SBS: May 29

Happy Saturday, everyone!

It's time for another weekly installment of Saturday Blog Shoppers.


SBS is a blog-ring that uses one hub to link a group of blogs that has a sale every Saturday. So grab your coffee and prepare to find some great deals! Also, if you're a seller with a blog, feel free to join the team!

Today for my SBS sale, I'm offering 25% off all necklaces! 
Just mention "SBS" in the note to seller or in a convo. I'm showing some of the necklaces you can find in my shop below, among many others.
Happy Saturday and thanks for stopping by!
