Naturaleza Organic Jewelry + Earring Giveaway (Win A Pair Of Sterling Silver + Seed Earrings)

Moran Fuerte Ring - recycled sterling and organic wood band

From the very first time I browsed the naturalezanica shop on etsy I immediately fell in love their jewelry. The simple elegance of the designs combined with the beautiful hues and patterns of nature are a perfect and beautiful pairing. I don't really ever purchase mass produced jewelry because most conventional, mass marketed pieces look either too gaudy, too cheap or (to be blunt) too ugly. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the independently created and designed pieces created by Naturaleza Organic Jewelry which are absolutely stunning!

Naturaleza Organic Jewelry (naturalezanica on ebay) is completely designed and handmade by Kentucky residents, Amy and Marlon Obando Solano. Marlon grew up in rural Nicaragua where he learned to work with and create using natural forest materials. Now he and Amy combine ancestral Nicaraguan adornment techniques with modern design elements to make beautiful, unique pieces of jewelry. Each piece the duo creates is made of sustainable, hand collected raw materials such as seeds, nuts and wood along with 100% recycled sterling silver. Naturaleza Organic Jewelry also does not use varnish or dye on their pieces, instead polishing them with organic sesame oil, allowing the vibrant colors and patterns of nature to shine through.

Naturaleza Organic Jewelry would make a wonderful anniversary or birthday gift, the perfect wedding or engagement bands, or just something to add to your personal collection. Some of my favorite pieces from Marlon & Amy's portfolio (along with the rings pictured above) can be seen below:

Asi Nacascolo - sustainable nacascolo wood with recycled sterling silver inlay


Turquoise Lados Rings - Custom designed ring set with turquoise inlay and unity symbol.

Lados Lapis Azul and Coyol Ring - Coyol seed, lapiz azul and recycled sterling.

Naciendo - handcarved nacascolo necklace with recycled sterling leaf inlay

Nambaro Circle Earrings - sustainable cocobolo wood earrings

Text Message Baby Giveaway: Gift Basket (Value $125)

Text Messaging has become such an intricate part of society today. Many people find they can't live or even operate without the use of their cell phones. As a parent, I have come to find that one of the most difficult parts of raising a teen today is in communicating with them. If you are like most parents, text messaging is sometimes the only way to get their attention. Sad but true we have somehow become this society of convenience when it comes to talking with our children. Although everyone has their own opinions as to how the lines of communication should be met between our children, we can all agree that in this age of technology that any kind of communication is better than none at all.

Text Message Baby was created out of our love of texting. My twin daughters were actually my inspiration behind the concept of baby clothes with funny text message graphics on them. I also wanted to offer parents today an alternative to buy a product that was eco-friendly and safe for their children so we print all our designs on the finest 100% organic cotton. It's nice to imagine what babies would say if they could actually text. Our organic onesies, tees and bibs have become a popular gift for any occasion and moms, dads and grandparents everywhere love them!!

Whether you are new to our product or have been a fan for quite some time, we would love for you to help spread the word about us. In appreciation for getting the word out about our super cute product we want to giveaway a basket full of our product, along with other eco-friendly things (value $125). Items included are not only for baby, but mom as well. You will receive the following:
"Laugh My Diaper Off" Onesie (100% organic cotton - size 12/18m)
"Stuck In My Highchair" Bib (100% organic cotton)
"Giggle" T-Shirt (100% organic cotton - 2T)
Adorable Soft Plush Animal by Beverly Hills Teddy Bear
Eco-Friendly Sassy Earth Brights Nature Inspired Wooden Toy
Eco-Friendly Gardening Kit (Basil Mix)
Fully Lined Storage Wicker Basket
Here's how you can enter to win:

Just visit our website at TextMessageBaby.com and tell us which of our onesies, tees or bibs you like best either by leaving a comment here or on our facebook page!
