Crazy Cute Link Party #26 - and HomeStudio Giveaway

by Courtney
on Wednesday, November 02, 2011
Thursday,... WATCH OUT! Here we come!
I am beyond, beyond excited to show you this week's giveaway! It comes from two very talented people (husband and wife), Stef and Mark of HomeStudio.
Stef and Mark began their joint effort as jewelry artists in 2008. This mom-preneur had a goal to raise a family and a business together. She reined in the creative talents of artist husband, Mark dedicating their whole home into an art studio.
HomeStudio began as an offshoot of Stef and Mark's interior furnishings business. As real estate was taking a nosedive a few years ago, home furnishings had to follow. At the time, Stef was making her name known as a jewelry instructor while Mark was showing his art in galleries. Both had backgrounds in fashion retail as well. Creating miniature pieces of art as jewelry and combining this with an eco-friendly focus (incorporating used Scrabble game pieces) seemed to be a creative no-brainer.
Mark has created the majority of the graphic designs, while some have been commissioned from other artists. Inspiration for design themes comes from suggestions from customers, pop culture and nature itself. Mark and Stef are forever “dabblers” and always willing to try new things. You never know what might be under the HomeStudio umbrella sooner or later. 
Together Stef and Mark juggle raising a young family while making each jewelry piece by hand full-time. It isn't always easy but the rewards of being at-home parents have given them wonderful opportunities to be involved in their community. They make their home and run the business from sunny San Diego, California. HomeStudio Arts sells their creations retail through their successful Etsy shopwww.etsy.com/shop/HomeStudio as well as wholesale in a variety of brick and mortar shops throughout the USA. Follow HomeStudio atwww.facebook.com/HomeStudioFans or Twitter.com/HomeStudioArts


I, seriously, want EVERYTHING in this shop and I had the hardest time just selecting which ones to show here, so you gotta head over and take a look at all the awesome stuff they have! 


Now, don't be fooled, they don't just make jewelry! What about one of these adorable scrap fabric tutus?
HomeStudio is giving away a $25 credit towards anything in the shop as well as FREE shipping! 


Here's how YOU can win!
  • Visit HomeStudio, then leave a comment here with what you would choose.  one entry
  • "LIKE" HomeStudio on Facebook, then leave me a comment telling me you did so. one entry
  • Become a follower and leave a comment telling me you did so. (If you already are, just leave a comment saying you are.) one entry
  • Visit two other links and leave them some comment love, then leave me a comment telling me you did. one entry
  • Link up your projects below. each link = one entry
*UPDATE: Winner has been announced*
Alright time for the link party! Here are some things to keep in mind...

  • I welcome scrapbook pages, DIY projects, recipes, a thrifty find, an awesome picture you've taken, sewing projects, handmade cards or other paper craft stuff,... Whatever you got! As long as you made it.
  • Please, no ETSY links or other pages where you're selling something.
  • Link back to Between U & Me somewhere on your blog. It makes me smile.
