  1. I wear most of my jewelry all the time, I have my wedding band and I wear my engagement ring on the right hand, I have a magnetic bracelet I just got and a necklace that I have been wearing for years. I feel naked if I ever leave the house without those, but they don’t get taken off very often! I do love to switch out earrings and add a necklace to the mix, so I would love to win this giveaway. That watch looks adorable! Thanks for the giveaway!

  4. Tweet tweet, who is there?
    I am, I came to follow you. :)

    My favorite-don’t-leave-the-house-without-it accessory (well, more – jewelry piece) is my big silver ring I got from my best friend.

  5. My staple jewelry piece is the diamond studs my husband bought for me when we were dating (18 years ago). I never take them out!

  7. I am already an email follower! I love you tutorials and these are amazing pieces of jewelry- thanks for the chance to win.

  8. I never leave the house without my wedding set and watch. I feel absolutely naked without them on and can’t stand not having a watch- I think sometimes I am too focused on time.

  9. I can’t leave the house without earrings. I feel naked!! But the earrings might be trumped by my watch. I’m completely lost without it. I always forget that my phone will tell me what time it is!

  12. What a lovely bunch of stuff your are giving away…esp the ombre earrings and the embroidered pendant…My most worn accessory is a copper and brass cuff I bought in college, I wear it on most days to work. But I dont leave the house without wearing earrings that match with my mood and my clothes

  14. My can’t leave the house item is my wedding ring. I don’t wear it if I’m doing things around the house so, when I leave, my husband laughs when I go back for my ring. I’ve been doing this for 22 years now so he’s used to it!
    Thanks for offering the gorgeous items! Adore the earrings!
    [email protected]

  15. I never leave home without my “engagement” ring: we’re not really engaged (no set date, so far…), but my Honey offered it to me for our first Xmas together, and apart from the symbol, this very light aquamarine & (tiny) diamonds ring goes with absolutely everything!
    Hopefully, it will be matched by lovely jewellery made by you Bev…
    Thanks for the chance

  18. I don’t leave the house without a scarf or pashmina, even in the summertime. They are perfect to fold up in your purse and are great for those cold movie theaters and/or restaurants. Love them! I’m addicted.

  19. I never leave home without rings! I love wearing rings, one of my favorite accessories!
    dramallama56(at)hotmail(dot)com

  21. Of course my wedding ring .. but second is my Custom hand stamped necklace with my kids names and birth stones .. then third is my Pandora Bracelet

    Hugs

  23. Usually it is ear rings, but lately it is a blue bracelet, I wear it in honor of my little brother who was hit by a car and died. Makes me happy to look at it.

  24. My wedding ring is my definitely don’t leave the house without accessory, but right behind that would be my “Love is” necklace with hubby and my first initials

  25. Well, my rings (6 of them) never leave my fingers and my heirloom studs rarely leave my ears. The studs traveled from Cuba to the USA and were my grandmother’s, mother’s, sister’s, and my first set of earrings so I’m terrified I’ll lose them if I take them off for too long! And each of my rings come from places where I’ve left my heart so they remind me of love and happiness I’ve had in 6 different places!

  27. my can’t leave home without it is my chapstick which i call “lippy” i am seriously addicted to it and apply it about 20 times a day. yes, i said 20. also, i found your blog on last year’s giveaway day and i just wanted to let you know that it’s one of my favorites! your tutorials are wonderful!

  28. i’ve been following you for 1 year and it’s the best email subscription i’ve made!!

  32. Nail polish. Does that count as an accessory? If not, it would be the necklace my dad brought me back from Turkey. It is a cartouche with my name. He brought one back for everyone in the family and mine is the only one left

  40. Well Definatley my wedding rings as well But I also have a Heart pendant my hubby bought… I gives me such comfort…

  42. I love these!! My don’t leave the house without it accessory is definitely earrings. I feel naked without them. I can go without other jewelry or accessories and feel ok, but no earrings is like forgetting my underwear. :-)

  47. I always wear my Brighton bracelet that a dear friend and former neighbor gave me to me. It is beautiful and it reminds me of her when I put it on.

