Ears deserve some pretty Valentines too! It’s *GIVEAWAY* time!

If you read my blog, you know how strongly I feel about Harry Mason and his earrings. And if you don’t? Well, shame on you. Now go sit in a corner and write at least one hundred times I WILL READ THIS BLOG EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE UNTIL I DIE. AND IF THERE IS A HEAVEN, LET IT HAVE FREE WI-FI.

Know where Harry’s been for the past several weeks?

Hawaii.

Jealous much? I am. Because I am currently staring at a frozen white tundra of hell outside my window. And just because I’m staring at it through the prism of 376 enormous icicles doesn’t make it any prettier.

These are the new Spinfinity Spirals from Harry. Are they not gorgeous? I would call him up to give him a high-five over the phone but he’s not taking calls. You can’t take calls when you’re busy snorkeling in the Pacific.

I, on the other hand, am at liberty to take all the calls I want since I am not snorkeling. That’s one of the benefits of being surrounded by a frozen white tundra of hell.

Aren’t these lovely? They make me want to actually get dressed so I can look pretty while not snorkeling in a frozen white tundra of hell.

Harry’s probably sitting on the Black Sands Beach in Maui.

Harry and me, we’re polar opposites!

Get it? Polar? As in arctic? As in *brrrrrrr*?

I slay me!

Get it? Slay? As in “sleigh?”

Nevermind.

Aloha Harry! By the way … THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Sorry I’m shouting. Just want to make sure you heard me over the roar of the ocean and tinkling of ice cubes.

Guess what? I went to Hawaii in the eighties. I think I was fifteen? Sixteen, maybe? My father used all of his frequent flier miles to fly our family first class to Hawaii to visit my sister. We flew on a 747 which is basically a cruise ship with wings. I ate steak on real china and sipped champagne from real crystal and made out with Kevin, the hot male flight attendant who had no idea he was contributing to the delinquency of a minor at the time. This would be the same Kevin who refused to contribute to the delinquency of another minor, specifically my twin brother Tino, who had also requested champagne and who was promptly denied the same by Kevin because (1) my twin brother was obviously underage; (2) Kevin was a few fries short of a Happy Meal; and (3) Kevin was busy nuzzling my neck.

I found this pretty funny but Tino did not and as he sat on his own overstuffed couch, he glared at me. I think he wanted to squeal on me and tell my parents that their jailbait young daughter was being groped and plied with alcohol, albeit willingly, but my parents were sitting in the row in back of us which was about two miles away and the seatbelt light was on.

We stopped off in Vegas where I was allowed into the same casino that barred Tino because he was underage so while I played the slots for a bit, Tino glared at me from the sidewalk, stomped offĀ  and shortly thereafter got propositioned by a prostitute which mollified him a bit.

By the way, you can send all nasty emails about my parents’ lack of supervision on this trip directly to my mother. She needs something good to read. Her library sucks.

Some of Harry’s classic Ear Spirals. Pure yumminess.

Hey Harry, did you go to Mount Kilauea? Isn’t it surreal? It erupted in 1983, almost exactly one year after I stood right on top of it, and it’s still erupting today.

I now repeat the affirmation I AM NOT A JINX, I AM NOT BAD LUCK each and every time I look in the mirror. I’m not sure the good people of Hawaii believe me though. It’s hard to remain positive, considering I’ve been put on the No-Fly list for any destination susceptible to natural disasters.

I don’t get out much.

And yes, as a matter of fact, I do happen to live on the east coast even though you can’t see a lot of our pretty states because old man winter threw up all over us.

I AM NOT A JINX, I AM NOT BAD LUCK.

Some of Harry’s Ear Fancys. Don’t you just love that name? It’s so completely appropriate, don’t you think?

We island hopped during our trip and while on Maui, we woke up at 3:00 a.m., and drove to Mt. Haleakala to see the sunrise because that is what tourists do when they visit Maui. It turned out to be a rare, gray, overcast morning and even though I’m quite sure the sun rose at some point somewhere in Maui that day, we never actually saw it.

I AM NOT A JINX. I AM NOT BAD LUCK.

We did, however, see the Silversword plant, a rare species of plant found only on Mt. Haleakala and which blooms only once in its lifetime before it dies. None were in bloom while we were there.

I AM NOT A JINX. I AM NOT BAD LUCK.

Now that I am the ripe old age of 43, I’m sure I would appreciate the simple beauty of the unbloomed Silversword plant. But to a fifteen/sixteen year old, it was totally not worth waking up at 3:00 a.m., to stare at what amounted to a silver chia pet on top of a freaking cold mountain.

