I love the pin. I have never had anything that nice. I would love to win it! Thank you Mrs. T, I love to read about Mrs. O's style.
Three things I love, mrs-o.com, Alexis Bittar, and the First Lady's style...a perfect storm of style.
Congratulations on three years of wonderful postings. Enjoyed every minute of it!
A beautiful pin that reminds me of the dogwood tree that was in the front yard of my childhood home.
Simply divine, gorgeous, stunningly beautiful!
Very pretty. The dogwood blossom is such a classic shape, and symbol of spring. Don't know about the dark color, but I'm sure I could get used to it, 8-) A piece like this might even give me a reason to dress up occasionally, 8-) I did go to all the links, and looked around his website quite a bit. The "silver" and gunmetal colors are also very nice. For modern jewelry, I find his designs quite attractive. (I'm usually extremely traditional and minimal when it comes to jewelry. Also a huge klutz, so it's moderately dangerous for both me and the jewelry, just going through daily life!)
Gorgeous pin - I have a dogwood tree in my yard and it is beautiful in full bloom.
FLOTUS has inspired me to adorn my outfits with pins, so I'd love to add this one to my collection.
A great prize! I love all of the jewelry our Firsti Lady has worn by Bittar.
That pin is gorgeous.
Simply a gorgeous pin!
That pin is absolutely gorgeous!
What a pretty way to think of myself as tied to our inimitable First Lady; I should try to take her positive attitude with me into 2012!
Love the blog; love the pin! Thanks for everything you do and thanks to Alexis Bittar for donating such a lovely piece. :)
What a lovely tribute to Mrs. O this pin give-away is! Love it.
I have followed this website avidly for some years now from a distance I live in Ireland and am a great admirer of both Mrs and Mr Obama. This prize would be a terrific memento of them both and also of a a very informative website. Thank you. Keep up the good work
Also last week I unfortunately a sentimental brooch belonging to my mother, this one would go someway to easing the loss!
