HOMAKO + GIVEAWAY [CLOSED]

posted on: March 22, 2011



Yoko (from HOMAKO) has just returned to LA from Japan, where she is originally from. She experienced the earthquake first hand and witnessed the massive destruction and devastation it has caused. Her family and close friends are still there and she is raising money through her shop to send to the American Red Cross. For more information and details click here.

She is kindly offering her most popular necklace, the Kaleidoscope Felt Collage Necklace (check out my bestie wearing it!) to one very lucky I ART U reader. To enter, "Heart"/favorite HOMAKO on etsy, then leave a comment on this post with your favorite item from the shop.
She is also offering  free domestic shipping during the duration of this giveaway. Enter "HEARTJAPAN" in the coupon redeem box when checking out. And, if you buy a piece from HOMAKO, comment on this post letting me know and you will receive an extra entry. Giveaway ends March 29.

    i have been a fan of this shop for some time and would love to own a necklace from it. i'm sorry to read that yoko and her family were in japan when the earthquake hit but i'm glad she's safe.
    my favorite piece in her shop is probably the felt ball necklace, but all of her stuff is really pretty so it's hard to choose.

    Fuwa Bow Necklace A with Brown Rope
    This one is my favourite. I have been a follower of homako for a while via flickr. I really love all her bits an pieces. I can't heart her On etsy at the mo because I am on my iPhone, but I will definitely do later ( actually I am pretty sure I already heart her shop)
    Please please please can I win because we are always way too poor to be able to afford something pretty from etsy. So it would be really special to have such a beautiful treat. thankyou for entering me, love holly blues xx
