My first giveaway--25 days of giveaways!
This is my first time participating in Tina's 25 Days of Giveaways and I am so excited!
After we Sydney was born, I began to envision her as a butterfly who had woken from her cocoon and flown away. From the beginning, butterflies have always symbolized her and we are frequently visited by butterflies. I love to collect things with her name on it, and then, I began looking for butterfly keepsakes.
One day, about 9 months or so after Sydney died, I came across The Midnight Orange on Etsy. I was immediately struck by the beauty of the sculptures. I was sure the artist had to be a baby lost mama, but then found that she wasn't. I bookmarked her page, intending to come back soon and buy an angel sculpture. It was a little while before I made it back, and when I finally did, her new sculptures took my breath away. Her angels were now offered with butterfly wings. I had showed my husband and he ended up ordering my first piece for me.
Over the last couple of years, D. Antonia's work has continued to resonate with me. She is so talented and her pieces are so honest and, in some cases, raw. I have a list of future pieces I hope to buy and display in Sydney's area in our home.
When I tried to decide what I wanted to giveaway, I came up blank at first. Then I realized that one of D. Antonia's angel ornaments would be perfect for a giveaway! This piece, a sleeping angel ornament, is so beautiful and delicate. When I opened it up to take a picture, I was tempted to keep it for myself. LOL Please forgive the quality of the pictures, they do the angel no justice at all.
In order to enter my giveaway, you must be a baby lost parent. Simply leave a comment telling me your angel's name(s) and birthday/angelversary. Make sure to leave a link to your blog so I can visit you too! For a second entry, go link The Midnight Orange on Facebook and then leave a comment letting me know you did.
I'm wishing all of you a peaceful holiday season as we endure this time without our precious babies.
