First, congratulations to Kate for winning yesterday’s giveaway!  She was lucky number 18 from random.org.

Today something for the ladies.  🙂  When I first moved to RI I started to hear about “Alex and Ani“. I had NO clue who they were or what they did but I heard the name mentioned constantly.  Turns out it is this wonderful jewelry company based right here in Rhode Island.  Their mission: “to design products that adorn the body, enlighten the mind, and empower the spirit.”  And the main thrust of their business is bracelets.  Adorable, simple, meant-to-be-stacked bracelets.  They offer a huge variety – bracelets with stones, bracelets with beads, lots of options.  And the idea is that you keep getting more and more and stacking them on top of each other.  My favorite out of all of the styles is the single charm bracelet.  Delicate and simple and with a sliding mechanism that allows it to fit all sizes of wrists.  I have always sworn off bracelets when suggested, believing that they get in the way, they are bulky, annoying, etc.  It is NOT the accessory I would ever do.  Until these!!  I got two for myself with the kid’s initials on them and I think my husband’s jaw actually dropped when I showed him that I was wearing *bracelets*.  Unfortunately since the move I cannot find them and miss them very much (hint, hint, husband).  So I have decided to give one away.  Get some lucky person started on a collection.  (Lots of RI women already have them so you’d just be adding on.)  These guys get mentioned everywhere from Lucky Magazine, to Real Simple to Sports Illustrated to People, etc.  So get in on it!

The one I’ve chosen to give away is the Path of Life bracelet.  I was taken not only with the design but with the intended meaning behind it:
“this charm illustrates life’s twists, turns and unexpected winds, all the while complimenting the beauty in its pattern”

Man does that sound like the lives of most mothers LOL!!Same as yesterday, simply leave a comment below to be entered and I will select one person at random tomorrow morning!  Good luck!
