Giveaway Week - Hot Pink Chick

Today's giveaway item comes from Hot Pink Chick. Bonnie, the shop owner, creates jewelry and hair accessories that possess both a modern simplicity and vintage, romantic style. The results are pieces that are elegant enough for a bride, but hip enough to pair with jeans.

Hot Pink Chick is graciously offering a rose flower cabochon in your choice of pink, teal or lilac, nestled in a round brass engraved locket. The locket dangles from an antiqued brass chain and closes with a lobster clasp.

Materials: brass etched locket, flower cabochon, antiqued brass chain, lobster clasp
Dimensions: chain measures 20", locket is 1-1/4"
Retail value: $24.50

I asked Bonnie to share a bit about her life and work in a quick interview. Details on how to enter the giveaway follow the interview.

Tell us a little bit about yourself: 
My name is Bonnie. I am a wife, mother, dog lover and jewelry designer living in Temple, PA. I'm also an avid reader, music lover and reality television junkie who likes to laugh as loud and as often as possible.

And a little about the items you sell: 
I design and sell floral jewelry and accessories for brides, bridesmaids, or the everyday woman. My inspiration comes from all the beauty found in nature. My artistic style is simple yet sophisticated. I am a big fan of clean lines, bold color and understated elegance. You will find that my designs encompass these elements. I believe that sometimes less is more.

What is your creative process and environment like? (for example: Are you a rigid planner or do you wing it? Do you work to music or silence? Messy or neat?)
My studio is usually very neat and organized. I always have either the tv on or music playing. I try to stick to a schedule, but with a 24 hour store it's not always possible.

When you're not creating, what do you do? Read, walk, spend time with my family and play with my dog.

Quick! What is your favorite: 
Cookie: white chocolate chip macadamia nut
Sappy love song: Tonight I Wanna Cry - Keith Urban
T-shirt: the blue one with a peace sign that's all worn and faded
Nail polish color: burgundy
Vegetable: broccoli
