Well-Dressed Reader

Today’s featured company:
Well-Dressed Reader

A little more about them:
I’m an elementary school librarian by day and I have always loved
reading or book-related jewelry. My husband and I decided to start a
business aimed at librarians and teachers who enjoy displaying their
bibliophilia. Well-Dressed Reader was born.

We work with artists from across America and Canada who
make handmade, custom jewelry and have designed items for our site. A few of the artists are also librarians by day! There is nothing
mass-produced; when a person places an order on our site, we have the
piece made by the artist. This leads to a slightly longer time you need
to wait for your jewelry, but it is worth the wait! The custom aspect
is one we are particularly proud of.

Additionally,
Well-Dressed Reader donates 10% of our profits to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We
are dedicated to helping eradicate this devastating genetic disorder.
We are very proud to contribute to a cure.

Hazelnut Cottage

This giveaway is closed.

Today’s featured company:
Hazelnut Cottage

A little more about them:
There is a little cottage near the seashore, painted white, with
sandswept grasses and puddle glass in the window panes. A sturdy picket
fence encircles the house, and on the lawn children play. Their sweet
laughter lingers in the damp, salty air. This is my home…and yours
while you visit here at Hazelnut Cottage.

With a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in graphic design and a Master’s of
Education in Teaching to guide her, Janice Avellana launched Hazelnut Cottage in 2007, when she melded her affinity for typography and a
yearning to connect meaningfully with others, into a singular passion.
The result: her line of soulful jewelry—and soon to come—art prints.
Deeply personal in nature, Jan’s creations are a form of therapy and
catharsis for this artist:
"…artmaking allows me to process the craziness of life, and i am
hopeful that these creations will somehow encourage others on their
journey. In the end, I am hoping that what moves me, stirs something in
you too."

You can find Hazelnut Cottage athttp://www.hazelnutcottage.etsy.com and http://www.hazelnut-cottage.com

Who is eligible:
EVERYONE is eligible! You don’t have to be a blogger to win, just supply a valid e-mail address.

When the giveaway ends:
Wednesday, November 19. I’ll e-mail the winner(s), and results are always posted here as well.  If the winner doesn’t respond within four business days, a new winner will be drawn.
