Love the new wooden brooches and necklaces that British jewelry designer Joanna Rutter (featured previously) has in her Etsy shop. In fact, all the items in her store is a personal favorite – they’re modern, refreshingly simple and girly without being overly cute (something that’s easier said than done!)

Contemporary folk artist Suzanne Urban combines illustrations and paintings with witty musings to create badges, pins, prints and original paintings; all of which are available for sale in her Etsy shop. No stranger to the art world, Suzanne already has an extensive portfolio of work in newspapers, greeting card companies, corporate graphic departments and publishing empires!

To spread some joy around, Suzanne is giving away a set of three badges (one was painted with coffee!) and a 5“x7” print with added collage wording and color worth USD$35.

Just leave a comment in this post (and feel free to share a joke or two) to be in the running! We’ll pick out a random winner after the 17th of January.
The giveaway has ended and the winner has been picked by random.org – bonbon! 🙂 Thanks everyone for joining in!
