I possess several magic bottles filled with glitter and happy thoughts, thanks to the Life is the Bubbles shop! My favorite, of course, is a pixie dust necklace with a tinkling bell charm inspired by Tinkerbell. For as J.M. Barrie wrote in his Peter Pan novel, "All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust." Clap your hands if you believe you could win a magical necklace, too! Don't let your chance die. Fly straight on to enter Life is the Bubbles' Jewelry Giveaway before June 10, 2015. Disclaimer: I received this free necklace as a thank you gift for hosting a jewelry giveaway.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Evangelia Kollia for submitting the randomly-chosen 127th entry. Life is the Bubbles will email you soon with details on how to claim your prize. Handmade cuckoo clocks always fascinate me at faires, but I wouldn't want one squawking in my home. Owning a clock charm that's only sound would be the clang against my wire jewelry rack when put away is another story. Speaking of stories, I have another whale of a tale to tell today. Life is the Bubbles is giving away one magic bottle necklace of choice (up to $18 retail value) to one winner. Check the length of my nose if you think I'm lying! See? You really could win the Pinocchio jewelry above that's filled with glitter and wood shavings. Or let your conscience guide you to pick another pendant from dozens of other delightful designs inspired by Disney movies. <a href="http://blog.aquariann.com/2015/05/etsy-giveaway-jewelry-magic-bottle-necklace.html...

Don't fall like an icicle, but I may have been the last Disney fan to finally see the Frozen movie last weekend. Although it didn't make my top 10 list for animated films, I was definitely dazzled by all the sparkly snow scenes. I'm not wishing away summer after the harsh winter we had, but I couldn't resist searching Etsy for famous quotes from the movie. These silver snowflake necklaces shone brightly in a blizzard of Frozen jewelry. 1. LET IT GO Disney's Frozen Magical Snowflake Charm Necklace by Life is the Bubbles 2.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Francine Anchondo for submitting the randomly-chosen 1493rd entry. Summer is here, but you won't catch me sunbathing for long! I usually last less than 5 minutes (and that's after slathering my fair skin with at least SPF 70 sunscreen) at the beach before cooling off in the ocean. Come on in, the water's fine - Life is the Bubbles is giving away a $35 gift card to their Disney-inspired shop. Follow Dory's advice to just keep swimming and you'll find even more adorable bottle jewelry like the Nemo necklace above. Whether you prefer to hang out under the sea with Ariel or sail above the waves with Captain Hook, there's plenty of summer fun to have with the Disney crew.

Sleeping Beauty was my first favorite Disney movie, until Aladdin and his magic carpet charmed my chubby heart at age 10. Aurora's beauty and magically color-changing gown may have impressed me as a child, but as I grew older, I found myself rooting for Maleficent instead. But you probably already guessed that she is now one of my favorite Disney characters, villain or not. She transforms into a dragon, for goodness' sake! Or shall I say evil's sake, considering she's the Mistress of All Evil? The new Maleficent movie better not disappoint me into breathing fire! I've been waiting for a live action film for years, and finally the release date of May 30 is only a month away. The occasion calls for dressing up, so I soared around Etsy in search of delightfully dark fashions for the premiere. (Or next Halloween, if you're not that daring during daylight. ;) These adult Maleficent costume accessories pushed their way past the prince and the brambles. 1. Handc...

Count the grains in a handful of sand and you may come close to how many times I watched The Little Mermaid movie as a child. My best friend and I knew every song by heart. Years later, when reading the Life is the Bubbles! shop name for the first time, Sebastian swam out of the dark abyss of my memory, enthusiastically singing the lyric from "Under the Sea." I coasted into the shop while searching for Pirates of the Caribbean jewelry , such as the Mermaid Tears necklace to the right, but dropped anchor when I saw the abundance of Disney-inspired treasure. Life is the Bubbles! is bursting with magic, from fairy tale necklaces to cartoon earrings to fashion scarves.