Some of Harry’s ear threads. These are so cool. I think they’d look fantastic with shorty short punkified hair. Which means I might have to get myself a pair soon, much to my family’s dismay.

Oh, and while on Maui, we drove the road to Hana. For those of you unfamiliar with this feat, the road to Hana is a misnomer in that it’s not so much a road as it is a fifty mile stretch of WHAT IN THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE? HOLY SHIT, WHERE’S THE ROAD? WHERE’D IT GO? OH MY GOD, A CAR’S COMING. BACK UP, BACK UP, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BACK UP! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE. PLEASE STOP THROWING UP ON ME. The entire route is the shape of a giant herniated intestine, teetering on the edge of approximately 732 Holy Mother of God cliffs.

The road to Hana is an exercise in “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey” and if you can stand to open your eyes, the views are stunning and breathtaking. Provided you have any breath left for the taking, what with all the hyperventilating and myocardial infarctions going on. And at the end, you can even buy yourself a “I Survived the Road to Hana” t-shirt!

Please just remember one thing … you have to drive back.

People always forget that.

Total eye candy. Ear candy? Oh, what the hell. It’s a multiple eargasm. We’re all adults here, right? Let’s just call it like we see it, shall we?

I’ll leave you with a couple more memories of my Hawaii trip. My sister took my brother and me to see Stevie Wonder in an outdoor concert on Oahu. It was my first concert ever and even though Paul McCartney didn’t show up to sing Ebony and Ivory like we had hoped, it was still awesome.

Not quite as awesome as seeing my sister’s two roommates the next day as they came bursting out of their bedroom right after having sex, he shirtless and she pantless, as we all stood there speechless and, in the case of my parents, clueless.

So … what’s up for grabs?

.

One person will win a $100 shopping spree to Harry Mason Designer Jewelry, at his online shop or at any of his stores! If you love Valentine’s Day, buy yourself something nice to celebrate. If you’d rather gouge your eyes out with a spork than celebrate anything related to Valentine’s Day, go ahead! Then scream SCREW YOU, CUPID and buy yourself something nice to distract your attention from your bleeding eyeballs. It’s all good!

Oh, and don’t forget to use Harry’s wishlist feature. Comes in very handy if you were born with a short term memory that is measured in nano seconds.

***WE INTERRUPT THIS POST FOR A SPECIAL BULLETIN ***

If you do not win on Monday, all is not lost. Harry is offering a $25 shopping spree with any $100 purchase to all entrants. Simply email Harry at harry mason @ harry mason . com (delete the spaces, please!) and include a copy/paste of the comment you entered in this post. Make sure to put “BIGO” in the subject line so he knows you’re not spam. Isn’t Valentine’s Day hard enough without being mistaken for a stinky gelatinous pile of mystery meat?


The scoop:

  • To enter, leave a comment in this post and tell me one place you’d like to go for a vacation. Are you a snow bunny? A sun worshipper? A spelunker? Would you like to trek through the Amazon? If so, what the hell is the matter with you? ARE YOU AWARE THERE ARE GINORMOUS BUGS THERE? As for me? I’d like to go on a cruise. I don’t care where it sails to since I don’t intend to ever leave the buffet.
  • Anyone 18 or older can enter. Wouldn’t you like to be 18 again? I mean, just in body only? Not in mind. God forbid. If you think I was stupid at 15/16, you should have seen me at 18.
  • The shopping spree expires thirty days from winner notification.
  • Winner must confirm notification within 48 hours or I’ll have to choose an alternate. Please don’t let that happen! It makes me ill. I’ve already thrown up several times this week thanks to the stomach bug. At this rate, I’ll reach my goal weight in approximately 47 minutes but it won’t matter because I’ll be dead. Skinny but dead nonetheless.
  • If you have trouble setting limits, like me, you can spend more than $100 and simply apply the $100 to your total due.
  • No entries after 9:00 pm eastern time on Sunday, February 14, because HELLO? That is VALENTINE’S NIGHT! And if everything goes according to plan, I will be sacked out on the couch in my jammies watching the Olympics and unable to speak because my mouth will be broken from the sheer amount of chocolate covered caramels I fully intend to stuff into it.
  • I will use Random.org to choose the winner. Random.org treats everyone equally. In fact, I bet my nine year old wouldn’t mind it being her mother because then she’d be able to watch a PG-13 movie too, just like her older sister.
  • One entry per person, please! Your comment might go into moderation for a bit but it will show up! Multiple entries from one person make me want to hurl and if this week is any indication, I can hurl stuff the likes of which you have never seen.
  • I’ll announce the winner on Monday!

