TOTW: My Burnish "BARF" necklace (& giveaway)

I know this is the second TOTW this week but I have a lot of things I would like to recommend and in lieu of a holiday gift guide I'm going to be throwing all sorts of awesome recommendations (and giveaways) your way these next few weeks because you guys make rad stuff and gift guides are too much for me to put together because I get confused and overwhelmed and itchy on my neck part.

So. Allow me to haphazardly recommend things I love made by awesome people (everyone has been vetted for proof-of-awesome, btw) from now until the end of the year.

First up? Burnish via Etsy: a store I found after searching (everywhere) for the perfect "mother of four" necklace that didn't look insane with all the charms everywhere. I wanted something simple, elegant and appropriate for every day that could become a part of me -- something I could sleep in and shower in and never take off BFF. And then BAM I FOUND IT BAM:

I purchased the necklace immediately, complete with B-A-R-F charms (AFBR) and since its arrival, last year, have not taken it off.

(Well. Unless you count the time I broke it in a bizarre unfolding-the-stroller-incident, but I was able to send it back to be fixed and my necklace and I have since been reunited and now we are sitting here together composing this post, the end, happily ever after.)

Perfect, right? I know! And super affordable as well. (Four hand-stamped charms for $49? Brilliant.) This holiday season, I'll be purchasing this necklace for some of the mamas in my life (including one of you! woo!) To win? Tell me whose initials you'd hang around your neck. I'll pick one winner via disqus randomizer on Monday, November 26th!

Good luck to all and much love to you and your BARF, whomever they are.

P.S. This is what was happening below/around the photo crop as I attempted to "artfully" display my necklace against bursts of joyous sunlight.

UPDATED: Congrats to Kathleen for winning the burnish necklace and thank you all so much for participating!
