Alison Moore Designs

I have mentioned before that I belong to the Etsy Expats Team. Some time ago Alison Moore dropped in to chat in the team's forum and I was immediately dazzled by her beautiful handcrafted jewellery. We became business friends on facebook and so, when I recently noticed that Alison was running a giveaway to win a sterling silver & copper organic necklace on Etsy Stalker, I had to enter! And guess what? I was the winner!!! Alison's stunning necklace arrived beautifully packaged a few days ago and I have worn it every day since. 

Alison lives with her husband in a tiny cottage on an island in the north of Scotland and says that being on a Scottish island has a huge impact on her work. The necklace I received features a trio of handmade circles in sterling silver, oxidized sterling silver, and copper and  has a very organic feel to it. I can totally see the the influence of the natural landscape she lives in on her work and I absolutely love it!
If you'd like to read a little more about Alison, check out this interview with her on the Etsy Stalker blog and then pop over to her shop and treat yourselves!

Thank you, Alison, for this fabulous giveaway and your incredible generosity! We have just celebrated Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and what better a start to the year could I have asked for than to win such a magnificent prize?
