And the winner is...

Marigold commented:

"Well, continuing in the latin theme, I would choose "fiat lux" meaning "let there be light." Too bad the letter limit keeps me from recommending my favorite latin catchphrase, ad astra--to the stars. (Yes, I do love me some dead languages. Don't even get me started on ancient greek.)"

And my personally favorite was Joanna's contribution:

"this is so fabulous! hmmm, my words would be "kiss me here" -- this is a great idea! xo"

So sexy and perfect for the upcoming holiday!

I will contact both lovely ladies today! Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone for participating!

Rara Avis and a GIVEAWAY!

"Rara Avis" (rare bird) is my new baby in what I hope is a collection I can pull together before January 31st for Citizen Video. I'm super excited that Citizen Video is going to start showcasing even more local artists. This is our number one movie and Six Feet Under addiction stop in San Diego. If you want this little buddy and live in SoCal go check it out in February!

And now for my very first Auburn & Ivory contest! I would love for you guys to come up with a message for one of my pendants. It can be one or two words between 1 and 4 letters. Just leave your words in the comments with your name. I am going to use random.org to pick the winner from the comments on this post. The winner will receive a necklace with a hand stamped pendant of their words! I will pick the winner on the 30th of January.

UPDATE: To make the competitors out there happy (hem hem esb) I will ALSO choose my favorite to receive a pendant. So that is TWO winners!!!

UPDATE #2: Contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated!
