Lipstick to Crayons was created by two sisters “joined at the hip” despite living miles apart. Different in many ways, yet both full of an energetic drive to create, design, and start projects (and browse the internet any chance they get!). Six kids between them, yet they still yearn to maintain their “hip & stylish” former selves.

Exquisite Mother’s Day locket giveaway

locket.jpgWith Mother’s Day a month away we are excited to offer a giveaway for The Fine Art Of Family’s Round Signature Floral Half Locket. The Fine Art Of Family is dedicated to just that. They offer a collection of styles that help us cherish and enjoy our most precious memories. Many of their pieces are designed by Monica Rich Kosann, a museum and gallery-exhibited fine art photographer who specializes in black and white portraiture of children and families. Monica’s inspiration are the flea markets and antique shops where she shops for the vintage lockets, frames, and other heirlooms that were meant to provide a special showcase for families’ most special memories. The Fine Art Of Family was created to offer the objects and ideas that embody that same spirit.

The Fine Art Of Family offers many exquisite jewelry styles such as charm bracelets, lockets, and necklaces in sterling silver or 18K gold. Photos easily slide in the top of each image case which makes it easy to change the photos as your child ages. You are sure to find the perfect style for your mom or yourself! They are also a great gift for a new mom or grandma.

On April 16, 2008 at 11:59 pm we will randomly choose a winner for the Round Signature Floral Half Locket in sterling silver. This stunning necklace features a single image case necklace for that one perfect picture and is designed to be worn image side down, close to the heart. The half locket is a ¾-inch case embellished with The Fine Art Of Family’s signature floral pattern and hangs on a 16-inch chain. Retails for $190.

To be entered in the drawing please visit The Fine Art Of Family website and browse their jewelry collection then come back here and leave us a comment about which style is your favorite. US residents only, please.

We’ll also be posting the winner’s name to PRIZEYWinners, so if you don’t want to leave your email address, just check there for the winner announcement after this giveaway closes.
