$25 gift certificate giveaway right here, right now!

Remember a few weeks ago when my blog went through a mid-year crisis, changed its look, started sponsorship, and I had a giveaway for it? 🙂 Well today I am soooo happy to show off the winner of my sponsorship giveaway, junghwa by amy stewart! Her shop is famous for her rope bracelets, she also sells other accessories, drawstring bags for gift giving, and really just all things pretty for you! She also has a BEAUTIFUL blog where she’s won a ton of awards, posts about fashion and her life and I couldn’t be more happier for her that she’s so close to giving birth to her very first baby! Can’t wait to see those adorable baby pics!

See?? Isn’t her shop sooo lovely?  Let’s get to know her a little bit better…

{MEET THE ARTIST}

1) What inspired you to start your shop?

My sister inspired me to open my own shop. She had opened her Twigs & Honey shop several years ago and knew that I loved designing and creating.  Wanting to work from home also gave me the last push I needed to finally start it up.

2) Where do you draw inspiration from?

I think about things that I would enjoy wearing or using and I go from there. I’ll modify it to better suit public wants. Sometimes I’ll get ideas as I’m drifting off to sleep at night. I put the ideas into my Blackberry before I forget.

3) What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

I’m lactose intolerant so I can’t eat ice cream like I used to, but back in the day when I could eat dairy all day, my favorite was/is Baskin Robbins peanut butter & chocolate. So good!

4) What is your favorite travel spot and why?

My husband and I don’t get to travel much these days because of his work schedule, but we really enjoyed southern California. We drove through Solvang and went wine tasting after a fun week of surfing by Manhatten Beach and roller coasters at Magic Mountain. Good times.
