THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
Everyone knows raising a teenage daughter is tough. Might I venture to say, one of the hardest things I will ever do. Clothes shopping has become a game of wits. A battle of who is outmaneuvering who. I have a sneaking suspicion I am losing. If I say I like it, will she hate it? What kind of day is it? Giving advice is a slowly thought out process.
I found this lovely necklace at Anthropologie during a sale. It was originally $58, marked down to $19.99. It is a hand-bound tiny little book made by Peg and Awl with actual pages. It was called Little Musings Necklace. I made a deal with my daughter that when one of us wears the necklace, she will leave a kind note for the other one to find when she wears it next. Make sense?
Here are some examples:
This little book has been a small love letter exchange between my daughter and myself. I hope to fill the pages before she leaves us for college in four years. Then she can take it with her and remember that someone out there loves her unconditionally.
I found another necklace on sale the other day at Anthropologie and I thought it would be so much fun to share the love some more. So, I am giving it away on my one month anniversary of my blog. You know I like any reason to celebrate. Bring on the cake!
If you have a daughter, use it like we do. If you have a partner, give it to him/her. Give it to your mother. Give it to your brother. Or better yet, keep it, and write yourself some love letters. It is all good!

What a lovely giveaway! Thanks!
That is a sweet story and unfortunately she will be off to college sooner than you realize! But, one thing is true…with or without the sentiment she will know you love her. Probably more so when she is away! Until then keep making those memories, oh and keep sharing them w us on your blog!!

What a wonderful idea and such a lovely giveaway! I am a poet and truly believe in the importance of words. What a beautiful idea for your daughter.
Fantastic idea, Jenni. I love this and I will plan to do this with my 6 year old once she begins borrowing my clothes/accessories. I’m a total sucker for keepsakes like this.
I am following you!
I got here from EA. Your blog has a lovely peacefulness about it. I can totally relate to your personal style and home decorative approach and was surprised at how many Anthro home items we have in common – including the huge rope coiled pot (mine currently houses the kids’ shoes)
The necklace is a beautiful idea.
I like your blog, and your outfits are inspiring!
I am following you.
