turtle love's maine necklace.

i am so stoked to have received an early christmas present from the lovely ladies at turtle love co! they sent me the maine state necklace, which is so perfect because i am missing it there so much. i guess doing things i love like pinning on pinterest and blogging about pretty jewelry really pays off!

but the even better thing is that from now until monday (december 10th), you can get your own state necklace (or any of the other tlc exclusive necklaces, like the mother and baby necklaces or the initial necklaces) for 20% off! just use the code sweetwilliam!
