A week from today is my birthday; I’ll be turning 24 this year! I still get a bit of an excited feeling about my birthday, even if I have nothing terribly party-ish planned (save making myself a batch of cupcakes! A girl always needs cake on her birthday…) Since sadly I can’t have you all over for a party (much fun as that would be!) with proper birthday cakes, decorations and favors, I thought it would be fun to celebrate and spread the joy with a few giveaways leading up to my birthday! Kind of a “reverse birthday gift” in a way. They’ll be a total of three throughout the week, so keep your eyes open for them!
Giveaway #1: Balloons Over Paris Earrings
My favorite pair of earrings feature an Eiffel Tower charm; I constantly get compliments when I wear them! I found these similar charms and made a pair of earrings featuring vintage findings and beads. I think they’d look super-sweet with a pretty spring dress, or even just adding a bit of flair to a t-shirt and slacks look!

These vintage-esque earrings are just darling. And I love the title, ‘balloons over the eiffle tower’ Its very celebratory, like your birthday! Keeping with the paris theme

It’s almost my birthday, too! If your sister weren’t busy freaking over school I’d kidnap her and take her to Minnesota for the purpose of celebrating.
