Miss Bohemia ~ Howling At The Moon/Wolf Giveaway [CLOSED]

Howling At The Moon/Wolf Giveaway

As Amanda has kindly agreed to host this giveaway and because I am also a huge fan of paranormal/urban fantasy books, I thought it would be great to celebrate the launch of my new website ‘Miss Bohemia’ and my Facebook target of 300 fans, with a paranormal themed giveaway!

As an increasing amount of my time is taken up making jewellery and accessories, I don't get to read as much as I would like, but I do often check out Amanda's blog posts (and others) to check out the latest reviews and recommendations, and my book obsessed sister usually provides me with the newest paranormal romance/urban fantasy titles!

I have always loved reading supernatural books, especially ones about vampires, but today’s giveaway is all about those hot blooded shifters! While werewolves were often characterized as being one dimensional i.e. hot tempered, dim witted and totally out of control at times (especially during the change and the full moon), I have enjoyed the introduction of more complex, intelligent and sexy shifters like Alcide (Sookie Stackhouse Novels) and Jacob (Twilight), and also the strong female lead characters such as Elena (The Otherworld Series)! I also enjoy watching ‘True Blood’ (as a separate entity to the books) and the UK series ‘Being Human’!

As someone who is often described as being ‘darkly romantic’, my shop is a mix of gothic fantasy, fairytales and pieces inspired by the Victorian era etc. My wolf inspired pieces include an ‘I Heart Wolves’ Bag charm, a ‘Howling at the Moon’ Ring and my gothic favourites are my ‘Black Rose Filigree Ring’ and my ‘Decadently Dark Neo Victorian Rose Necklace’.

For this giveaway, I have created a Fire and Ice Bag charm to represent the ‘hot blood wolves’ and their nemeses (the cold as ice vampires) and a wolf/moon ‘sweet dreams’ Dream Catcher! I have also included one of my Moonlight’ rings in this paranormal themed prize pack! In conjunction with this fabulous giveaway, I invite you all to visit my shop as I am also offering ‘free worldwide shipping’ from today, until the 28^th November 2010, at my new online boutique ‘Miss Bohemia’!

“Good luck with the giveaway”

Blogmania Sponsor: Miss Bohemia

I first found Jen of Miss Bohemia through her Vampire Kisses shop on Etsy. Her jewelry has since become a regular feature on my Shop on Saturdays and she’s helped me out with a few other things too. She’s someone I always love talking to and through all of our twitter chats I’ve come to find that we have a freakish amount of stuff in common. Lol. Too bad we live an ocean apart. I absolutely adore a necklace that I got of hers and receive so many compliments on it.

 

Anyway, of course I asked her to be one of my sponsors for Blogmania. She has a variety of jewelry she makes, and now she even has her own website online with it’s own shop. Here are some of the pieces you can find at Miss Bohemia:

Gothic Black Vein Chandelier Chain Earrings

Steampunk Time Traveller Pocket Watch Necklace

 

Now are you excited to see what you can win during Blogmania? Well here are the two awesome prizes from Miss Bohemia!

A great vampire themed bagcharm/key ring featuring an “I
♥ Vampires” text & a great mini pic of fangs encased in a glass dome & set in a round silver setting. Also included are a pair of vampire fangs, silver plated bat, 'wish' charm, key, 'made with love' and leaf charms.
Also includes a mixture of red, black and clear beads including hearts, round beads and bicone shaped beads.
All hung on a silver plated apple shaped keyring charm.
Great gift for Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy fans alike!

The Mermaids' Song Oberon ~ Fantasy Necklace
The 'Mermaids' Song' comes from Carl Maria von Weber's popular Opera 'Oberon', and the mermaid image within the pendant has been reproduced from the 1866 vintage sheet music cover!
The beautiful but haunting mermaid image is held within a silver plated frame! Also attached is a darkened silver plated oyster and shell hung from a darkened silver plated chain measuring 18 inches.

Stop back by September 15th-16th for your chance to win these great prizes and many more!

 

Jen was kind enough to extend her FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING through the 19th of September at her Miss Bohemia website! Choose the free shipping option upon checkout.

Miss Bohemia/Jennifer Guest Post & Giveaway

*Contest is closed*

Day 8 of my Giveaway-A-Day Countdown to My Birthday Bash brings us Miss Bohemia for a guest post! For those that don’t know her, she has a fantastic shop on Etsy! So, take it away Jenn!

Firstly, I would like to wish Amanda Happy Birthday and thank her for inviting me to write a guest post on her blog! As this is my first ever guest post, it was a great surprise, but a little scary. Hopefully, you’ll bear with me as I introduce myself and talk about just a few of my many favourite things… I will admit to being addicted to books, jewellery and anything sweet!

I’m a bit of a day dreamer and my vivid imagination and obsession with books started at an early age, and provided a great form of escapism. I loved that you could almost be like Alice in Wonderland and escape down the rabbit hole to an alternate reality! Some would say my love of books (and many other things) is obsessive, but after finding all these wonderful book bloggers & twitter, I know I’m not alone :)

I loved reading fairytales and scary books and especially enjoyed books that merged the two together. I guess this transferred through adulthood to my love of reading Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy! Gotta love vamps (I like mine tall, dark & deadly), werewolves a close second (bringing the heat) & other mythical creatures!

My favourite books include Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice, The Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris, The Tooth Fairy (a rare grim fairytale book by Graham Joyce), The Book With No Name by Anonymous (weird but so funny), The Kate Daniels series by IIona Andrews and a new firm favourite ‘Soulless’ by Gail Carriger! My book wishlist includes ‘Changeless’ by Gail Carriger, Avalon Revisited by O.M. Grey and The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.

I also love to read thrillers, art books & some chick lit! Oh and I must mention the following movies;- The Labyrinth, Heavenly Creatures & Edward Scissorhands, just because I love them so much!

My other passions include jewellery and shopping for vintage and old fashioned finds! I’m like a magpie when it comes to shiny trinkets and pretty things! Or perhaps I should say I’m like a ‘Valkyrie’ from Immortals After Dark, who Kresley Cole describes as “without training, they can be mesmerized by shining objects and jewels”.

I also love creating jewellery and although it’s something I’ve only recently started doing, I confess to being a little obsessed (are you seeing a pattern here :))!

My jewellery creations are quite an eclectic mix as they are often inspired by my alternate reality and love of magic, dark fairytales, supernatural, fantasy and steampunk! I love using deep reds, purples, emerald greens and black for my gothic pieces, but I often make romantic and vintage jewellery too – a bit of everything!

I do have a secret passion to write a book and often see myself as a writer who has a cabin in a remote area in the woods, completely dissociated from the real world while writing novels! A bit like the Johnny Depp character (a bit crazy but minus the murders) in ‘The Secret Window’! On the other hand, I couldn’t really survive very long without company or an internet connection :)

Anyway, that’s enough about me! I hope you’ve enjoyed my ramblings :)

Thanks again Amanda!

The Blood Moon Pendant Vampires Versus Werewolves

The moon crescent is a bright gold plate with an intricate design and pointed talons that curl around the red stone which is faceted and sparkles in the light.
A subtle representation of my two favourite supernatural creatures!
Gorgeous Victorian style half moon (representing the wolves) setting holding a blood red faceted stone (representing the vampires lust for blood).
I have used a gold plated curb chain which is approx 23 inches long!
This glamorous piece of treasure resembles something from an ancient crypt or lair!
