1 year Twigs & Honey anniversary :: Giveaway!
Posted on | Monday, January 19, 2009 | 246 Comments
These pieces were a couple special projects from this past year.
I meant to do this post a little sooner, but it's been so busy!
Anyhow, I wanted to thank everyone who worked with and supported me this past year with twigs & honey! I cannot believe how fast the year went by, but on January 25th, twigs & honey is celebrating 1 year since its first Etsy sale to this lovely lady. As a modest thank you (if I had more time, I would do something bigger), I am doing a giveaway on this blog. Starting today, January 19th, through midnight, January 25th, post a comment on this blog, copy and paste the link to your favorite twigs & honey piece, and describe why it is your favorite. You can navigate through all my past Etsy sales by clicking here. I'll choose someone randomly (yes! So everyone has a fair chance.) and the winner will receive a specially designed, one of a kind Valentine's Day twigs & honey hair piece. I'll try to post the picture later this week. I'll post a follow up blog post after January 25th, to announce the winner. Thank you to everyone following this blog and hooray for anniversaries!

I love this one: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13167227
It is simple (I love simple!) but subtly complex with the addition of the feathers and crystals. Goregous.
Keep up the beautiful work!

There are many that I really like but this one I really love. I like the mixture of the fun polka dot feathers with the elegance of the silk flowers and pearl beads. The berries aare also a great touch!
January 23, 2009 at 5:01 PM
I am absolutely in love with this one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12476639
The feathers and the birdcage veil! It's beautiful!
January 23, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Oh gosh, Myra, all your pieces are so beautiful~I could easily pick a favorite from every page! Congratulations on your wonderful year!
My favorite pick (today!) is:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12453858
I love the bigger size and the softness of the feathers. I would wear it everywhere!

http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13034557
I like this the most b/c it's simple, elegant, sexy, yet mysterious.

*SWOON*
That is all. :)
January 23, 2009 at 8:30 PM
i especially love the simple, lovely flower (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13340794).
January 23, 2009 at 8:50 PM
It's hard to pick a piece out of all your lovely concoctions, but this is one of my favorites:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12381225
I love the combination of the two flowers, how the subtle differences in their hue and size complement each other. Love all your gorgeous pieces, Myra!
January 23, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Goooodness gracious, it's hard to pick a favorite among 81 pages of beautiful pieces. I love the detachable nature of this birdcage veil/fascinator: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12986034
Buuut I think my overall favorite of the many pages I browsed is this li'l number:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12920939
It's just so beautifully -different-! The mixture of leaves, lace, brooch, etc. is just stunning.

January 23, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Thank you so much for all your work. I can't wait until my wedding in April with all your pieces!
As for my favorite, it has to be what you made for me!
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=10664944
If only I could get married 5 times and wear 5 different things you made!
January 23, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Congrats on the year! This is my favorite piece, http://tinyurl.com/acg4ex because I love the blues. I love how I can pair this with a dress or even wear with jeans.
January 23, 2009 at 11:44 PM
I love your neckpieces, they are so beautiful! This has to be my favorite, it's so elegant and I think it gives instant charm and grace to any bride! :) http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11836749
January 24, 2009 at 2:29 AM
I love tons of your work but this one would be great!

The aqua and cranberry color combination is to die for on this headpiece with birdcage veil:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=9106418
Definitely my favorite - I could see creating an entire wedding theme around this headpiece and how great would it look to have that extra pop of color to compliment a wedding gown.
Love it, Love everything about it! Your work is breathtaking as always.

