etc jewelry shop giveaway

We love giveaways. We also love when our giveaways can help bring some attention to a worthy cause. ETC Jewelry is a shop that was started by Beverly who started hand stamped jewelry earlier this year in hopes to start raising enough money to help support a Rwandan adoption. Here is what she says of the process, "We're currently #135 out of approx. 175 families "waiting" at the minister's office in Kigali, Rwanda. Three of my husband's sisters have also applied to adopt and two of them have already brought their sons home. We've had our dossier into Rwanda since last September. We have three boys, one age 6 and twins age 4 so we've asked for a baby girl 0-12 mos. One of my sisters-in-law has lived in Kigali for the last two years and has been a tremendous help in the process.  We're really hoping to have our daughter home by Christmas! I'm going to be working as hard as I can to try to raise the funds for our travel over the next couple of months!"

Isn't that so amazing? For more information on Beverly's story, visit this page. There is also her blog, Brownies to Rwanda that you should visit. Go take a peak at this beautiful hand stamped jewelry and support this wonderful family!



There are so many beautiful hand stamped jewelry pieces that would make such great gifts for friends and family for any occasion.


Today, Beverly is being amazingly generous and giving away two $50 gift certificates to buy some hand stamped jewelry. To enter, you need to visit the site and find your favorite item. Then come back and let us know what it is by leaving a comment. For a second entry, you can like ETC Jewelry on Facebook. This giveaway will end Sunday, September 4th at 11:59pm PT.

    I love this look. I think I like the "faith" necklace the best. Perfect for my three little munchkins!