That’s it!

Maika’i Pomaika’i! I think that’s Good Luck in Hawaiian, but for all I know, I might have just called you a crooked kumquat. I’m sorry. I don’t know what I’m doing.

I’ll leave you with some sage advice Harry emailed me:

If it weren’t for the outfit, I’d be a bit suspicious that Larry the Cable Guy is hiding somewhere in Harry’s family tree.

    LMAO at your *very accurate* description of the Road to Hana!!! Speaking of Maui…that’s is where I would love to be right now because I, too, live in a state that becomes the “white tundra of hell” for 5 months of the year, a.k.a. Wisconsin. And Cupid can suck it as far as I’m concerned, too, so let’s just say some earrings would really warm this girl’s heart right about now!!

    I love the snow!! But only watching it snow outside, while I sit nice and warm reading a book. šŸ™‚

    BTW you are the reason I love Harry Mason! I got some of his snowflake earrings for Christmas and wore them non stop as long as decently possible. Now I need some new ones to wear throughout the year!

    You are all going to hate me, but I’m so over summer down here that I think I’d like to go to Alaska and wallow in some snow please. I’d have to wear the earrings just to draw attention away from my snow suit which I’m sure would make me look like the Michelin Man, but who cares at least I’d be cool.

    I would want to go to Europe and go on a brewery tour in Belgium and Germany. And then I would go to Ireland and drink my face off with some natives who drink for a living. Maybe somewhere in this trek I’d stop by Paris and check out le tour d’eiffel as well. šŸ˜€

    We have the trip planned – but will have to save to do it. A train trip through Europe – Starting in the UK, through the Chunnel, Paris to the Germany, a few stops in Germany and then ending in northern Italy….a dream of a trip, and oh, I need new earrings to go with my loverly traveling clothes!

    I ‘d love to just be able to GO somewhere for vacation, not really concerned with where. I would travel (if I had the funds) anywhere and everywhere and take photos of everything I see. Ireland, Africa, South America, even parts of the US I haven’t been to yet. There are so many things to see and photograph!

    I would love to go to a dude ranch out west. I too am in the frozen tundra of the east!! I love the snow and I have to secretly enjoy it now. Everyone else is bemoaning the snow. I think a dude ranch would be so much fun. I haven’t been to Montana since I was 16. Love the big sky country!!

    oh my gosh the heart ones are stunning!
    vacation…. well since I live in Canada I’m going some where warm! anywhere, don’t care, I’lll even brave bugs!

    Vacation? Hmm.

    I love the snow. And we’ve been, um, blessed with lots this winter in Pennsylvania. And when we flew out to Arizona for vacation we were blessed with snow there! Yes, snow in Arizona!

    So, as much as I’ve enjoyed the snow, I would like to try something refreshingly warm. Something with crystal blue waters. Something with cute drinks with umbrellas in them served to me on a hammock strung between two palm trees while I listen to the gentle crashing waves. While, of course, I’m wearing a pair of Harry’s earrings.

  16. Avatar

    I would love to go anywhere where I don’t have to clean anything or cook anything. Someplace where the biggest decision of the day is what time to get up and what time to eat. Someplace warm, but not too hot. Someplace where I get to wear Harry Mason’s scrumptious earrings.

  17. Avatar

    I don’t care where, just send me some place warm. With a beach. I want there to be a pool next to the beach so that I don’t have to get sand in the itcy places. And I want a fruity drink, or ten. I want to wear a swimsuit, but be inebriated enough not to care about the celulite and pasty skin and stretchmarks. I want young men in white uniforms to refresh my fruity drink. I want a swim up bar and I want to be sunburned. I want my husband to be bored out of his ever-loving mind because we don’t do anything but sit next to the pool, next to the beach, nursing just the right amount of sloppy grin buzz. This is the fantasy I have every day.

    I would be in Maui in a hot second. Sorry that you are in the frozen tundra. We have just been having rain and more rain and dreary winter.

  19. Avatar

    I would LOVE to load up the husband and daughter and drive West. Spending about 2 weeks just going where the wind takes us. No definite plans, no real destination. Seeing small towns and large cities along the way. Learning interesting things about the different areas. I think that would be the best ever vacation. Oh the places we would go, and the things that we would see, not to mention the memories we would make :o) Sigh….

    We saved to go to Hawaii on our honeymoon 22 years ago… Ended up using the money for a downpayment on our first house instead. Would definitely love to visit there some day to see what we missed! BTW this is the first time I’ve ever seen Harry Mason’s jewelry– and I think it’s love at first sight!!!