I love this hair piece: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=8280647
It's been in my favourites at etsy forever, or at least since I started looking for accessories for my wedding. This piece has all of our wedding colours and it's how I found out about your work. I've wanted one of your pieces ever since!
Congratulations on your success!
January 24, 2009 at 7:14 AM
love, love, love this one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18210249
its a perfect, pretty alternative to wearing a veil- which, for some brides (read: ME!) feel is a bit too traditional for us. love it. it's beautiful.
January 24, 2009 at 7:41 AM
I love your work! My favorite (for today) is this one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20128143
January 24, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Congrats! All of your pieces are lovely! One of my favorites is this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=7449579
I just love the combination of different textures and color palette.
January 24, 2009 at 1:02 PM
Myra you are such a talent! A big congrats on your one year anniversary with Etsy. I predict big things for your business as your pieces are just so gorgeous and unique. I love all of your pieces but my favourites are your neck pieces as pictured on your blog and boleros. http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13020485
and of course each and every piece you designed for me!! so special!!!
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11923556
Have a great celebration and be sure to post some anniversary pics!
January 24, 2009 at 1:24 PM
I love all your gorgeous designs! My (current) favorite has to be this elegant and simple piece: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=9013658
Though your first etsy sale is running a very, very close second.
Thank you for this amazing chance to win an item from you. :)
January 24, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Congratulations! Your work is beautiful, classic, and amazing. I love this piece:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17135857
It is delicate and classic which are the kind of adornments I like. And, it would look beautiful in my hair for my wedding in May.
Keep making beautiful pieces. The world needs more beauty.
January 24, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Without any doubt the boutonnieres are my favorites. I love all the little pieces you put together into something so so so wonderful.
I've had so many favorites over the last 10 months. I had to settle on this one. http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13030718
January 24, 2009 at 5:19 PM
I am going to have a casual and colorful California outdoor wedding and I think that your turquoise peacock feather hair piece would be beautiful for my event. It's really unique and funky. I"m glad this contest led me to your etsy store!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14615320&ref=em
January 24, 2009 at 5:27 PM
I adore your bouts!! Im getting married in May and wish so badly that it was in my budget to have you do bouts for my guys and little hair pieces for my ladies, because I love everything you do!!! I love this color combo especially, http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11984547. I would do something similar to this in deep purples and pinks. Keep up the creativity!!!
January 24, 2009 at 5:54 PM
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12920939
so beautiful.
January 24, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Wow! I have to pick just one favorite? Certainly a difficult task! These designs are truly one of a kind - your bridal patrons can feel so beautiful on their special day knowing that they are wearing something so unique!
While each and everyone of your hairpieces are breathtaking (I hope to wear one on my upcoming wedding day), my eyes keep on wandering back to the little bolero featured here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=14189751. It radiates a delicate and feminine style that I believe will look just as beautiful in 30 years as it does today!
I look forward to seeing all that you will create in this new year! Happy 2009!
January 24, 2009 at 9:06 PM
happy anniversary!
i cannot pick just one - so i'm putting down two :)
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11095025
so delicate and beautiful! looks so vintage!
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=10860927
so unique - looks like a piece of art!
i look forward to ordering from you for my late 2009 wedding - as soon as we figure out our colors!
January 24, 2009 at 11:11 PM
This boutonniere is one of my favorite pieces: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13039008
The colors and feathers completely fit with my wedding theme and I am going to have to order something similar from you!
January 25, 2009 at 1:09 AM
My favorite is http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12476639
I love how it makes me feel like a woman. I usually am not so into "girly" things, yet seeing this piece made me feel like a woman. I love the dark brown and fuschia combination. Feminie, yet strong. Calm yet bold. I like that birdcage is detachable. I love it because I feel like I can wear it on my wedding day...then reuse it when I go out on a date..anniversary dinner...party...etc....or to go grocery shopping without makeup on. I love how versatile it is!! I love it!!!!
January 25, 2009 at 10:58 AM
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=8195418
I love this piece. It is so elegant and dainty. It matches my vintage style.
January 25, 2009 at 11:46 AM
Congratulations Myra! Your hair pieces are amazing! This is my favorite one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11069860
I browse your blog everyday (actually I check at least twice a day). You give me a lot of inspiration. I would never thought of using ribbon like what you did in this piece. I really like the knot that create a darker tone.
Envy your talent, very creative!
January 25, 2009 at 1:40 PM
I love the colors and textures in all of your work. The pieces are incredibly artistic and I love the complexity of the components that come together in each one. I loved the boutonniere linked below because I adore wheat and other natural grains.
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=10881650
I found your site too late for my own wedding last fall, but I am hopeful that I'll be able to order something for my father's wedding that will take place at a historic resort on Mackinac Island in Michigan.
January 25, 2009 at 4:09 PM
Your items are all so unique that it's so hard to choose what i like best!! I suppose if i had to choose, i like this custom piece you did:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11903991
It's so elegant, and exactly what i'm wanting for my hair accessory for my wedding: a little antique-looking, a little modern, and very feminine!
January 25, 2009 at 4:34 PM
I found this one a few days ago and absolutely loved it. After going back and searching for it, I only now realize it was made one year ago! http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.18211587.jpg
Its sophisticated with a little bit of sass. And the patterning on the feathers gives it a modern texture. Love love love it. And even though its a year old, its still fabulous.
January 25, 2009 at 6:46 PM
Hi,
Picking a favorite is a REALLY tough one. I love soo many pieces on your Etsy site. If I have to pick, I gues this is the one:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15531448
First of, purple is my personal favorite color ... the piece is delicate ... with the right combination of colors and textures.
Love it!
I can't help but mention my second favorite: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12920939
It's the second favorite ONLY because it's not as colorful (I love colors!) But it's Beautiful!
January 25, 2009 at 10:12 PM
how do you choose just ONE favorite? every creation is just perfect for a special event. i want one for a wedding, for a hot date, for a night out with the girls... but if i had to choose just one? it would be this stellar hairpiece:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=11762836
kimmysmiles is SO LUCKY. I would never take that off.
January 25, 2009 at 11:47 PM
Congrats on the anniversary! I am new to your line, but I am gaga over it! All of the headpieces (especially the headbands!) are awesome, but my favorite thing I have seen is the shrug!
http://twigsandhoney.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-piece-to-be-listed-today.html
It's so delicately unique. I have never seen anything like it in the bridal shops. It can be worn with so many dress styles and that is what makes it fabulous!
January 26, 2009 at 2:44 AM
Congratulations!
I'm so excited that you've made it this far! I wish you the best in the future. (:
I had a hard time choosing between this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13205794
and this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13167227
However, I would have to say that the first one is my favorite. My favorite part of it is the two delicate beaded loops. That one tiny detail just wins me over!
January 26, 2009 at 11:12 AM
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13333718
I love how fun and informal it is. I don`t plan on wearing a headpiece myself (I have crazy curls...) but I know my eight year old flowergirl would love this for our garden wedding (and could wear it again and again...if her mom doesn`t steal it!)
January 27, 2009 at 3:59 PM
I looooove this one!
It's so beautiful with the crisp white and pearls, with just the right amount of feathers. I would love to have something like this for my wedding, since I'm doing a subtle bird motif...

Keep it going fellow etsyian!
