Designer Lee Dorsey is a busy lady: she’s a public school French teacher in New Jersey by day and a self-taught jewelry designer by night. She crafts earrings, necklaces, brooches and “corsage cuffs” and donates a portion of each item sold in her shop, Color Me Conscious, to charity.
For January and February, she’s designed what she calls her “RED” collection, and she will be donating to The American Heart Association for the sales of these items, since red is the official color of heart disease awareness and prevention. Lee has generously offered to do a giveaway of one of my favorite pieces from her RED collection, this Memoirs Of A Geisha Bracelet:
This gorgeous corsage cuff features a hand sewn fabric flower, an ivory Swarovski pearl at center, and a fully adjustable cuff. This bracelet could be yours! All you need to do is visit the Color Me Conscious Etsy shop and comment on this post with a link to your favorite piece in the shop.
The deadline for all entries is midnight on Friday, January 22, 2010 (Central Standard Time – go here to figure out what time that is where you are). This particular giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. Be sure to use a valid e-mail address when you post your comment, because I’ll be e-mailing the randomly chosen winner to let you know you’ve won!
