September Giveaway: Handmade Jewelry in North Dakota, KLG Designs

Filed Under: Giveaways, Life in North Dakota Tagged With: Monthly Giveaway, North Dakota, prairie life 38 Comments

September’s giveaway includes two pairs of earrings from a fabulous handmade jewelry maker from North Dakota! There are four ways to enter this giveaway until the evening of September 30th, 2013. First, learn about the handmade jewelry.

Kara is a friend of mine, who is an engineer turned metalsmith and stay-at-home mom. Kara and I became friends when I worked with Pride of Dakota and have kept in touch. She doesn’t have a store front but I buy from her at local shows and Pride of Dakota showcases. And often I email her when I need a gift for a friend or family member.

Kara has 80 some different metal tools in her shop and all of her jewelry starts from sheets of metal. She is an amazing artist! Last fall, I bought several pairs of earrings for family members. Then I needed some myself. We had a few of her items at our county fair silent auction. I just love Kara and her company, KLG Designs! She offers custom orders and personalized pieces along with a few of my favorite pairs of earrings and necklaces. 

Take a peek!

KLG Designs JewelryI told Kara about my monthly North Dakota giveaway and she graciously sent me two pairs of earrings at a reduced price. The earrings for this giveaway are normally $35-45 per pair.  They are my favorite triple fine silver hoops and a pair of copper hoops wrapped with sterling silver. 

You have the opportunity to win them for FREE. I will announce the two winners on the evening of Monday, September 30th and send you a pair of earrings if you are a winner.

    How could you chose just one? All of Kara’s designs are awesome! I just started a new career and am thinking about ordering a few pieces. Just haven’t decided which right now. Kara was an excellent Engineer and I think an even better designer.

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
