The February Name Game!



The vote to decide whether this months Name Game would feature a bracelet or necklace was really close all weekend but in the end, a necklace won out by two votes - so here it is! This month's piece is a new brass necklace with a bit of an exotic flair. The unique filigree pendant is accented with a vintage floral cabochon in pale turquoise and tiny dangling crystals.



Here's how we play the game... all are welcome!
This new necklace need a name. Please leave a comment on this post with your name idea(s) and if one of yours is chosen, you win the necklace! It will then be listed for sale in my shop using your winning name. You may enter up to 10 names and they can be entered all at once or at different times.

YOU MUST INCLUDE your email address or Etsy username with every entry or it will not be considered.



You have until 10 pm (est) on Thursday, February 26 to enter. I will then choose my five favorite names and post them for a vote Friday morning which will run through the weekend. The winner will be announced on Monday, March 2.

Please email me at nicole@lillyella.com with any questions.
Have fun and good luck!

this has been tough, but i like "abanico azul" which translated as the blue fan. traditional women's costume for the spring festival in spain (la feria de abril) ALWAYS incorporates a fan. a handheld, often handpainted on a beautiful fabric with wooden structure. this reminded me of those springs in spain, the eternally blue sky, the tradition and the history.
