Chantelle, who chose the silver love charm bangle, is the winner! Thanks again to everyone who entered the giveaway.
Most all my coming of age moments were in the 1980s (first kiss, first date, first field party, first job, first parking experience with the hubby on a gravel drive by a creek on someone’s farm where we almost got caught and I honestly listened for shotgun fire), when Bangles meant this:

I can still smell the spritz.
I had the opportunity to review a great line of hammered silver bangles available at Give Simple designed by the talented jewelry artisan behind Metalsgirl, Laura Gibson from Austin, Texas. The ultra skinny bangle charm bracelets are unique and fun and look great layered with other charm bracelets from the collection or layered with several plain bangles. I have the hammered sterling silver “Blessed” bangle with a pink herb charm and love it.

To win a Metalsgirl charm bangle, just visit the page on the Give Simple website, take a look at all 12 of the bangles offered, and then come back here and leave a comment telling which is your favorite. Give Simple is a wonderful place to shop for Mother’s Day, so while you’re there you may want to look around and find a little something for yourself. The entire jewelry line is great. And you can take 10% off all purchases at Give Simple through April 30 with the code BLONDEMOM. I’ll leave comments open until midnight Saturday, April 26 and will draw a random winner from all eligible comments (U.S. and Canadian addresses only, please). If you’d like to receive two entries, leave a comment and write about this giveaway on your own blog or website. You don’t have to have a blog or website to enter, but you do need to leave a valid e-mail address.
p.s. Not only does she craft beautiful, and cool, jewelry, but Laura Gibson founded the Blue Dog rescue group in Round Rock, Texas. As the owner of two pedigreed rescue mutts, I have a soft spot for pets that need homes. Hubby and I have always joked that if we hadn’t had children we’d have a house full of dogs. Bailey and Jack give Metalsgirl jewelry two paws up.










It was hard to choose, but I picked the “Bangle with Silver Giggle Charm and Purple Herb Charm with Spearmint for Happiness” as my favorite. Thank you for the giveaway.

I liked the, “Bangle with Silver Family Charm and Brown Herb Charm with Sage for Home Blessings”.
Malia’s last blog post..How Rude!
I think my top pick is the custom bracelet for Mother’s Day. Of the standard bracelets, though, I love the “family” one or the “happy” one. They are too cute!
Southern Mom’s last blog post..OMFG!
My favorite is the Bangle with Silver Love Charm and Red Herb Charm with Clove for Love. I love the color of the charm. Thank you for the chance.
Love them all but the Grace charm is my favorite!
I hope this comes through – I keep getting blocked. I’ll of course link this on my blog. I like the “Bangle with Silver Blessed Charm and Pale Pink Herb Charm with Poppy Seed for Fertility and Dreams” – I like the blessed charm because I could always use a reminder of how very blessed I am. And hubby likes me in pink…

This is a tricky one! I can’t decide between “Blessed” to remind me that I am, or “Grace” because I could use more of it! These are very neat.
Ellen’s last blog post..Happy Sunny Friday!
I can’t decide! They are really wonderful. For me it is either the silver Bliss charm with royal blue herb charm for spiritual bliss and strength or the silver giggle charm with purple herb charm for happiness.
They are adorable!

My favorite is the silver love charm and red herb charm with clove for love. This site is wonderful and I’m glad Mother’s day is around the corner. Thanks for the giveaway!
It is a toss-up between Blessed, Family and Bliss. I think I’ll have to go with the Bliss one because of the gorgeous blue color of the charm. These are wonderful!
Jumpin’ On My Last Nerve’s last blog post..So many stories, so little time
Bangle with Silver Giggle Charm and Purple Herb Charm with Spearmint for Happiness – that’s my fave.
I think the Family one is my favorite.
Hmmm…I htink the Blessed is my favorite, hard to decide. Ah The Bangles, I used to love them. Just Another Manic Monday:)
Jennifer’s last blog post..Earth Day Giveaway
Torn between Happy and Giggle, so I’ll go with the tie-breaker: RockStar.
Naomi’s last blog post..Breakfast Safari!
Very hard to choose – I think “Giggle” is my favorite, but I also really like the “Family” one. We are looking into buying a house right now – I could use something related to family and home!
Oh, and in a close third place – Rock Star!

Ooh, I love the Dream charm (Bangle with Silver Dream Charm and Robin’s Egg Blue Herb Charm with Ginger for Passion & Success). Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway!
Nancy’s last blog post..Lots of words about why I’m not writing much
I can’t decide between the silver bliss and the silver family ones. I like them both and what they represent. Although, all of them are pretty cool!
Great giveaway!
rachel’s last blog post..Bite Me, Roadrunner
Aren’t they cool!!
My favorite, after much deliberation, was “Bangle with Silver Peace Charm and White Herb Charm with Thyme for Cleansing and Clearing”
Fun contest…
Oooooh, I really liked them all, but my favorite is the “Bangle with Silver Happy Charm and Robin’s Egg Blue Herb Charm with Ginger for Passion & Success”. Love it
Mrs. F’s last blog post..Dramatic, but Not Overly So; Or Am I?
I like it very much. Because these bangles are made to be a continuous loop of hammered sterling silver. It is not possible to add additional word or color charms to bangles.
i like grace with the aqua basil charm. Thank you!!
These are really cool! This is my favorite: Bangle with Silver Bliss Charm and Royal Blue Herb Charm with Marjoram for Spritual Bliss & Strength.

I love the Bangle with Silver Grace Charm and Aqua Herb Charm with Basil for Love & Wealth. Grace was my grandmother’s name and I would cherish this bracelet.
I love the silver happy charm with the ginger for passion and success.
Hi, A wonderful site with very fair prices! I love hammered metal jewelry. I choose the “Grace Silver Charm/Aqua Herb Charm!” It has basil for Love and
Wealth. Please enter me in this drawing. Thanks,Cindi
The Bangle w/ Silver Blessed Charm and Pale Pink Herb Charm with Poppy Seed for Fertility and Dreams would definitely be my top choice! It perfectly matches what I feel: incredibly blessed to have my sweet daughter and wonderful husband; and the poppy seed for fertility wouldn’t hurt, either, as we’re trying for Baby #2! Thanks for sharing this great jewelry!
