Love to Run Pendant Giveaway
I am really excited about this giveaway! A few weeks ago, I was thinking about how much I love my “running gal” necklace I purchased myself from Tarma Designs in 2008.

“I should contact Tarma Designs and see if they will give away a piece of jewelry for my website!” I thought. That thought was immediately followed by “yeah, right.” I have tried contacting companies I like to see if they will sponsor giveaways and have had no luck.
But, by chance, I got Tarma Design’s monthly newsletter in an email the next day, and took it as a sign that I should contact them… which I did, and they immediately replied that they would be happy to have me select a piece to give away! They even looked at my site a bit and we chatted about Chicago architecture.
So, I selected the “Love to Run” Pendant!
Here is the description from the Tarma Designs website:
Tarma’s Love To Run series offers a new cast collections that’s lightweight and fun to wear. Can also be worn as an anklet. Pendant is about the size of a dime on a 2 mm cord with Adjustable Button Toggle. The pendant is 316L recycled stainless steel (min 60% post consumer content). The RePly cord comes from recycled PET bottles made in the same mill that produces Patagonia’s recycled fleece program.
I found out about Tarma Designs from an ad in the back of Runner’s World. I was intrigued by their focus on spirit and adventure in their jewelry and also by their earth-friendly manufacturing process, re-use of materials and shipping methods. I’m sure if you check out their site, you will find many beautiful pieces you love!
So, how do you enter this awesome giveaway? Read below!

I have to say love the simple running gal pendant. So cute!
Love the idea kim! I am gonna check them out and see if they have one that says “I am crazy and ride my bike on a freezing cold day” oh wait that’s a bit too long for a necklace.. 😉
Very cute. I like the running gal pendant too!
Whoo! I’m in! 😀 I really like the 2-fish pendent in the Nature section. I’m a pisces and lurve fish and sea animals.
“tell me what your favorite piece of jewelry is from the website” … just one??!! Nooooo there are SO MANY I would LOVE to own!! Gosh darn it do you think I can sucker ummm I mean talk the hubby into a belated V-Day present(s)? LoL!
Okay here are the top 3 that totally caught my eye/heart:
– the Om Drop Pendant
– the Turtle Pendant
– the Wave Pendant
And I am totally blogging about this too … just gimmie a day or two 🙂
Oh but don’t enter me in the contest, in the off chance I would actually win, I’d rather the pendant go to someone else who really wants it .. my eyes are on one/all of the three above *big evil grin!*
🙂

I think I like the running gal pendant the best.
I love the love to run, but a close second is the triathlon pendant. What beautiful stuff. I am going to bookmark that site for sure!
my favorite is the running gal necklace sand blasted. simple and cute!
While I love the running designs, I’m also kind of in love with the yoga designs. In particular, I really like the Warrior Woman pose.
I’ll link to this giveaway this Friday in my Replay post. I’ll come back then to let you know!
I’m not just saying this, but my fave on their website is actually the necklace you picture above (“heart to run”). Really cool stuff. Fingers crossed!
I linked to the giveaway! http://jennyruns.blogspot.com/2010/02/sunday-long-run.html
What a neat giveaway! I think these earrings are super cute! I could totally see myself wearing them in a race as a good luck charm.
Great giveaway. I love the “love to run” necklace.
What a beautiful necklace. I love the “Love to Run” necklace the most. Simple and yet so pretty!
I like the running ones but I think I would go with a TRI one…ahh…I don’t know!! It is tough to make a decision before I know 🙂
I will link on my next post!
My favorite is the Running gal necklace on a chain, but I really like the “love to run” necklace 🙂
I linked the giveaway on my sidebar under giveaways and will mention it in my next post – later today!
so cool! iv’e wondered how bloggers manage to score giveaways like that, sounds like a bit of initiative goes a long way! i’m too chicken to approach a company though :(. maybe soon! i love the cast lotus necklace, so pretty
I love your necklace — so cute! But I’m not a runner… I think I’d go for the wave or dove pendant.

Stopping by from SITS and wishing you a great week 🙂
Oh I love their stuff! Beautiful!
I am linking you now.
I think my fave would be something from the Cairn collection as it reminds me of the small steps we take everyday to chip away at a larger goal and slowly but consistently we get there.
I love the wave pendant– what a neat company! I’m going to keep their address for the future 🙂
i fancy either the running man or the om pendant 22″. headed over to my site to blog about your blog and the contest!
just blogged about it! YAY! 2….. 🙂
I like the “love to run” pendant the best, though I also really liked the pretty snowflake ones in the “Winter” section. That’s cool that the company was so receptive to your give-away idea!
I really liked the wave pendant, but the running one was definitely my favorite! Great giveaway!
I love the “Love to Run” and the turtle in the Spiral section. Thanks for introducing me to a new site. 🙂
I really like the Running Gal Necklace!
I really love the heart spiral earrings!
I love the “love to run” necklace and all of the beautiful yoga jewelry; specifically, the “om” pendants and the lotus pendants. 🙂
i linked back!
OMG the Om, Namaste, or Chakra YOGA jewelry is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!!!!!! I would love to win this one, thank you for the chance!
Very cute pendant! I also really liked the chakra charm bracelet. And I LOVE the fact that their products are made from recycled materials! Great giveaway, Kim!
My dear the jewelry is amazing! I can’t choose one but would probably order the entire running and yoga collection which is incredibly gorgeous!! This is such a fabulous giveaway, thanks! I have to check if I can order some products from here. Which -on the other hand- would probably a bad idea and ruin me ;).
Kim! What a great idea! I like the leaf earrings found in the nature section. But don’t put me in the running for the necklace since I’m not much of a runner. I’m going to head back to the site and look at more of their stuff – very cute!
The glass collection is beautiful…but if I have to pick one, It would have to be the “love to run”….because, sometimes I need a gentle reminder that I really do love to run 🙂
That poo story was AMAZING!!!
I LOVE the running charm bracelet.
Ohhh thanks for the heads up!
I think the running gal pendant is my favorite too!
My favorite is the “Running Gal” pendant. Too many great pieces of jewelry. What a great site!
