Spring has finally sprung (at least for us northern hemisphere people…it’s our turn now, Australia) and I am ready to wear skirts & sandals & that yellow bag I bought in January & to pull out all my pretty springy jewelry pieces. I bet you are too and I’ve got just the thing for you this Monday morning…a giveaway! You could win a winner’s choice Foliage Necklace from Blend Creations.

I like the Metal for Monsters collection, which feature artist designed monster pendants with part of the proceeds going to UNICEF, as well as the Brazilian Marble Paper pendants.

I love the orange Queen Anne’s Lace, it reminds me of blowing dandelion fluff which was one of my favorite things to do in spring when I was little. Soooo pretty.
The metal for monsters is awesome too ^.^
Wow. These are just stunning! I love that you can have your own art, or your child’s art, made into a pendant.
My favorite necklace is the Viola. It is similar to a Pansy with is my favorite flower. They have sweet little faces that lift to the sun. They are hardy and sturdy but also dainty and soft. And pansies are the flower of my sorority. Enjoy the day! Erin

The blue hydrangea is my favorite. The color is striking and compliments the silver frame beautifully.
These are great!
I love the “pale blue hydreagea,” despite the fact that the flower represents heartlessness.
I love the pink Queen’s Anne’s Lace necklace. so pretty!
The “pale blue hydrangea” is my favorite flower! It’s such a cheerful and beautiful flower.
I love the Orange Queen Anne’s Lac because it’s so cheerful and bright! I think it would be my little personal sunshine even in cloudy days
Purple hydrangea for sure: we had those in the floral arrangements at our wedding.
My fav is “pink Queen Anne’s lace”. I just love color pink and it perfectly matches with my skintone.
My favorite is the pink Queen Anne’s Lace… reminds me of the drive to my family’s farm.
I’m a huge fan of the red tulips. I love anything tulip because they were the flowers my husband gave me on our first date. I integrated them into our wedding too! Plus, who doesn’t love the flower that signifies the first of spring!
They’re all so beautiful! I love the idea of capturing the fleeting beauty of flowers in something that will last so much longer. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the pink Queen Anne’s Lace.
I can’t chose between the delphinium and the blue hydrangea necklaces. The colors are stunning. Gorgeous giveaway:)
They are all so beautiful! My personal favorite is the “pale blue hydrangea” necklace. I planted my first hydrangea bush in the back yard this past fall and I’ve been patiently waiting through winter and spring for the blooms to arrive this summer. Maybe a little impatiently waiting (now) because this necklaces just makes me want to see those blue blossoms in person.
I love the colors of the Round “pale blue hydrangea” necklace. So pretty!
I love the blue hydrangea necklace – what a brilliant shade and beautiful pendant. Thanks

rebekah:-)
it’s really hard to pick just one! i think i’ll have to go with the purple hydrangea because it’s one of the flowers i had in my wedding!
The Round “pink Queen Anne’s lace” foliage necklace is my favorite because I think it is the coolest! Doesn’t have a floriography meaning as far as I can find though
i love the simplicity of the necklaces. my favorite is the blue hydrangea. the colors remind me of earth, but they are all beautiful!
My favorite is the white violet necklace! It’s lovely. Thanks,
Heather
I love the pale blue hydrangea because my gran always had them in her kitchen.
love them all but the yellow flower.. sorry I can’t say for sure what it is.. catches my eye though a close second is the purple hydrangea..
I love the coral bells. I love to paint, and flowers are one of my favorite subjects because of their colors, especially these colors!
These flower necklaces are so beautiful! They remind me of the time I wanted to get into pressed flowers. I think I must have been about 14 or 15 years old. I asked my very handy grandfather to make me a flower press. I designed it and told him exactly how I wanted it, but I guess I was too strict about the requirements and he never built it! That taught about taking in suggestions from others, especially if I don’t know anything about the subject!
Round “burgundy hydrangea” necklace is my favorite 100%! I love the color of the flower and I simply find it amazingly beautiful!
Wow, those are super pretty necklaces. I love the blue hydrangea, that colour is stunningly beautiful, Like the pale blue of spring skies….
I love all the hydrangeas. They’ve always been one of my FAVORITE flowers.
i love the delphinium. the color is so vibrant!
I love he Swirl Viola necklace. I found out recently as I was looking up my genealogy, that my great-grandmother’s name was Viola Hawkins. It was a lovely discovery since Violas are one of my favorite flowers, and no one had ever told me about this woman. I imagine her spirit as bright as the yellow center of this gorgeous piece.
Love the Pink Queen Anne’s Lace. It’s so vibrant and just perfect for summer.
I like the orange queen’s anne lace. It remind me of my sister who loves the color orange. plus the flower is fun and unique like her.

I love the pale blue hydrangea necklace. Our house is surrounded by these flowers and they mean a lot to me. Very beautiful
Ooh so pretty! My favorite is the Swirl Viola with the little yellow flower. My favorite color is yellow because it just makes me happy to see it and I really like how the petals looks almost transparent.
My favorite is the Round “orange Queen Anne’s lace” foliage necklace. I’ve always loved Queen Anne’s lace and would make bouquets of it for my mother.
I love the round “purple viola” foliage necklace. Purple is my daughter’s favorite color and yellow is mine. The petal look so delicate and remind me of my daughter.
It was hard to pick but I’ve got to go with the pink Queen Anne’s. It looks as if they’re growing from one section to take over the entire frame. It’s wonderful.
normally, I’d go for anything purple, but for some reason the slightly off-center bright blue hydrangea really strikes me. What an amazing concept! Thanks for the opportunity…
I love the blue hydrangea, they’re some of my favorite flowers because you can make them that way!
I do not think I’m especially frigid or heartless. maybe a little bit ;]

I really like the geranium leaf one, because it’s not a simple flower, it’s something a little bit different.

