Contest!

We love contests! So, we're having another one!

Win this fabulous triple wrap turquoise and leather bracelet with a sterling button closure. It is handmade in Toronto by Naruuko. Valued at $120. Gorgeous!

Contest Details:
All you have to do is post a picture of yourself on Bon Lemon's Facebook page wearing your Bon Lemon goodies. Could be a bracelet, could be earrings, could be a scarf. Anything from Bon Lemon. The more creative the better. On Thanksgiving, we will draw a winner from all of our entries. Just our way of saying thanks to all of our Bon Lemon supporters.

Happy photographing!

Sara Lagace Furry Mini Paws

These are so stinking cute. I found Sara Lagace on Etsy on one of my power searches for new talent. And talent did I find! Unfortunately, Sara doesn't do wholesale (which is understandable, because some Etsy sellers have more than enough retail business on Etsy, so there is no reason for them to sell wholesale to Bon Lemon.)

We love her stuff none-the-less and had to pick up a set of her "Paws," which might be the most fun winter gloves ever. They are adorned with recycled mink and come in lots of fun colors. She has a standard length and a mini length (I went with the mini, because I thought I could wear them in Washington and Montana).

Check her stuff out on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/saralagace?ref=seller_info

She also makes really cool jewelry (the recycled mink earrings are my fav!) and other fun stuff.

The Furry Friend Contest

What is more fun than giving things away? (I think I was meant to be a philanthropist. Give Bon Lemon a couple of years.)

We are having another contest: The Furry Friend Contest. Like most of our contests, this one relates to our mantra,

"when life gives you lemons... make lemonade."

The Furry Friend Contest will run from Wednesday, September 22 through Wednesday, September 29. All you have to do is tell us how your furry friend (dog, ferret, rabbit, horse... overly hairy men do not count) has helped you make lemonade. It could be anything from saving your life to licking your feet. Post it on our Facebook page for all the world to see. (Actually, we have less than 300 friends, so you will only be exposing yourself to the equivalent of a high school graduating class. Or the number of people in the US who still own a Hypercolor shirt. Those were so cool!)

An example of The Furry Friend Contest entry:
When I am having a bad day, and I take Dolce Vita Evans for a walk, I get great pleasure seeing the joy he experiences from running around outside. I watch him as he devises the perfect position to pee on the exact leaf of a bush he has his eye on. I envy the enjoyment he feels from breathing air. I learn from his enthusiasm for everything he encounters. Although, sometimes it takes a dog peeing on a bush to remind me, no matter how many lemons come my way, there is always lemonade to be had.

So share your story with us. Tell us how your furry friend has helped you make lemonade. The sappier the better. The winner, as determined by Dolce Vita Evans, the Bon Lemon proprietress, and our board of directors (so really just me), will receive this bunny friendly scarf made from buttery soft angora valued at $48! You can pick black, white or caramel.

Give your furry friend a scratch from Bon Lemon.

P.S. we are on the hunt for Bon Lemon dog collars, but haven't found the right ones. If you have suggestions, we would love to hear them.