    The earrings are gorgeous and while we’re fantasizing about stuff, I’d love to be wearing them on a vacation where there is a white sandy beach and turquoise waters. I’m thinking the Bahamas, but really am not too fussy!

    Wow! Those earrings are BEAUTIFUL! I’d kill for them. Ok, maybe not kill….but I’d gladly risk causing a natural disaster and being put on a no-fly list for them! šŸ˜‰ I’ve never been to Hawaii, and while I’d love to go some time, my real dream destination involves ginormous rocky mountains with snow on top of them…..lots of them…everywhere. Pick British Columbia (even though I’ve been there twice already)…..or heck, I’ll even taken Montana! šŸ™‚

    I would love to go to Hawaii. Hopefully someday! Alaska is also on my someday list. DH & I were just talking about going on a cruise, probably the Carribean, for our 25th wedding anniversary next year (OMG where did that time go?!?). I would love a pair (or 2 or 3) of Harry’s earrings! Sure would be nice to win them!

    Wow, these earrings are GORGEOUS!! The ear spirals have to be my favorite.
    I would love to be on a cruise to Alaska. I have been on a couple to the Caribbean and my favorite part of cruises is you get to see beautiful landscapes, but get to relax while doing it.

    I would absolutely LOVE to go to Ireland. It always looks so green, and the castles look amazing. I imagine it as a place where you can go site-seeing, learn some history, experience a new culture and yet still have fun by going to a Pub or some local festival. But then New Zealand would be great too. It would be like visiting Australia without the snakes!

    If I could go on vacation I would love to take a cruise again!!! I guess I would have to take the kids but they have so much for them to do on the ships now that we would probably never see them and we would get the credit for taking them. Although my kids would say a week later. . . we never do anything FUN!! gotta love it!!! I Love the earrings!!!

    I would like to go to Edisto Island and just sit by the beach and watch the waves! Oh, and while we’re fantasizing, it would be exactly 70 degrees and I’d be drinking my favorite drink called, appropriately, Sex on the Beach [the drink, not the shooter].

    I would love to go on a cruise to Alaska, or to sit on a beach in Hawaii, or on an Australian adventure. Those are my big three vacation goals.

    I bought two pairs of Harry’s earings the last time you featured them, and I LOVE them. I think I need some that are slightly longer than those I bought, and maybe a bit bolder. Or maybe some ear threads, those are very cool. I hope I win this shopping spree, I love his stuff so much!

    I would love to win because I love shopping and love the jewelry. Take my mom on a cruise to Alaska, go to Ireland because we are Irish and the third would be Australia to visit my best friend who I have not seen in years and miss dearly. Hope to win. šŸ˜‰

    ooooooooooooooooo look at all those pretties. I’d love some new earrings since the once i normally wear have disappeared thanks to my 4 year old, and daddy doesnt see the need for them to be replaced. BTW, did i mention he is wearing 3 of my gold earrings? hmph.

    So for vacation? i’d have to say Florida. Havent been in 13 years. In fact i havent been on a vacation in 13 years. Living in the frozen north is having me dreaming of some sunshine.

    My idea of a wonderful vacation is a cruise across the Atlantic. I’d fly to Europe, spend a couple of days exploring an interesting city in Europe, then enjoy a week of total relaxation at sea.

    I am starting to think that reading your blog is like taking drugs, and at least in this case I TOTALLY love it!

    So I don’t wear earrings because anything I stick in the holes causes them to swell and emit fluid…oh wow…umm…

    And yeah, you didn’t enter mine. But, it was measly little soaps…maybe you don’t bathe but, I won’t hold that against you…

    Wait what am I supposed to say?

    Oh. Um, I want to go back home, to the beach in Homer, Alaska. Because there are NO bugs, the beaches aren’t polluted, it’s about 60 degrees in the summer so all the wimpy tourists aren’t laying all over the barnacle-laden rocky beach and me and my fam can enjoy smelling like the sea and taking in the sites for a week, all. alone.

    If I win this I’m buying earrings for you. Make sure you tell the RNG that when you press the enter key…

    I love Harry’s earrings. I own several pairs of his earrings & have given several as gifts. I would say I would love to go anywhere the sunshines. Most likely Maui or the Caribbean. I really need a vacation I haven’t had one in about 8 years.