A lovely shop! I like them all but my favorite is the pink Queen Anne’s Lace- the image is so soft and beautiful.
Love the Blue Hydrangea. That blue is very eye catching.
I absolutely adore the Round “pink Queen Anne’s lace” foliage necklace. It reminds me of an old silk fan that my great grandmother used to have on her vanity. Simply beautiful!
They are all so beautiful in their own right…
For me though, the “purple viola” brings back memories of watering African Violets when I was younger.
A stunning line of jewellery.
Cheers,
Tasha
I really love the purple hydrangea, mostly because I love purple. They’re all gorgeous!!
The orange Queen Anne’s Lace is just beautiful. Definitely my favorite (with about 5 others in a close second)
So many nice necklaces! Round “pale blue hydrangea” necklace would be my pick. I like the color and it looks really elegant.
Although they are all beautiful, my favorite would have to be the pale blue hydrangea. It’s a beautiful flower and a beautiful color. i would love this necklace to give my outfit a spring flair.
tough decision, but if i have to pick one, the pale blue hydrangea looks the prettiest. it reminds me of pressed fairie wings from lady cottington’s lovely paintings.
I love the http://blendcreations.com/item.php?item_id=281&category_id=31 blue Hydrangea necklace. It’s a gorgeous color (one of my favorite) and also one of the flowers I love most. Thanks for this great giveaway!

I love the blue lobelia, grow those in my garden!
The pansy means the most to me. It’s the flower I remember most from my parents’ house and the one they give me most often. I love how strong and subtle they are at once!
i adore the pale blue hydrangea because it’s the most diaphanous and brings the subtly of spring.
I love the Blue Lobelia necklace. That’s my mother’s favorite flower!
I am definitely partial to the Queen Anne’s Lace, but the Violas are just so wonderful. Both the purple and yellow, which are gracing my patio right now – everywhere!

as a botany student all these necklaces have a speacial meaning for me, I did my honours on flowers! but I finally decided on round “red hydrangea” necklace because red is my favourite colour and it is particularly gorgeous.
Wow! Ran across this site today via another design site and absolutely amazed! Such lovely things.
I adore the Queen Anne’s Lace piece. Such femininity found in this light flower and the pink is the perfect pop of color!
Thanks for sharing
pink queen anne’s lace – the picture is well cropped and it just an interesting design between color and composition
The blue hydrangea caught me attention straight away. It’s my favorite for two reasons: love the vibrant color-matches my personality and because the hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers. I always tell my husband that when we buy a home of our own I’d love to plant a hydrangea bush in our backyard. So in a way this necklace would remind me of that wish.
I love, love, love the blue Hydrangea! I don’t have a green thumb, my garden certainly attests to that. However, being the city gal that I am – I know that spring has sprung when I see the potted hydrangeas at the local grocery store and I always buy a blue one.

I covet the swirl viola foliage necklace, which evokes thoughts of my grandmother Viola.
wow, these are lovely. I am mesmerized by the brilliant blue color (which is my fave color btw) of the Round “blue hydrangea” necklace. It would go perfectly with most things I own, and be casual enough to wear to work, yet dressy enough to wear for an evening out.

i love the Round “orange Queen Anne’s lace” foliage necklace. I think it is beautiful and reminds me of all the bright flowers in our back yard when i was a little girl
I love how the pressed flowers show off the intersection of the precision of geometry and symmetry and the uniqueness of all living/growing things. They’re all fantastic (but my faves are still queen anne’s lace and germanium leaf…)
They are all so beautiful! My favorite, though, is the hydrangea. There is just something about that flower that just makes my heart happy!
The pink Queen Anne’s Lace is my favorite. The color is so vibrant and love that the flower is offset. There’s more visual interest because of those two things.
Blue hydrangea–reminds me of summer on Cape Cod!
I love the Geranium Leaf necklace so much that I wore it at my wedding!
I adore the blue hydrangea necklace – the colour is beautiful.. and it’s one of my favorite flowers.
I love the orange Queen Anne’s lace most. It is a tough choice though, over the pink version. In the end, I have to say orange because I love how modern it looks in an old fashioned way! Gorgeous!
Oh, these are lovely! My fave is the delphinium – which was one of my wedding flowers oh so many years ago!
I love the geranium leaf – it looks ’strong’ to me, symbolizing strength which I’ve needed a lot of in the past 18 months since my kidney cancer diagnosis. I think it’s a beautiful necklace.
I really love the “Blue hydrangea”. It remainds me my brother´s blue eyes.

I like all of them but I love the pink Queen Anne’s lace the most because pink is my favorite colour & it looks like a perfect starburst.
I really love the Queen Anne’s Lace! Queen Anne’s Lace symbolizes magic, trust, healing, and steadfast love…all traits that I would not want to live without. The necklace would be a great reminder of the things that I have overcome this year and those who stood by me
The purple lobelia because it brings memories of a special teacher.
The purple viola reminds me of all the flowers I’ve planted with my mom and our favorite in the spring plantings is the violas. Lovely!