  48. I have a set of things I always wear when I leave the house! The same three rings (boring, I know – sometimes I add a couple, but the three always stay the same!), one of two necklaces (because I don’t have any others I like at the moment… I love your embroidered one though!), my watch and some kind of dangly earrings.

  50. My favorite accessory is my watch. My wrist feels funny if I don’t have it on!

  52. I never leave the house without earings! Love silver, whimsical, and ethnic styles! Would love a tutorial on how to make the painted metal filigree earings, beautiful!

  53. What lovely pieces!

    I always have to have earrings in when I leave the house. Sometimes it’s as simple as a set of silver hoops, but I have to have something!

  54. Does chap stick count as an accessory? Besides that I always wear my wedding ring and usually earrings. Thanks for the chance to win!

  55. My dad replaced the diamond on my mom’s engagement ring a few years ago, and they made a pendant of it, and gave it to me as a necklace. I wear it all the time. Thank you so much for your offer!

  57. I am a follower, and I thank you so much for tutorials! You make it look so easy, I might just try my hand at the art of jewelry-making.

  63. I can’t leave the house without my jewelry. I have so much jewelry my friends call me “Foo Foo”. Just have to have it and I am coveting yours!!! Your work is always special. I especially like the watch.

    I follow you on RSS and email. (Well you never know where I will be!) Now I will look on Twitter!! lol

  64. I always, always wear a necklace – usually a locket my husband got me, but always something. But, I’m a big fan of scarves too, if I can work one into an outfit, I will!

  76. What is your favorite-don’t-leave-the-house-without-it accessory? – my fav-do-not-leave-home-without-it would be my jewelry.

  77. okay seriously lovely, esp that embroidered pendant… my favorite accessory is Baby Boy, I wear him in my moby wrap everywhere! He hids all my flaws and is not only a great arm candy, but a great date as well!

  85. I don’t leave the house without my phone case – complete with phone, licence, and essential cards! My husband made me the perfect leather case and it’s not only gorgeous, but it’s super functional!

  88. I’m kinda boring, I don’t leave the house without my watch. If I’m not working I will occasionally wear my mother’s necklace, it’s silver with the names of my kids on it. :)

  93. I never take off my wedding ring, my open heart key necklace and diamond earrings,

  100. I never leave my house without hand cream. I use my hands a lot, I like them to look their best.

  101. My wedding band is the only peice of jewelry I own that I can stand. Sad I know. I just would rather buy fabric than jewelry lol

  102. I can’t leave the house without earrings. I usually wear my diamond studs but I feel naked without something in my ears.

  106. I usually can’t leave home without earings, but for some reason I have an aversion to them while I’m pregnant. So, right now it’s just my wedding band and my watch. But I can’t wait to have this baby and start wearing jewelry again.

  108. ooh I love that watch. Ummm, I have a cute bracelet that goes with pretty much everything so I don’t leave home without it

  111. My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding band. Second would be the beaded stretchy bracelet my 3-yr-old son made me for mother’s day this year. Can’t leave home without them both! When I have the time, I love to accessorize with earrings, bracelets and whatever else feels good that day!

  113. I always wear my earrings. I feel like something is missing if I don’t have a pair on. Love the ones you made. Thanks for the giveaway.

  115. I think my only don’t leave home without it accessory are my wedding rings. When i am all accoessorized, it’s a fancy day for me. I have a lot of classic, bland pieces of *good jewelry* but not a lot of fun, casual stuff to throw on with jeans. I mean, I have a diamond solitaire, but it isn’t really necessary when running to wal-mart. RIght? These pieces would be fun to play with for every day wear. :)

  117. I have a 5-point check when I walk out the door….earrings! …purse, glasses, keys, phone. I am a widow and live alone so all those things are Important!!!

  118. I also can’t leave home without earrings. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I often forget to put on my wedding and other rings after having them off for crafting or gardening or whatever, but I feel naked without my earrings!

