Weekend Giveaway for FOUR Lucky Winners

I will admit publicly now that among the list of things I do regularly, I will likely never be able to add "blogging" to that list. Though I am a chatty chatty person in general, I don't fancy myself an author or the purveyor of witty... funny... blog-worthy stories.  That being said, no need to subscribe to this blog.  Instead, make sure you are a fan on Facebook because that is where you will find the most up to date information on what I am doing in The Headband Shoppe or daily life...as the case may be.

At long last it's time to reward some lucky fans with a few pretty things to get the summer started off right.  I know each and every one of you have your own unique style - some of you may not be headband wearers but you would wear earrings or a hairclip.  I get that.  I'm the same way actually.

I'm just tickled that you want to rock some feathers accessories in public...maybe even spread the word about us to people who may not know! 

---------------------------------------------------------------

Review all the available gift pieces below - you will have the option to enter for one or all of them.  This does not increase your chance of winning, just tells me which piece you'll actually wear when you win!  When you enter, tell me which pieces you love most so I can make a note when I draw winners.



GIFT #1


 Venice Headband - this headband is made with grey/blue/brown almond pheasant feathers - light and delicate this piece is super subtle and a bit Anthropologie-esque.  I like to make many of my headband styles "petite" so the feather portion of this is about 3.5" tall by 2.5-2.75" wide...just a dash of feather in the hair without overwhelming your head.  The thin headband has a metal skeleton so you can bend it and mold it to fit your head for maximum comfort.  This is so important to me, because like many, I fear those awful headaches that come with headbands that don't fit right!

GIFT #2


This is Bristol, a large statement fascinator (about 5" tall by 4" wide) with a navy blue curled goose background, a long fringed peacock feather, and black accent feathers.  This has a toothed alligator clip on the back so you can position it just about anywhere in your hair.  You could even potentially clip this onto a baby crochet headband and put it on your little one. Though the colors are different, you can see the below picture of Michelle to see what the size of this piece looks on your head. (photo credit LaBella Photography) Gorgeous!



GIFT #3


Capri earrings with purple peacock feathers and orange accent feathers.  They are made with "small" peacock feathers so they are petite with a bold pop of color.

GIFT #4

 There is almost nothing else like the Ellie Ring - a cocktail or everyday "oversized" peacock feather ring. It's fantastic and so unique!  Just don't forget to take it off before washing your hands! ;-)

---------------------------------------------------------------
 
So you've seen the free prizes now here's how to enter - everyone should complete entry #1, but the additional entries (additional chances to win!) are optional:

1) Comment on this blogpost with your first/last name, which piece(s) you most love and why.  If you can remember, please also share how you found Headband Shoppe in the first place!

2) {optional} Go to our shop and add it to your Etsy favorites - then come back and comment saying what your top THREE favorite pieces in the shop are!

3) {optional} Share our facebook fan page with your friends on Facebook (or fans if you have a fanpage yourself), then come back and leave a comment with your name and where the post can be found.

4) {optional} Tweet about @headbandshoppe or this giveaway and then come back leaving a comment with a link to the tweet.

5) {optional} Are you a blogger?  Would you like to do a small feature on Headband Shoppe for your readers?  Comment with a link to your blog if so.

6) {optional} Do you own Headband Shoppe accessories already?  Snap a photo of yourself wearing a piece and post it on our wall on Facebook.  Then come back and comment so you can have that additional entry!

All entries must be submitted by MIDNIGHT on Sunday May 13.  Winners will be drawn and announced on Monday May 14.  Winner will be responsible for contacting us privately within 24 hours, or another winner will be drawn.

  7. Hello, I love the Venice headband (Gift #1) and it's light colors.
    I also love the Ellie ring (Gift #4) and it's uniqueness. Both carry a simple look yet hold a bold statement. I found The Headband Shoppe while surfing through etsy and stumbling on it. I decided I really liked your work and added you on Facebook as well!

  8. Oh my goodness I love all of these!!! my FAVORITE though is the Ellie Ring because it is so unique and also I have a crazy obsession with peacocks! I just ordered a peacock belt from you a few weeks ago and am wearing it to prom tomorrow, can't wait to show it off!! I will post a pic on your FB page tonight or tomorrow!! The headband is my second favorite because I <3 headbandS and also I've never seen one like this before...I own many feather headbands, but this is probably the cutest/most unique I've seen and would love to wear it! I also love the bristol and the earrings!!! There is just something about peacocks that I ADORE and the way you use the peacock stuff to make your creations is AMAZING!!! :) I first found the headband Shoppe on etsy!! -Alexys M.

    These are all beautiful! Of these four, my favorites are #1 and #2. #1 is my absolute favorite. I love the colors and pattern of the pheasant feathers. Muted colors with small, delicate pattern is beautifully subtle. The second piece is really stunning! Simple as that! I like the earrings but I wash my hands way too often for a ring to be practical. It's attractive, but I could never wear it.

  12. Asking for my top three pieces from your Etsy shop is asking a lot! I'll try...so one is the Reagan grey and orange headband. One would be the Atlantis mini fascinators(all of them!)and last I guess I will say lastly I totally LOVE the coral and aqua peacock and polkadots feather hair clip. I love many more, but those are three favorites.

    I absolutely LOVE all your items Louisa and have already bought a number of buttonholes from your Etsy shop for my bridal party. I absolutely LOVE the Venice Headband because every bride needs her 'something blue' and this would be the perfect addition to my wedding outfit. It would also be the perfect addition to my honeymoon suitcase to wear in Mexico for our private beach meal as we celebrate our marriage. The blue in the headband is sure to match the azure sky and ocean we will have in the background :)

    Your work is amazing. I can't wait to tag you in our wedding pictures x
