Funny how a little girl, born in Utah, was destined to be a beach babe.
Or maybe it isn't strange at all. Her family is beachy through and through. She must have picked us with this in mind. It's still a little chilly at the seaside, but that doesn't stop us.It's been a while since I had a give away. Let's have another, just for kicks. Waddaya say?
Leave a comment to enter to win the above necklace. It is made with rough cut aquamarine beads and silver. The center stone is amazonite. If you take a fancy to this piece, and really pine to win, twitter about the giveaway and I'll throw your name in the hat twice. Blog about it and you are in it thrice. Make sure to let me know your doings so you get your rightful comeuppance.
And if you aren't lucky, don't despair. I'm unlucky too. You aren't alone. Pop over to the shop and see what lovelies are to be had there.
Beauties such as these "Mermaid Earrings":
Oh and FYI, embroidery patterns coming soon to a blog near you. In keeping with today's theme, here's the mermaid from my High Seas set.

love that necklace and your blog. i'm a beach girl through and through, only i'm stranded in the deserts of az.
It has been too long since I've been to the beach! The necklace is simply beautiful!
What a pretty little thing...and the necklace is gorgeous too! I myself am a UT-born, CA-raised, beach-loving girl at heart. How did I end up in AZ??? Thanks for the generous opportunity!
I also love the beach, any body of water really. Born and raised in Phoenix will do that to a girl - water is a luxury.
First of all--your beach babe is all kinds of adorable. Second--that necklace: swoon! Love it! Thanks for the great giveaway!
What a beautiful beach babe you have! Love the earrings!!

I am in love with the necklace...my little Woosie girl, the man & I just got back from the beach. Would love to have a fab piece like this!
Your work is absolutely beautiful! I love the ocean, and starfish especially so I was excited to see this! Thanks for the chance to win and all of the inspiration you provide on your blog!
Another beautiful creation (both the necklace and the cute baby.)
Thanks for your daily entertainment and picture inspiration!
Pick me... Choose me... Love me.... I love your designs and drool over them. :)
I love your blog!
Oh, and I love this giveaway!
Amelie is adorable, and such a beach babe. Can't you just imagine her wearing this same necklace when she's older? :)
Well, here's to hoping I win!
This fourth sister loves the beach! Met my husband there, take the kids all the time. Desktop on computer is the boys and dad emerging from the water dragging their boogie boards. Thanks for giving us things to think about!
What a gorgeous necklace!
I wasn't born in UT, but I live here now and I ACHE for the beach. That necklace is sort of perfect...I seriously want it. Like, seriously.
I twittered! (@emilyssomething)
Lovely! The color is my favorite! I love checking out your blog and reading your posts. Always delightful!

Oh what beautiful colors...perfect for someone who longs to be walking barefoot by the sea:)

Growing up going to FL beach...now in TX and missing it! Love the aqua!!

You know me ... I'm always pining over your gorgeous jewelry! And this would be perfect to wear when we come to visit in July. So throw my name in the hat missy!
Give the kiddos a squeeze!
I would love to have that necklace. I don't have any blue necklaces and it would be lovely to wear to work.
April, remember me, it is Susan Graser, Jamie's Mom. I would love to buy the necklace and would loveto see more of your jewelry. Your blog is amazing, I love it. You are so dang talented. So happy to see you have three beautiful Heathans.
What a great give-away! I hope I win!
And I just have to say that I stumbled on your blog on the day that you first posted about "birth" moms. I have a sister who has shared a similar experience and I was deeply touched by your words. I copied and sent them to my entire family. THANK YOU!!!!
I'm one of the unlucky ones who never wins these drawings. But I still have hope that someday I will so I always try. Love your blog!!!
I think everyone was destined to be a beach babe or bum. Its just that not everyone gets to be or even knows. Living up in Utah now and meeting people who have never even seen the ocean is terrible! Yay for summer/beach!
I just love your jewelry, and this is in my new favorite color! It sure does look inspired by the beach! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I love it and your chubby baby too! Good work April!
Beautiful!!! Aquamarine is my birthstone & it looks great with black! LOVE your jewelry
Thanks for letting me peek in on your blessings....
Oh I do so love the beach! It makes your lovely give-away so much the better! We homeschool and therefor indulge in a month at the beach in the Fall if we can afford it. It's still hot enough to swim, but the crowds are all gone home. *sigh*
Thanks for the chance at winning one of your beautiful creations! I'm still in love with your mermaid ;0)
she is SO big in that photo...!!
such a beautiful card you made and necklace of course.
xoxo

Ummm--I'm not presumptuous to assume that you are aware of my love of mermaids (my daughter is one!), but I'm popping over to your shop for those earrings. Why have I missed them?
I am a mermaid who has become bewitched by your jewels please throw my name into the hat!
I'm rolling the dice. Pick me! Pick me!
i would so love to win! i come from the OC and am landlocked in Dallas. this might help? :)
