If you missed my Black Mountain Jewelry Mother’s Day giveaway then you missed a good one. Carla and Mark of Black Mountain Jewelry were so touched by the comments in the entries that they asked if they could sponsor a Best Friends Day giveaway. I know that they are a small company that puts a lot of time, work and love into making their beautiful jewelry so of course I said yes.
A quick recap on Black Mountain Jewelry for my new visitors. Black Mountain Jewelry makes hand made custom jewelry. They are committed to Fair Trade, responsible sourcing, minimizing their environmental impact and supporting the local environment. They use recycled metals and Fair Trade gemstones in the creation of their unique jewelry.
In celebration of Best Friends Day, Black Mountain Jewelry has offered to present one of my readers with two of the Sonora Star Drop Necklace, one for the winner and one for their best friend.
More on the Sonora Star Drop Necklace – “Step back in time with this old-world collection of western-inspired jewelry. Both rugged and charming, like the West itself, the collection pays tribute to the characters and places of the Old West. Our charms are influenced by Delicate Desert Plants, Antique Native American Stampings and Barbwire.”
These unique pieces would make a terrific gift for a friend or loved one for Best Friends Day or any other occasion.
WIN IT!
One winner will receive custom made matching Sonora Star Drop Necklaces. The winner will choose the charm and color and the necklaces will be custom made for them. The two necklaces will be shipped to the winner at no charge anywhere in the US. The minimum value of this prize with the chain is $150 ($75 for each necklace).
If you can’t wait to find out if you win it or simply must have it now, Mark and Carla of Black Mountain Jewelry Company are generously offering all of my readers free shipping on any order placed by 06/30/09 – just need to enter FS306 on your order form.

I have known my best friend, Susan, for about six years now. I returned to work when my kids were about 3 and 4 and that is where we met. We both are single parents and though we don't have lots of free time, we do a lot of talking about our kids and share a lot in common. We try to go out also at least once a year, so that should tell you how busy life makes you when you become a mother. LOL. My dad passed away this year and not only did she come to my father's visitation but she also brought some former co-workers of mine as well. Thank you, Susan, for being there through thick and thin. Also please enter me for this contest. I think the jewelry is very beautiful and would love to try some out. Thank you!!

Oops--my bonus entry is before my mandatory entry--sorry! I have been best friends with my husband since we were in high school--about 13 years! Wow, I feel old now...anyway, I value his friendship because even though we don't always agree on things, we still manage to work stuff out. We understand how important compromise and honesty are to our relationship. that being said, I doubt that he would like wearing matching jewelry with me, so I'll tell you about my second best friend, my sister. She's more like my mom than my sister, and I don't know what I'd do without her. She helps me see past my stubborn nature and reminds to be NICE. We vent to each other in tough times, and we rejoice with each other in good times. We drive each other crazy from time to time, but we love each other enough that it doesn't matter. I love both of my best friends dearly!
