Three years ago on January 29th, Sunny Rising was born. Originally I thought it would simply be a leather endeavor, but about 2 years ago I added silversmithing to the mix and thus a whole new thread of adventure began!
To celebrate the third year of being my own (sometimes unbearably stern) boss, I wanted to have a contest and offer you this as a prize as you've long traveled the road with me:
a $65.00 gift certificate to either shop, your choice upon winning!!
Woohoo!
All you need to do is leave a comment here: you get your name entered twice if you are following my blog (just let me know you follow in your comment).
I'll be on the road until the 7th of February, so keep those comments rolling and I'll draw a name when I get home
I cannot wait to be on that desert highway watching the landscape change.... Tucson, here I come!
xoxoxo,
A

oooooh i'm here, and i most definitely follow your blog! :)
thank you for being so darn fantastic and inspirational...your talent is a blessing!
Congratulations Allison! This is a great accomplishment, it is no easy task running one's own business but I think it is really worth it.
I think I am jealous again that you are going to AZ. My best college friend is there and we always had so much fun. I hope you have time to see the organ pipe cacti, and the hummingbird sanctuary and desert landscape, maybe even a roadrunner.
You are very generous too.
Safe trip and enjoy!
xo
I can't pass that up, and I follow!
I'm also right behind you on the road to Tucson...I leave Saturday morning :)

Yaaay!! Happy! I will have to wear my koi tomorrow in celebration.
And of course I follow your blog. You are so much fun.
Congrats Allison!!! I'm proud to follow your blog and your talented crafts :)
Have a terrific trip and safe travels to you. I've always enjoyed a good road trip myself. The open road and fresh air always do the body and mind a great deal of good. Enjoy!
Congrats A! 3 years!

I so love my koi, and look forward to wearing many more of your wonderful creations!

I just discovered your etsy shops & your blog. LOVE! Hook me up! I'm on a very strict spending diet. It's really quite pitiful. I could use a little special surprise! :-)
Congratulations on three years' labors and loves, and best wishes for those yet to come!
And of course I follow you. But you knew that already. :) xo.

SHAZAM MISS! Three Years! It is a HUGE accomplishment to wield the reins of your own business, corraling all that inspiration into your own two hands, so congratulations are in order!

Congratulations Allison! I've only just "discovered" your shop and blog this year. I'm inspired and dazzled by what I see :-). Here's to many more years of living your desires.
P.S. You might want to pop in to see Rochelle's blog--a nice surprise ;-)
Aw, Sunny, yay! Congratulations. I've long admired your work and will someday own a fabulous piece of yours. Leather or metal, I can't decide. :)
I've been a follower and will continue to be - your blog makes me happy!
Hey Allison, I follow your blog and love your leather shop. Congratulations on 3 years! Thanks for your thoughtfulness and hard work!
Yay- how exciting! And congratulations on three years :). I've followed your blog for awhile now and I love it (though I'm often shy to comment). You are a ray of sunshine- a real day brightener- thank you for that.
Oh and how I want to give that cat of yours a good smooch and head bump. He is too sweet for words! (Maybe you can give him one of each for me :))
Have a great time on your trip!
Shannon

Happy Birthday, Allison! Your pieces (leather and metal alike) are always beautifully made! :)
And of course I follow your blog!
Congratulations sunny!! I always sneak in for a quick peak every morning with my toast and tea.
Hello! I'm still looking forward to buying a koi for my sister's 30th birthday. I'll send a note through conversations when you are back.
I haven't followed your blog, but I've followed your etsy shop since I first saw your vine cuff and mallow flower necklaces!! hope you are having an amazing time in Tucson.
Happy Anniversary! I found your silver etsy shop through Lil Fish Studio's favourites, and you have some lovely items in your "sold" selection! (I managed to find you while you're on vacation, and so can't check your "for sale" items.)
i follow your blog and love both shops!!
congrats on two succesful businesses :)
I've been following vicariously through Umber and Plume, but now I am officially following you! I saw Umber's necklace and I knew it was getting near time for me to invest in some of your delicious leather.
Keep up your dreams, A.
MME.
I thought if I didn't comment, you couldn't say thanks Ladies and Dave....
Enjoy your journeys... last night we had an absolute fantastic house concert with The Pines.
Sunny, I love your work, and I love following you! Have lots of fun in the desert!
Hi Sunny! Your sissy Julie, who happens to be my favorite stylist, showed me the beautiful purse and cuff you made for her. She told me about your site and I am so excited to order some things upon your return. Your work is stunning and I love the Etsy video. You have a beautiful soul.
Hope your trip was great.
Elizabeth Mullen
Love your jewelry and your blog! Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to you, dear Allison, and have a lovely trip. I'm drooling at the thought of all the cabochons you will be ogling...
Mmmmmm, cabs.....
;)
xoxoxo
Oh, and I follow your blog joyfully!!
Ooh I am all for this, count me in!
And it looks like you and I have similar cats! We have a flame point siamese mix named Clover, currently passed out next to me on the couch haha.
Congratulations on your business anniversary; that is so exciting!!
Way to go --kudos to you! I will be wearing my pieces (like some other customers) in honor of your anniversary....like I need an excuse??!! Thanks for all that you do....like this contest for example. Please count me in as a blog reader also :-D.
you are amazing and so incredibly inspiring...all the more reason as to why i follow you on your bloggin' journeys...!! i will also be in tucson for the gem and mineral show, but it appears we will just be missing each other! I start my adventure on the 10th! such a shame that we couldn't cross paths amidst the jaspers and opals~!
Hi Allison, It would be a riot if I won. Congrats on 3 yrs!