    I live in the most beautiful state in all of the U.S. But it seems that we are the “orphan” state to the “continental U.S.” The only place I’d rather be than here in Hawaii is in San Francisco!! I love the food, the people, the weather, the wharf, the Ghiradelli chocolate and especially the Harry Mason earrings!!! I own 3 pairs of spirals, one pair of threaders and four ear cuffs!! I’d love to own more so why not enter a contest giveaway??

    First let me say that I LOVE HARRY MASON JEWELRY – it is the only place wher I can get my ear cuffs that I love to wear!!! as to where I would like to go – that would have to be Ireland (England is a very, very close second and that seems appropriate seeing as how they are neighbors!) – I am 1/2 Irish and would love to see the land from whence my ancestors hale!!

    I want to go to the Impenetrable Forest in Bwindi and see the forest gorillas. It’s supposed to be awe-inspiring and scary, and the opportunity of a lifetime. Of course, I would wear my Harry Mason earrings, although if a silverback gorilla decided they’d look better on his “woman” I’d pee my pants and then hand them right over.

    I just lost my Mom on February 1, and a vacation without her is a hard Valentime to contemplate. If I were to enjoy any kind of vacation, in honor of her, it would have to be a cruise, something we always wanted to do, and would laugh about when we’d “cruise for an hour on the Cape May Ferry”…

    My Harry Mason earrings remind me of a wonderful trip to San Franciso with my mom. She purchased my ear spirals for me and we had a fun time chatting at the store. These earrings can’t be lost, even while on the seat of a Harley!

    I’d like to go to England because that’s where I’m from and I don’t get to see my elderly parents near often enough. Although if I want a lot of rain there’s always Seattle and the lack of a 9-hour flight. šŸ™‚ I’ve also never been to Australia, that sounds good too. Or I could combine a visit home to England with a side trip to some of the European countries I have yet to visit. Ooh, or how about Egypt, is it safe to travel there these days? For the record, I am the proud owner of half a dozen of Harry’s beautiful eargasms, a girl can never have too many eargasms!

    Greetings!

    Well, I would like to go to Catalina for a week. The ride over is accompanied by many dolphins racing along with you. The island peaceful…just little golf carts running all over the place. The Wrigley Memorial is not to be missed, not to mention the couple of miles to get there past the old Chicago Cubs field, the golf course, horse-riding stables, botannical gardens and that great BIG marble Wrigley Memorial with a couple of hundred steps up to the top, which then gives you a V view back to town and beyond in Avalon Bay.

    Gotta go…I think I’ll call the airlines!

    Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

They are returning to Maui for their 10th (sans 4 kids, all girls and future Harry fans), think I would love to go to Maui and bug the hell out of them. It would get me on a beach and away from the friggin cold/snow in Reno. Would also love to be on Pier 39 at Harrys place trying on some new stuff………….PICK ME……..

    I’m not much of a snow bunny, because when I finally went up to the mountains to learn snowboarding, playing in the snow was really boring. I didn’t like it at all. I like the beach, because it’s windy and sunny, but there’s really nothing to do either. I would like to go somewhere where the scenery is just breath taking. Most of the time when my family and I drive to the beach or the mountains it is BECAUSE of the beautiful scenery that we will be passing by on the way that I really look forward to, not the fact that we are going to the beach or mountains, but the breathtaking scenery. That’s why I would love to go to Ireland or New Zealand. I could walk for days just looking and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery and I’d be content.

    I’ve been dreaming of going to Italy for most of my life. So that’s where I’d like to go. I almost made it too. FIL offered to fly us there this coming spring, but then surprise! I’m pregnant.

    I would love to take a vacation to the Amazon. I know, I know, the insects there can probably carry my luggage, but I still want to go. At least before the companies down there cut down the entire jungle. Just going on vacation is wonderful. Getting out of town, whatever town you live in is the best. Harry Mason Earrings are so fantastic. My husband found the store for me a long time ago and let me buy all of the earring that I wanted. One time I think I walked out of the store with 20 pair of earrings. Still love them and they are so superior to the ones that copy his work. I am sure that I could use $100 to begin my shopping spree.

    OK – I’m sort of feeling badly about all of the snow in the rest of the U.S., but I’m secretly gloating that I was smart enough to ditch central Illinois and the constant ice storms in 1988 and move to southern California, i.e. PARADISE. Sometimes it actually gets cold enough to warrant wearing a jacket to work in the morning. That said, I do love to travel. I spend a month in Spain each summer and last summer I went to China, which was amazing! But I yearn to see South America, specifically Argentina and PerĆŗ.

