Modish July Giveaway!

It's summer, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the Earth is smiling.  How can this day get any better?  Well, how about with a totally awesomely radical and fantastic giveaway!  Yeah!  Since I had to skip last month's giveaway, I promised to make this one a big ol' doozy, and hopefully I delivered!  With thanks to the kindness of many great contributors, I was able to round up $880 worth of handmade goodness!  Yowza!  Since that's an awful lot, I'll be splitting up the goods between TWO winners!  All you have to do to win is enter below!

::TO ENTER::

Click and explore at least one site from the giveaway contributors listed below.  Find an item you think is interesting, unique, or something that you'd love to take home, then, leave a comment on this post letting us know which site you visited and share a link to an item you found there!  ie: "I found this oh so pretty necklace at Nek jewelry! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12581537" 

Some guidelines:

• You can visit one site or visit many, just share one link per comment- that way, if you visit 5 different shops, you'll enter yourself 5 different times and increase your odds of winning!
• You'll have until Friday, July 11th at 11:59pm (PST) to enter, just 3 short days!
  
• over the weekend, I'll choose TWO winners randomly from all the comments and notify them by email.
