I’ve met a lot of interesting people during my time here on the internet.

Some are interesting, in the awesome kind of way.

Others are more…meh.

My friend Khristi definitely falls into the former category.

She helps sick animals get better, which is the first reason I fell in love with her.  And, after getting to know her better, I was happy to discover my feelings about her were right on. She’s kind, funny, and talented.

No, this is not my coming out post.

It’s a giveaway!

I spotted some earrings Khristi made on my Facebook feed several months ago, and I loved them.

They were made with feathers from her one year old hen, donated during her first molt. Since the hen is somewhat of an arteest, she was totally on board and was all PLEASE USE MY FEATHERS.

I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on them, and wear them with just about everything.

So, for Valentine’s Day, I thought it’d be fun to offer you guys a little somethin’ somethin’ from her Etsy shop, ktnunna (pronounced k.t. NONE-Ah, but she’s totally fine if you say it like I do – k tuna).

The winner will be chosen at random, or by how much I like you, and will receive $10 off their purchase.

Here’s a sample of just some of the cool she creates…

felt bow hair clip

wire wrapped shaggy pearl bracelet

sparrow necklace

white egg nest necklace

And, finally, this sweet necklace, recently featured in the premiere issue of From Scratch Magazine.

Be sure to check out her other stuff, too!

To win, all you have to do is jump on one foot and bark like a dog.

Or, if you’re a fun sponge….

Leave a comment here on why you love, or loathe, Valentine’s Day. Or, why you deserve to buy yourself something special just because.

Or, whatever, you can also just leave a comment saying, “Hey, what’s up? Man, you say some pretty stupid shit sometimes, Allison.”

Either/Or will work.

If you really wanna play ball, you can up your odds of winning by heading over to her Facebook shop and “liking” it.

You’ve got 24 hours, starting now, because I’m a huge procrastinator and Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching!

Annnnnd GO!