  120. I am now following via RSS. You have some great tutorials. How have I missed them before?

  121. I can’t leave my house without earring and especially earrings that have feathers on them!

  124. Can’t leave without my handwarmers somewhere about me – they’re so small, but handy if I end up somewhere unexpectedly chilly.

  126. I used to not be able to leave my house without a few large rings on my fingers and earrings in my ears….but then I got pregnant with my first baby and had swelling issues and couldn’t wear my rings, then the baby came and would pull on my earrings. I completely got out of the habit of putting on my much loved accessories and now I am lucky if I remember to put on my wedding ring!! It is definitely time to break out my beloved rings and earrings again.

  128. I have a great necklace that has three strings of different sized pearls. It goes with everything!

  132. I’ve been wearing a gold ankh necklace for almost 30 years now and I think of it as my good luck charm!

  133. I can’t leave the house without earrings – I feel naked without any on!!

  135. I always need to wear a necklace – and I LOVE yours!! You’re very talented and generous. Thanks for the chance!

  136. I never leave the house without my wedding ring! Also, I almost always have my running watch. :) I’m not a super fashionable person, but man, this jewelry might change that! I love your stuff – it’s really gorgeous!!

  137. uhhh, well, i carry my purse. and i definitely need my glasses. does deodorant count as an accessory?????

  140. I never leave home without my wedding ring on and a purse. I just love this assortment, Bev. Thanks for letting us try for the giveaway.

  141. Great giveaway, Bev! I can’t leave home without my shades! Thanks for the chance!

  145. Look at all this yummy jewelry!!!!! AHHHH!!!! I HAVE TO WIN. Ok my one never leave the house accessory would be earrings. Even on your funky-not-so-cute days, earrings always help a girl out. ;)

  147. I cannot leave home without my sunglasses (prescription) even on a cloudy day.

  149. favorite accessory is the heart charm hanging from my cell-phone strap! beautfiul things you have to give away. thanks for the opportunity and have a great day

  151. Oh I am SO excited you are participating, you know I love your stuff and even though you post the best tutorials on the web, I haven’t made anything yet due to my poor health. I would LOVE the chance to win your swag because it is the best!! Okay, my favorite accessory that I can’t leave the house with is probably earrings. I feel like they complete my outfit, whether casual or dressy and add something to my look.

    Thanks,
    Maureen

  154. Always have a necklace on – whether it’s chunky or a simple chain…

  156. I always have earrings on, even if they are small diamond studs, because my holes will grow back if I don’t. Even after 20 years, can you believe it?

  162. Hi Bev!
    For the past little while, my must-wear accessory is my Johnny Cash silhouette necklace that I bought from Fable & Fury on Etsy. Of course my newest necklace is always my favorite one, until I spot one of my older ones and it becomes my fave again! LOL

  164. I follow you on Twitter too. I really need to tweet more often. I am one lazy bird!

  166. I don’t leave the house without some dangly earrings. I like my eos lip balm too though.

  170. These pieces are beautiful – thank you for the chance to win! I guess the only accessory I never leave home with is my sunglasses!

  174. I never leave the house without a pair of earrings on. I really feel like I’m not ready to greet the world without them!! Be blessed, Kathy

  175. I’ve been a very devoted Flamingo Toes follower for some time! Be blessed, Kathy

  176. I feel naked if I forget to put on my wedding ring and a ring my mechanical husband made me in his college machine shop class before we were even dating. It’s no fashion piece, but it reminds me of the beginning of our life together. :) This jewelry collection is lovely, btw.

  179. sadly…I can’t leave the house without a pair of reading glasses, because I might have to actually read something somewhere (like a price that I can’t see)…I’ve also become fond of a couple of big watches I got on bigtime sale, and wear alot now. They have nice big numbers too, so I don’t have to put on my glasses to see them LOL

  184. Lip balm. I hate dry cracked lips. I would rather leave my phone than leave my lip balm.

  188. I never leave the house without my weddi g ring of course but I have to wear earrings as a watch or I feel naked :)

  195. your jewelry is wonderful.
    i wear a medic alert bracelet. it has a plain silver chain for my wrist. last year i changed it to different beads and colors. i wouldnt leave home with out it. now i am fashionable.