    Those ear-fancies are yummy!! What won’t Harry think of next???? My most favorite-of-all-time vacation was about where Harry and Kathryn were standing….the beaches of Maui! I celebrated my 30th birthday there because, well, if you’re going to turn 30, better to do it in Maui!!!

    I’d like to go to Hawaii for vacation. It would be great to be able to just sit on a beach and relax with my hubby. We’ve had a long 5 years of illness and Hawaii would certainly help put those memories on the back burner with some new “gooder” ones :).

    I too live on the East Coast and am burried under a frozen tundra of hell. I am not so picky about where my vacation destination is….as long as it is sunny, warm, and I can order a tropical drink!! I’ll save the mountains for the summer time.

    Sorry, my email was wrong on previous comment:

    I would love to go on an African Sarfari and be in my tent or whatever and have an elephant or giraffe stride by within 50 yards or closer. I just love the big animals. That would be the coolest thing to me. I plan to complete this goal one day, I just need a travel buddy.

    I’m torn on this answer. On one hand I would love to go to Hawaii, have never been but would love to go take a dip in those crystal clear waters and swim with the dolphins. On the other hand I would love to go to Florida – Disney World and all those theme parks. We are big Disney fans and would love to see everything that area has to offer including Universal Studios park and man gotta go to those water parks, they look like a gas!

    Me and my hubby visited Oahu and Kauai last year for our 10th wedding anniversary. It was SOOOO awesome, we haven’t stopped talking about it. I highly recommend to anyone to visit there at least once in your lifetime. We went in April and the weather was beautiful. We hope to go back so my hubby can enjoy it without a cold as he did last year. But if you’re going to be sick, let it be in Hawaii relaxing on a beach with a nice breeze. Would love some earrings to ease my pain of not being in Hawaii šŸ™‚ this year.

    Well heck, I wouldn’t say no to a trip to Hawaii about now, either. Sounds fabulous. Lucky Harry. But he deserves it, considering the gorgeous earrings he makes and all. Thanks for the chance to win!

    Those earrings are breath taking….I could not choose which ones I liked the best because I love them ALL. And I would love to go anywhere….I have never been any where
    except my home town. Ans that is a small place too.

    We go to San Francisco about once a year and always visit Harry Masons store at Pier 39. At least one pair go home with me if not two. My very favorite earrings!!

    We love Hawaii and go at least once a year, but I would like to travel to Washington D.C. one of these times.

    My grandparents used to own a vacation home on the island of St. Thomas. Unfortunately, one year my grandma slipped and fell and had to be rushed back to the United States for surgery, and has has limited walking since then. They sold the house seven years ago, and I would do ANYTHING IN THE WORLD to go back. It was the same grandparents that bought me my very first pair of Harry Mason earrings (the niobium elephant earrings) five or six years ago on Pier 39, San Francisco.

    Love Harry’s spirals! Time for some new ones! I have been wearing them for years
    and once you learn how, they are very easy to put on. As for vacation places – the harder question is where wouldn’t I like to go! My list of places to see (or see again) include Italy, the Greek Islands, Iceland, Australia, Thailand, Lithuania…and closer to home, Florida, Yellowstone National Park, and the northeastern US in fall when the
    leaves are changing colors.

    Believe it or not, mine’s rather simple. Last year my husband and I took our kids on our first family vacay to (DRUMROLL) Tennessee! Okay, it doesn’t really sound glam..but we stayed in a gorgeous cabin nestled in the hills with an amazing view. It was just a wonderful and special time for us.

    I actually have been on vacation the last three weeks: I was in Northern Sweden, far behind the arctic circle. It was a minus 22 degrees fahrenheit!! And sooo much snow! I have never seen this before and it was really freezing cold! But amazing!!

    So now my next wish for a vacation is a much warmer place! I’d love to see now a hot beach where I only have to wear my bikini and nothing else. Therefore Hawaii or Australia might be my place!
    I am yearning for some sun an warm days!

    I’d love to go to Hawaii since it’s closer to me than Europe which is my other destination of choice. But if I had my vacation wish come true, then it would be to have 3 months to tour England, Scotland, Ireland, a bit of France, Germany and Italy. Do you think 3 months is enough time? That’s why it’s a dream vacation … because I don’t yet have time to make this one happen.

