Giveaway: $50 Shop Credit to Literally Inspired

You are in for a treat today.

My friend Ginger is offering a Making Lemonade reader a $50 credit to her shop, Literally Inspired.  That's enough for quite a few goodies from her adorable Etsy shop!

Literally Inspired is one of my favorite places to {virtually} visit.  I "splurged" on a yellow version of this vintage inspired cabochon necklace a few months ago, and get compliments all the time.  In fact, I'm wearing it right now-- not on purpose, pinky swear!  It's my sunshine on a cloudy day.  ;-)  And at $16, you can't really call it a splurge, right?


Guess who also loved the necklace?  Noodle.  She wanted it so much, she'd wear it around for days.  Last Christmas, I ordered a smaller version in pink that she proudly wears on special occasions... like going to preschool, the grocery store, and playdates.  Ginger was so sweet and even used a shorter chain so it wouldn't be too big for her.


My shopping spree didn't stop there.  I bought a vintage rose cabochon necklace in purple for my aunt, and a "Bee" for my sister (similar in style to this "You Are My Sunshine" necklace.)


As you can see, I'm a teeny bit Literally Inspired obsessed.  Probably because the pieces are so cute and Ginger is such a wonderful person I love supporting her shop!

Really, check out these beauties and try not to smile:







Look at these little ruffles, my new favorite thing to obsess over in her shop:

    Super adorable and has an indie feel without one feeling like we are trying too hard to return to our 90s "alternative girl" indie days :)
