a playlist & a giveaway with a fabulous gold medal winner: ReComputing!






what a treat we have for you today, nicies!
not only a gorgeous giveaway with one of the 2012 handmade olympics gold medalists, but also a fabulous & fun playlist that'll have you dancing up a storm in no time!

don't you just adore ReComputing, a self-proclaimed *handmade geekery jewelry & accessories shop*, featuring goodies made from recycled computers? i love the clean, modern designs, with everything from cuff links, tie tacks, pendants, necklaces to earrings, clocks, rings! {and ps: owner natalka ALSO handcrafts some of my VERY favourite embroidered jewelry in the whole WORLD, too, in her gorgeous skrynka shop! *swoon!* what a talented superstar!}
  
so be sure to visit natalka around the web, and read on to 
WIN a $25 gift certificate to the ReComputing shop! woohoo!

natalka


first up, natalka's fun PLAYLIST. she writes: "So, my theme is inspirational songs. These songs always lift my mood and they never bore me!"

1.      Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence
2.      Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts
3.      Muse - New Born 
4.      Natasha Bedingfield - These Words 
5.      R.E.M. - Love Is All Around 
6.      Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
7.      The Beatles - All You Need is Love 
8.      The Rolling Stones-  Rain Fall Down
9.      The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony
10.     Zaz- je veux 
"Most of these songs are not only my favorite but also my husband’s. It’s very important for me to have a partner with similar tastes, as they're the person I want to live life with! You can see, we are vintage folks when it comes to music. I can barely name 1 or 2 songs from the last year that I like. Zaz is the youngest in the list. 
Well, I thought about Adele but it had to take some time for the song to jump here.
All of the songs are confirmed by our little 2 years old son. He's enjoyed them since he was a baby. And when he learned to walk he started to dance and sing, too."

thanks so much, natalka! love your fun playlist! now for the superfun GIVEAWAY!
