*CLOSED* Bloem & Grow {Review & Giveaway}

I love unique jewelry.  I love wearing something that catches peoples eye.  However, since becoming a mommy I very rarely wear anything other than a small pair of earrings thanks to grabbing baby & toddler hands.  So, I miss wearing fun things.  Lucky for me, I found Bloem & Grow.

I cannot even tell you how excited I was to be sent a custom scrabble tile necklace from Kate.  One charm simply has the initial "L" on it and the other has an awesome picture of Mister Man from a few months ago (I don't normally share pics of my kids on SS&S, but for this I am making an exception).

How stinkin' cute is that!?!?  I L-O-V-E love the charm of Mister Man!  The very first day I got it, I wore it to therapy and had a few people ask me where I got it from (since I rarely get out of the house without kids, I tend to see if people have opinions while I'm at physical therapy).  I love how durable the charms are.  Since they are made on wooden scrabble tiles, even if Mister Man would grab my necklace & chew on it (which I wouldn't recommend since it is small) he's not going to break it...maybe just put a few teeth marks into it.

The chain is a ball chain (not sure of its real name) and is also very sturdy.  I asked my sister to help me brain storm other ways to wear the charms and here's a few we came up with:

• Wear it as a pin on your coat by attaching it with a cute pin.
• Use a small sheer ribbon to wear it as a choker.
• Use a few quick stitches to attach it to a hair bow (Girlie loved this idea and wanted to wear Mister Man in her hair, but I just didn't get to try it).
• Wear one as a single charm on a bracelet.

I'm sure there are lots of ways to wear these charms, but for now I'm sticking with them as a necklace.  Bloem & Grow doesn't just do necklaces though.   Kate makes lots of amazing things like these number magnets.

She also makes adorable blocks, custom clothes pins, magnetic boards and more! (Blogger wouldn't let me upload the pics :o( but you can see them on her blog!)

So now that you really want your own necklace, you can go here to get one OR you can win one!
