOVE LOVE the necklaces.

My daughter Madelyn is sandwiched between two older brothers and two younger brothers. She tends to be the odd men out with no one to play with. She completely gave up her room so I could set up a brithing tub for her new baby borther and then so I could nurse him at night and not wake anyone. She gets up every morning with her 2 year old brother. SHe is such a girly girl and with all these boys in the house it would be nice to treat her like the princess she is with something girly just for her. Her 8th birhtday is in a month and I have nothing planned :(

Whimsical Creations said...: My daughter is going to be 20mths next week. She is such a girly girl and is obsessed with shoes. If you want her to be good in a store, don't give her a toy go to the shoe dept. It is too funny! She can put flip flops on the correct feet and walk in them.

Your shop is lovely!!

Anonymous said...: Eden reminds me of my daughter Hayley . My favorite thing about Hayley is her smile and the look she gets on her face when she discovers something new (her feet, my purse...you name it!)

Congratulations on your gorgeous new arrival!

Becky said...: love the new design. i can be at my wit's end with no patience left and when little leah (4 months) smiles at me- I completely melt and all of the tension goes away. She makes my day over and over again.; Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:16:00 AM CDT

julie604 said...: Beautiful necklace.

My daughter will be 3 in November and she already talks so much. When she tells you something and you ask her how she knows that she says "I'm 2 1/2 mommy"; Thursday, August 21, 2008 11:19:00 AM CDT
~ Cee ~ said...: Too gorgeous!

My daughter, Ellen, is beginning daycare in three weeks when I go back to work, and I am just heartbroken. She'll be 13 weeks when she starts, and I am going to miss her snuggles.

Right now, my favorite funny thing about her is that she is in love with the ceiling fan in our bedroom. She smiles at it and talks to it. Whenever she is a little fussy, we lie in bed and look at the fan, and all is well.

I also love how she has huge smiles for her daddy when he comes home from work.; Monday, September 15, 2008 2:33:00 PM CDT