  196. I have a simple silver band engraved with the word “FAITH” that I have worn for over twelve years! No matter what other rings I wear that one stays put!

  198. I also follow you by email and my dream is to someday win the awesome accessories you create! I have followed your tutorials though and love them!

  204. I never take off my wedding rings (one of which is a 1930s platinum engagement ring belonging to the woman I am named after — my mother’s 9th grade English teacher) and the new rings that I wear on my right hand, which belonged to my mother who was rendered brain dead in front of me on Mother’s Day 2011 at age 64 from a rare autoimmune disease and died on May 17, 2011. I try to wear other pieces of her jewelry wherever I go, too, to remind me of her.

    Handcrafted items of my own that I wear everywhere are typically fabric flower rosette ponytail holders and various handmade earrings.

    Amy

  205. My don’t-leave-the-house-without-it accessory definitely is the wristwatch and a couple of rings I love (a simple, metal one and another made of little beads :D )!
    Awesome stuff you chose for this giveaway <3 Thanks!

  211. Most of the time I try not to leave the house without my go to pair of silver earrings or a ring, but depending on what I’m wearing sometimes that “go-to” is a trusty bracelet. So I guess it varies with my outfit!

  212. I would have said my wedding ring but it’s been broken for two years! =( I would never leave the house without a pair of earrings or necklace. Thanks for all your fun tutorials! I LOVE all of your wonderful designs!

  213. I always wear my wedding and engagement rings, and usually a funky bracelet or earrings- both if its a special event. I love your giveaways! Thanks so much for the opportunity!

  214. What great projects & jewellery you have! :-)

    My favorite-don’t-leave-the-house-without-it accessory is my handbag, I love bags :-)

  215. I always have on my wedding ring — even in the shower. I usually leave my earring studs in too (like the ones they were pierced with). Other than that, not much!

  219. Wedding ring and a hairband! My hair is super long and I almost always get so hot that I have to put it up!

  223. I can’t leave home without my “main” earrings. I have piercings I don’t change, but I always change the bottom hole with different earrings every day.

  225. I’d say the one thing I don’t leave the house without would be my wedding rings and also a 2nd wedding ring ‘set’. the 2nd set is a matched set now but the band which has a row of channel set diamonds was a gift from my husband on our 1st wedding anniversary. Then I was given my Mother’s Diamond ring when she died and the setting had been broken for years so hubby had that set into another ring. The jewelry store my 1st anniversary band came from had an engagement ring setting that had just come in for a couple who had ordered it for their wedding which was not for about six months. Our jeweler called them to see if he could sell it to another customer (US) and reorder a new one for them. They were nice enough to say yes so he reset my Mom’s diamond into that setting. Now I wear two complete wedding sets side by side on the same hand. My Mom’s diamond was too large for any of the settings they had in the store in our price range other than the one they’d just gotten in on the special order for that other couple and bonus, it matched the band hubby had just bought me so that’s why the jeweler pulled it out in the first place.

  226. I am already a follower of your blog via RSS, and email as well as facebook Bev.

    I LOVE this giveaway. LOVE everything and a few of these will be given to my almost DIL because she would absolutely love them. So while I love everything, I’ll share with her since she’s awesome and loves me. :)

  227. I love jewelry, but the only thing I can’t live without is my wedding ring. it’s the only ring I wear, unless I am feeling bold and want some other rings on. I can’t leave the house without a pair of earrings on too. I feel officially “ready” when I have earrings on.

  228. I do not leave the house without my keys and my lipstick! I am paranoid about being locked out of my house or car, amd I feel naked without lip color. I almost always wear jewelry as well. I make quite a bit of it, amd I love Flamingo Toe’s Anthropologie knock-offs. Who can afford that store’s prices?

  229. I never leave the house without my purse or phone. I think I can actually do without the purse these days, but leaving the phone is a big no-no! Who knew that I would become so attached to my iPhone?! I love your jewelry, have made several pieces. The watch has been on my “to do” list forever! I would be so happy to win it! But if not I know I can make it!