    Oh my goodness! There are so many different places I would go! I think I would have to go back to Italy for some of those fabulous wines and pastas! Granted, my waistline might not like it, but I sure as heck would! And I would be sure to take some of my fabulous Harry Mason earrings because I love ’em so much, and I always get comments on them when I wear them! I might have to get some ear fancies if I win the $100 shopping spree, since I don’t have any yet! šŸ™‚

    A vacation…..since I had a baby girl 13 months ago and was a big ol’ tired pregnant lady for the nine months previous to that…. I have nearly forgotten what that word means! Many sleepless nights makes me think that just one night alone in an Econolodge would be enough of a vacation if I could just get a few hours of sleep-without interruptions! Sleep….another word that has lost meaning…. But you know, as you are a mother yourself, I wouldn’t give it up for the world!

    I am intrigued by the spirals, but haven’t tried them yet. Ear wraps and cuffs are my thing. I’d like to vacation in Italy — Florence, Venice, Rome, Capri.

    Love the blog, and love the earrings! Probably my best ever holiday was in San Francisco – where I discovered Harry Mason earspirals! – in 2003. Was probably too well behaved though – Much more of a reprobate again now since I turned 40… (not sure how that happened, though…I never signed up to be a grown-up…it just kinda snuck up on me when I wasn’t looking…)

    There are only 1 place I would love to go…. Egypt. Though I have been there before while deployed with the US Army and I would love to spend more than a day sightseeing and actually go into the Giza Pyramids and Bazaars. Armed with a Digital camera and lots of memory cards I would be snapping pictures of everything and buy what I couldn’t last time.

    Hmmm I think I would like to be on a Mediterranean cruise with all of my lovely Harry Mason jewelry in tow with me! Of course one of the stops would be Italy. And all of the Italian men would want to nuzzle my ears and neck – I know they would be dying to get a closer view of my earrings! What do I care how I got them there??? The women would all become my friends just to learn where I got such beautiful jewelry! I would be loved by all that met me!!! Yes, I need a cruise in the Med…too many men and women that have never experience Harry Mason – I would be an HM Ambassador!! Yes I think I would make a great HM Ambassador – elegant parties each night where I could lwear my HM jewelry! Days of lazily sitting at side walk cafes where the sunlight would sparkle off my ear cuffs, spirals catching the sun rays as they move against my neck…ahh the very idea of just watching the Mediterrenean sunset with all of my HM jewelry aglow! What a dream eh? Cheers, Tee

    We rent a house in the vineyards outside of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario and spend our day wine tasting from vineyard to vineyard and then coming home for steaks on the grille. Throwing in a show at the Shaw Festival doesn’t hurt either. Anyone from the Eastern U.S. who hasn’t visited this area (stop in Niagra Falls but don’t stay there) is missing one of the best getaways you’d ever experience.

    Brr! Another dreary winter day here in Ontario. Hawaii tops my list of “places to see before I….”.

    Was just at Pier 39 in January and bought the Spinfinity earspirals and LOVE THEM! It wasn’t easy to decide on with so many beautiful choices. My best getaway (out from under 30″ of snow here in PA) would be the Galapagos Islands to observe all the amazing marine life that inhabit the area. Harry & Kathryn look so happy in their pictures from Hawaii ~ hmmm, could be my destination choice number two!

    I will be going on my dreamtrip in November, way up north to see the polar bears in Churchill, Canada! You may feel terrible being locked up in a white world, I am quite the oposit. Born and raised in a tropical paradise with lots of snorkling (no, not Hawaii, CuraƧao in the Caribbean Sea), I only got to see snow when I was older (though not as old as I am now, LOL). And guess what? Being deprived of that great white blanket when I was a kid makes me long for it now. I live in the Netherlands and this year we finally have a winter!!! Though it is just a mere two to three inches, I am thrilled… As to Harry’s earrings?? I happened upon his store when I visited San Francisco years ago, and though I already have quite a collection of his creations, a girl can never have enough spirals!

    I have been buying Harry Mason earrings and ear cuffs for 25 years. The spirals caught my eye and I have about 25 pair now. I am a total fan and wear the all of the time! Love the pix on your site – they are awesome! I would love to go to Dubai as it looks like a total fantasy world. Just a week there would rock my world. I love the island concept and water everywhere. Being a Pisces, water is in my blood. I am happiest when near water – whether it be by a pool, lake, river, creek, ocean, bath tub – so why am I in the desert??? Better than snow, I guess. Hope I am picked because I love Harry Mason!

    Europe in the spring would be a great trip! Any place below 80 in the summer would be even better; I hate the South during the summer! I found Harry’s shop while on a trip to SF in the early 90’s and now own at least 2 dozen pair of ear spirals. They are my favorite earrings. My daughter in law got her ears pierced in November just so she could wear ear spirals; we gave her a pair for Christmas.

