In what can only be a natural progression of any craftsperson's journey in 2025, I find myself typing the words "Instagram giveaway." Not because I've developed a sudden urge to become a social media maestro, but because local markets would like proof that people want to buy my jewelry. Fair enough!
Full disclosure: My Instagram has been, shall we say, more of a digital sketchbook than a proper portfolio. The kind you flip through once every few months when inspiration strikes. But since the path to market vendor status seems to run through consistent social media presence (ah, modern commerce), I'm committing to regular updates. Consider this giveaway my somewhat reluctant but earnest step into proper Instagram participation.
So here we are, doing the thing. And since we're doing it, we might as well do it in the most straightforward way possible.
Follow my Instagram @zoiemade by February 28th to win this sterling silver ring ($175 value). Think of it as our collective nod to the reality of digital marketing but with jewelry as the silver lining. 😉
The need-to-knows:
- Follow @zoiemade by 11:59 PM ET on February 28th
- No Instagram? Lucky you! Comment on this post or restack it for your entry
- Winner selected and announced in my next newsletter (March 9th) + on Instagram
- Ships to US addresses only
- Available in full sizes 5-12
- Each ring is made to order, so expect 2-3 weeks for shipping!

Is this how one becomes a market vendor in 2025? Signs point to yes. At least we're in it together.
Best of luck, and I'll see you soon!




So so thrilled for you. I have been eagerly (perhaps TOO eagerly) awaiting your launch of this business. Can't wait to be a huge cheerleader to you.
So excited about this!
