Padgett Hoke

So, as I was blog-hopping one day, I happened across a blog by a young lady named Padgett Hoke. It just so happens that I went to school with a girl named Padgett Hoke in Jackson Hole, WY. I thought to myself, "How many Padgett Hokes can there be?"

Low and behold, it was the same girl! I love how small the world is. I can hop from one blog to the next, from Portland to California to New York, and end up finding someone from my high school.

The coolest part? Padgett sells beautiful handmade jewelry on one of my favorite sites, Etsy. (If you haven't heard of it before, it is a website where people can sell their own handmade goods, vintage items, or crafting supplies. It is extremely addicting, and you can spend hours surfing from shop to shop).

Padgett's jewelry is is extremely fresh and cheerful. The delicate designs are bright and simple, and what I love most is that they have just enough detail to make them unique, without being over-done or gaudy.

I especially have my eye on these pearl and crystal drop earrings above, and the gold framed amethyst necklace below.

Are you absolutely in love? I know, me too! Here's the best part; for the month of August, Padgett is having a promotion. Type in the code "AUGUSTRUSH" at check out, and you'll get a hefty 30% off your order! Considering that her items are already budget-friendly, this is a deal you should not pass up. So check out Padgett's lovely etsy store and blog today!