  233. The one thing I always have with me when I leave home is my watch. What a lovely giveaway!

  235. my favorite accessory would have to be a necklace I can’t stand not wearing necklaces with anything.

  239. My favorite accessory is my Fossil Watch with crystals and a rhinestone bracelet. I get so many compliments on the watch cause is sparkles like me:)

  241. I never leave the house without some type of sweater! I’m always cold:) Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

  245. I have become an email follower of Flamingo Toes! Thanks for the inspiration & tutorials!

  246. What is my favorite-don’t-leave-the-house-without-it accessory? My Shine necklace and a ponytail holder/bracelet!

  247. Earrings. Preferably big dangly ones. If I am out and realize they aren’t on I grab my earlobes and look around like I’m afraid someone just saw me naked.

  251. My must have accessory is a (big) purse is a fun color. My current fave is bright orange with a big bow wrapped around it! Love this giveaway…must…have…that…watch!

  253. I can never leave the house without a great pair of earrings and at least one ring. Thanks for the giveaway!
    kessilari(at)gmail(dot)com

  256. I don’t leave the house without earings and either a purse or something with pockets! With an infant, I’m always looking for places to shove things (pockets or purse work well!!!)

  258. I love your filigree earrings – they are very pretty. I never leave my house without a pair of earrings on- I don’t feel dressed without them. I often put some in when I am not going out- for just around my house.
    Thanks for participating in the blog hop. You make lovely things.
    Regards from Western Canada,
    Anna

  260. well, I always have my wedding ring on…does that count. I’m accessory challenged and need help! Hoping if I win these it will help!!

  261. I always wear my Multiple Myeloma bracelet in memory of my daddy who passed away from this cancer.

  269. My Giordano watch I’ve been wearing for the last 10 years and ring…feel incomplete if I leave the house without them

  289. I never leave without a purse of some kind. I feel naked if I just have my card and cash in my pocket.

  290. The filigree have a steampunk feel (which I really like) if not for the bright colors that are perfect for summer.

  294. Well, the obvious accessory I never leave home without is my wedding ring. I also always wear earings (and I love the ones you are giving away!). And I always have my cell phone with me. If I am missing any of those three things, I definitely feel like I’m missing something! Thank you for the chance to win!

  301. my glasses. Yes, I need them to see. BUT, I own several pair, b/c I figure if I gotta wear ’em might as well make ’em fun!

  302. I have a double strand beaded bracelet that I wear every day. It has my sons names and birthstones on them (one on each strand). I love it. Thanks for the giveaway. :)

  303. My shoes, yes I have left the house in a rush in the morning to go to work with my slippers on. Yikes.
    Thanks for the giveaway.
    Cid

  305. I am in love with that embroidered pendant! Heading to your tutorials page right now to see if you have one for it.
    My must-have accessory is my watch.

  308. I do not leave the house without a pair of earrings. My go-to earrings are a pair of silver hoops that instead of being cylindrical, are pounded flat. They go with absolutely everything.

  309. Lovely handmade earrings or funky bright coloured and/or floral bangles !:)

  311. I never leave the house without a necklace. Yours would make a great addition to my collection ;)

  312. my ear ring … but then I never take it out .. my glasses too (would get very far without them) – and always some sort of bag .. small, big, bagpack. saddle bag (for the bicycle.. )

  317. Umm.. Accessory I can’t leave the house without? My son? Haha! Honestly, that’s about it. I don’t need much else other then my keys and wallet!

  323. My only accessory that I always have on is my Wedding Ring. But that’s not even really an accessory in my book – it’s become part of me :)

  324. My “V” necklace. It’s just a simple V stamped into a heart, but the V stands for Veronica (my two-year old) and it makes me smile even if I’m at crappy work at the time.

  325. I always leave home wearing a statement necklace. I love mixing colors, bold baubles, etc.
    cynsaw2(at)yahoo(dot)ca
