Are you drooling yet? The beautiful jewelry shown above is from Tippy Stockton Jewelry, one of my loveliest blog sponsors. Her newest line is called Antiquities. This line is the perfect blend of bling and vintage, which for me translates into a true classic piece of jewelry that I will wear for years.
I can honestly tell you that every item she sells seems to scream my name. See the jewelry above with the religious metals? Yup, as a Catholic those catch my eye every time and this time she has made a bracelet with my patron saint on it. That St. Therese bracelet up there with the beautiful vintage milk glass rosary chain and the vintage pink button, one of those is mine.
I know you are jealous, but you don’t need to be, you can purchase your own Tippy Stockton Jewelry and use the coupon code that Tippy is so generously is sharing with my readers. Get 20% off using code: MARCH20 . Hurry, because this code expires at the end of March, just click her ad under Sponsors over on the right hand side and you will jump right to her store.
Just one last thought, Mother’s Day is coming up and I think these jewels would make a perfect Mother’s Day Gift. Just something to think about…
