10,000 Comment Giveaway #5: 50 Comments

For further information about what this is and why I’m doing it, you can read more about 10,000 Comment Thank You Giveaway Week here.

Tina Martin Designs has the kind of pieces I favorite over and over on Etsy, not only because of the beautiful designs, but because she fashions her pieces from re-purposed materials collected from flea markets and estate sales. I almost feel like I should apologize for introducing all of you to her stuff because you are going to be drooling over what you find. And wanting. Wanting with all your heart and soul. :)

Like this In Bloom Brooch necklace.

Or this Starbright Shell Charm Necklace.

Oh my, or these Antique Charm Earrings.

For this giveaway, Tina sent over this Green German Glass Pendant Necklace. To quote her:

I chose it for its unique look. The pendant is green German glass (vintage) attached toa  sterling silver chain with champagne colored fresh water pearls, connected by silver filigree charms found at the flea market. All wire, chain, and clasps are sterling silver.

This piece is gorgeous in person, and I chose to save it for a giveaway toward the end of the week because I wanted to give something really special to those who have been some of the most frequent contributors to That Wife. These are the kind of pieces that become heirlooms, and I’m looking forward to seeing the name of the wonderful commenter I’ll be mailing this to. My photos don’t do it justice, I think it’s even prettier in person. Believe you me.

Rules:

1. Simply comment below to enter. Tina has loved reading what you’ve said about other shops (She messaged me on Etsy and told me so!), so please leave your thoughts about her work with your entry! (And then go heart and buy her stuff, that would probably make her the happiest!)
3. Only those who have commented at least 50 times previously on That Wife are eligible to win the item in this post.
2. Only comments left before Monday, November 9, 2009 count toward your total number of comments.
3. Each entrant is only eligible to win one item. If Random.org really loves you and chooses you twice I’ll email you and let you take your pick between two items and the other will go to someone else.
4. This contest closes at 8:00 am on Monday, November 16, 2009. Entries will not be accepted after that time.

    *Swoon*
    That’s about all I can say about this piece. Thanks for enlightening us to TMD. I will definitely be checking out her other pieces.

  2. Britt says:

    Ooh, I have a black dress this would go perfectly with. I’m off to check out more on her shop! :)

  3. Erin says:

    Ooohh… this necklace is so incredibly gorgeous. I just looked at her shop and was pleasantly surprised do see how reasonably priced everything is considering how beautiful it all is! I especially liked the Chandelier is Queen earrings and the turquoise necklaces.

  4. Cristin says:

    I love this necklace! I love her wedding crasher earrings too. They would be such a nice switch from my traditional pearls, but still in classic white.

    (Also – I have 49 comments with this email address and then another ~50+ with my other two addresses… just a reminder that I had replied with more than 1 address!)

  5. schmei says:

    *Gasp*! This is stunning. And I also have just the dress that needs this kind of prettiness.

    If I don’t win this giveaway, I think “anything from the TMD shop” may need to go on my Christmas wish list… :-D

  6. Molly says:

    I’m definitely not eligible, but I didn’t want TMD to go without sweet comments just because not so many of us hit the 50 mark. All that to say: this is GORGEOUS! The vintage styling, the glass… I’m tempted to go buy myself a present. You’ve already snatched up my favorite here, but the wood pendant and the sterling & citrine pendant are also calling my name.

    Jenna Reply:

    Agreed! I’m marking your comment so I remember not to count it in the giveaway, but I so appreciate you letting Tina know how much you love her stuff!

  7. Oh wow, this necklace is gorgeous! I would love to have this piece in my ever-growing Etsy jewelry collection! :)

  8. kay says:

    The necklace is absolutely lovely. I love unique jewelry, and Tina’s whole shop is amazing! Totally random, but a lot of the colors/shapes she uses reminds me of Greece… I don’t know… it just looks like jewelry you could wear while walking down a sandy beach, with a white sundress on. :) It’s beautiful! Yet another great giveaway!

  9. Cécy says:

    It definitely has an heirloom look. It looks like something that would be handed down by your own grandmother.
    Just looking at it I’m imagining all the outfits I could wear it with.

    I love, love love the raindrop pearl earrings too.
    My husband asked me last night what I wanted for christmas… well I might need to send him an etsy list. I love unique jewlery.

  10. R says:

    This is beautiful and I really love that her pieces are made from re-purposed materials!

  11. phruphru says:

    Man, I literally gasped when I saw this piece. Incredibly gorgeous!

  12. Kasia Fink says:

    Definitely a one-of-a-kind piece that would make you feel special no matter what you wore it with.

  13. Sophia says:

    That necklace is so beautiful! A lot of my friends are into steampunk, and I love the look of delicate antique jewelry. I have some of my great grandmother’s, and it’s all so dainty and ladylike I almost can’t handle it :)

  14. Evelyn says:

    Good heavens! That’s lovely!!

  15. amanda says:

    I need to mark you as well, or I will forget, but thanks so much for commenting! I know Tina is checking the comments and I’m sure she really appreciates the positive feedback.

  16. Jenny says:

    Oh man! It’s official. You’re the devil. Why do you tempt me with so many gorgeous things!!!?? Her jewelry really is unique and one of a kind. What a great idea to take things that are vintage and create a masterpiece.

    Also, I hope it’s okay that I’m entering pretty much all of these. I love everything so far!

  17. Rachael says:

    Joining the ranks when I say I’m definitely not eligible, but hot dang, look at the goy-jiss necklace! SWOONOVERT ALERT.

    Jenna Reply:

    Tina just messaged me on Etsy, she’s checking back regularly because she loves all of these sweet comments!

  18. Kate says:

    Her Jewelry is so beautiful! I love all the earrings.

  19. I would want to keep this one for myself, I don’t know if I want to give it to you. You don’t need it for baby.

  20. Turtle says:

    What a stunning piece. I don’t qualify either– but Jenna, I just wanted to say this contest thing has been really neat– i think it’s a great way to reward the most active members of the That Wife community and the prizes are great. Thanks for being such an engaging blogger!

  24. Ellie says:

    Her stuff is really cool! I may have to buy the starbright shell charm necklace….and that Jade and Pearl necklace is just gorgeous. I always have trouble finding appropriate necklaces for v-neck shirts and I think these would be just great!

  25. TinaMartinDesigns says:

    I just wanted to say “Thank You” to Jenna & all you wonderful bloggers who had such nice things to say about my jewelry!!! Good luck everyone & to the lucky person who wins my necklace – Enjoy!

  26. Jeannie says:
