Bethany Jane Designs: My first Giveaway

 
Oh, I'm so EXCITED!! Myself and my friend Benny of Bethany Jane Designs, came up with this GREAT idea!!  This weekend we did a photoshoot (with MOI as the photographer)- Do you like the photos???  And anyway, Bethany Jane Designs is now my first official sponsor (woo hoo) and we are doing our first collaborative Giveaway!!  I love this!!  Let me introduce you to Benny, drumroll please!!! :

Bethany Jane Designs is a small hand made jewelery company, based out of Victoria BC.  It all began in 2006 when my good friend Yarrow and I were working as servers at a remote resort on the West Coast and had a boring black uniforms so she started making earrings to spice up our look to be different every day!.  The company is currently based in Victoria BC and has been a journey migrating from Montreal to the West Coast.   Things really took off after a trip to Guatemala in fall of 2006 and arriving back to Canada filled with inspiration and beauty.

Bethany Jane is my given name and most people know me as Benny.  My designs are inspired by fashion, travel, people and the natural environment.  I have  collected the materials from various places across the country making each piece of jewelry truly one of a kind.  Much like my wardrobe which I collect from vintage shops, locally made designs, hand me downs and of course accessorized with my own creations!!  I like to add a pair of my fabulous earrings to take any outfit to the next level or change the look entirely: choosing funky turquoise, classy pearls, or free spirited feathers!

Jewelery is compelling to me as a way to express beauty, inspiration and passion. For me art is about creating something beautiful out of a space of unknowing … Art makes me excited about life, fashion and people!
Together, we are offering a Giveaway of Bethany Jane Designs signature turquoise earrings (shown below).

  2. Fantastic! Congratulations on your very first (of many I'm sure!) sponsor! And yay for Benny! So what if I'm already a follower? Then what? Do I just tell you something about me?

    I gotta admit, I love what Collette says about herself...that made me smile.

  4. Oh wow awesome! Already a follower of the blog, so number 1 is taken care of. 2) I am not a big jewelry person, but it is because I don't have much that I love. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE these, they are so beautiful and I love the turquois. I guess something interesting about me is that I am a marriage counselor who isn't married?? I make music videos of my cats? I lost 80 pounds and have done 2 half marathons to celebrate? I don't know what else! I'll join on FB as well. Hope your giveaway goes well Jodi!!

  5. Yah! to your FIRST GIVEAWAY and YAH to Bethany for being so DANG! Talented!.... I'm a follower of yours {of course!} and I am the newest follower of Bethany on Twitter!!! {@QueenEarlGrey}.

    As far as something about me that’s interesting... Hmmmm how about that I was never really a jewellery person until about 4 years ago when I came to the realization that even when wearing all black jewellery can make an outfit POP....Ever since then I’ve been obsessed... ask my husband - we can vouch for my insanity!

    XOXO

  6. Hi Benny! Your photos are beautiful, gorgeous colors. Jodi, I am also a huge fan of the section a few scrolls down showing how to match jewelry to the neckline of your clothing!! I feel like I constantly have this problem!

    A bit about me: I've been in school for the last 22 and a half years straight. Its nuts! I need to stop it and join the real world.

    About my fashion: For those of you who have been to the east coast, almost my whole wardrobe is from Frenchy's!

    Cheers!

  14. Love the pictures! Really nice.

    And - sounds like a great partnership, congrats!

    My "interesting" thing about me is that my true passion would be to be a chef. Only... I don't want to work weekends or evenings - is that possible? Instead, I work my normal 50 hr week job to pay the bills and simply cook up a storm on the weekends ;)

    PS> also following!

    Also, Jodi these pics are awesome! Nice work.
