The Prettiest Bangles and Thank You! (Giveaway Closed!)

These beauties are from one of my most favorite shops Finn and Sparrow. My friend Meehan is the creative behind the gorgeous jewelry and in all honesty, every single time she posts a new piece, my jaw drops. Cam bought me one of her stunning rings for our anniversary last year and I haven’t wanted to take off my bangles since they arrived in our mailbox! I’ve been loving them so much that I thought it would make the perfect gift for one of you, as a thank you, or hvala in Croatian, for sticking it out with us through my blog and continuously being so encouraging. I’m thankful for all of the friendships I’ve made and wonderful women I’ve been introduced to or emailed with. In the midst of my morning sickness hiatus, when I was too sick most days to see anyone and really just wanted to hide in my pajamas all day with John Shea (haha, really), I told Cam that the times I felt lonely were from not seeing friends in person but also from not blogging! So I am sincere when I say, I love this community 🙂

Aren’t they so pretty?! You can see more from Meehan’s shop here. We have been friends since high school and even then she was making her own jewelry, painting and drawing gorgeous florals and letters, having an eye for beautiful finds in thrift stores… she is one of those people that has creativity and style flowing out in everything she does. She is all around a creative and beautiful soul. Her and her husband and toddler son Ryder have spent a lot of time in India as missionaries and it’s her goal to help poor families there through her shop by providing paid, honest, creative jobs. She is living out the maxim to teach a man to fish, instead of giving him one.

Anyone can enter the giveaway for an emerald bangle, just simply leave a comment below. And you can find Meehan’s beautiful jewelry here… anything in her shop would make a great gift for someone you love or a treat for you!
Good luck!

    Those are absolutely gorgeous! I just started following her instagram account. Thank you for introducing her shop to us!

    Hope all is going well with your adorable John Shea. I have a little Ava James almost the same age (14 mo.) and she is also an utter delight as well. You can follow her adventures here: http://instagram.com/kristybrentava/

    Have a blessed day!

    Love the bangles but I love her heart and mission even more! That's awesome. I'm really glad you're back. I kept telling my friends, "My favorite blogger is gone and I don't know whyyyy." You had a pretty good reason. 🙂 So excited for your family! Also, I'm planning a trip to Oki this spring so I might be emailing you for ideas. You're the best!

    It's good to have you back blogging again! You were missed! Those bangles are so cute! I have a hard time finding bangles that stay on my tiny wrists, and these look like they would work!

  13. Ashley says

    These are beautiful, I would love one! I will have to check out her shop now. I have really enjoyed following your blog the past few years!

  14. Kara says

    Holy smokes these are GORGEOUS! Wow. I'm obsessed. Which ring did Cam get you? Is the only way to see her inventory through her Instagram?

    • Amanda Marshall says

      He bought me one of her turquoise rings, though I don't see it anymore in her posts. Yes, just through instagram – she is working on a new website though so hopefully soon! You can either contact her through her instagram or through her email listed on her instagram account.

    What beautiful bangles and what a beautiful mission your friend has! I'm so thankful you formed this blog and brought this community together – you are constantly a source of wisdom and light and love! 🙂

    What beautiful pieces! Congratulations on the sweet little one on the way! I started reading your blog right after our second daughter was born, a month after your John Shea. So happy to hear the sweet news after what you went through this summer.

    • Amanda Marshall says

      Thank you thank you, Mallory. That is really kind of you. So fun too that our babes are that close in age – when we start going through the tantrum stage for real (have only gotten glimpses here and there so far) I'll be looking to you for some comfort, ha! 🙂

  30. Caroline says

    So, so beautiful! Also, looking forward to hearing more about Croatia soon – my roommate and I will be in Dubrovnik for three weeks this July for a seminar, and we are poring everything Croatia-related we can find 🙂

    • Amanda Marshall says

      Ah! So great! I am doing the same… we don't move there until the very end of July so right now we're just focusing on the language, so I may be coming to you for travel advice!

    Beautiful bangles! Congrats on the new bundle and I'm so happy you are feeling well enough to blog again! Last summer our friends found out their family would be stationed in Okinawa and I immediately directed them to your blog to get them excited for the move. Now I can't wait to see Croatia through your beautiful photos! Its already on my bucket list, and I'm sure it will be moving up as I learn more about it. Cheers!

    Gorgeous bangles! I know we've never met, but I so enjoy reading and seeing your journey through life and all the cool places you get to go! And my stars, just beautiful pictures! I recently had a neighbor mention that her husband is also getting ready to take language classes in the Army to move overseas and I directed her to your blog! Thank you for always being so transparent and excited about life!

    These bangles are truly gorgeous. Simple and classic. "Hvala" for the chance to win! You are going to LOVE Croatia. I visited twice last year, once to vacation on the coast and again in December for work. Beautiful country, beautiful people. It will make a lovely home for your family.