Then over to Ireland to do a Rick Steves tour for 2 weeks. Then to Scotland to take a 7 day walk that includes a cruise across Loch Ness. Then to the Shetland Islands for a couple days. Spend a week or two visiting the larger Scottish cities. Then head south to Hadrian’s Wall, then to Stonehenge. Then spend the last couple weeks in and around London.

    I would love to go to a beach somewhere in Mexico. I need a break to just sit in the sun, be warm, have a few drinks every day, and relax. I have several pairs of Harry’s earrings. In fact, his wife sold me the last pair! I was so intent on choosing the best earrings that I didn’t even notice it was her. My friend who was with me told me as we left. Of course, I have several more pairs of earrings that I would love to own so winning this would really help me out.

    Although we are planning a Disney vacation this year, which I am looking forward to, I would really love, love, love to go back to Maui with my hubby. We went there for our honeymoon 18 years ago and were blessed to go again one other time. I think the third time’s a charm, right? At this point in our marriage, I would be happy to lie on the beach all alone reading a book while he enjoys the amazing golf courses. We could spend our evenings together of course! šŸ™‚

    My husband and I would love to visit Japan. We’re both of Japanese ancestry, so seeing where our grandparents and great-grandparents lived would be awesome!
    By the way, you were correct in your Hawaiian…Maika’i means excellent, goodness, or well-being…and Pomaika’i means good luck.

    I LOVE being near the water. I ADORE Maui and can’t wait to go back soon and as often as possible. I wish to retire there with my honey someday soon…

    I would LOVE to travel to New Zealand! I have always wanted to vacation there but became even more enamored with this beautiful land when I watched the AMAZING scenes in “Lord Of The Rings” on the big screen!

    I LOVE Harry Mason’s ‘spiral’ earrings!! I purchased a pair at the Harvest Festival last year. I wear them all the time! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this gift certificate!!!

    I suffer from Heidi Syndrome and have always wanted to visit the Swiss Alps. They even have motorcycle tours, that would be unbelievable. My Harry Mason Earrings go evrywhere with me. My favorite? The Sexy Hot Date earrings!
    There is no such thing as too many earrings so I could always use a $100 gift certificate to add to my many pair of Harry Masons!

    I have loved Harry Mason earrings ever since I bought my first cuffs at a Lincoln, NE summer festival in the ’80s. Now, every time we visit San Francisco, my husband purchases a special new pair of spirals for me and my two daughters.
    I want to go to Italy, badly! And if not there, back to the beautiful city of San Francisco.

    ummmm … will I be disqualified if I tell you more than one place where I’d like to vacation??? I’ve always wanted to take an Alaskan photography cruise … the beaches in southern France are calling, reminding me that I haven’t visited in 9 years … Santa Cruz, CA that I haven’t seen in 10 years … Venice, Italy, which I hope to visit before one of us disappears from this earth. The common theme is water and sunsets for me!

    I just want to make it down to San Diego, stopping off in San Francisco to see Katherine, without someone in our family DYING! Last Summer, we were on our way to San Diego to see our old friend and her husband and daughter. Just South of Gilroy, we received a message that my husband’s brother had finally perished from ALS. We were FLOORED! We immediately turned around and beat feet for home . . . Oregon City, Oregon. What a WILD DRIVE. Anyway, we just want to get to San Diego to visit our old friend. Nothing fancy. Just simple. BUT, we MUST stop off in San Francisco! No visit to California is complete without a visit to Harry Mason’s on Pier 13! I need to add to my collection of Harry’s wonderful jewelery!

    If I could go anywhere it would be a South Sea island, like Tahiti or Bora Bora. I went on a Pacific cruise with my parents when I was 3, so I’ve been all these exciting places I don’t remember at all, and I’d like to go back now that I can appreciate it.

    Honestly, I want to go to Disneyland in California. I haven’t been there since I was 12 and I feel like reliving some childhood dreams. Plus, the line was so long for the Pirates (this was before the movies) that my family decided to eat some churros instead…mmm, churros.

    Hubby’s 1/2 Korean and hasn’t been to Korea since he was a kid, so that’s where we would head. He’s told me so many stories of living in Seoul and Puson as a kid and the area sounds fascinating! Besides, it will be a hoot to watch him try to communicate with everyone over there, considering the only Korean words he remembers refer to food or are curse words!

    I would absolutely love a vacation in Florence Italy, soaking up the sunshine with some great Italian food and wine. I bought my first pair of Harry Mason earrings in San Francisco. I have had nothing but compliments on them and have more than one friend purchase their own since seeing mine. Would love to own another pair or two or three. And San Francisco is awesome, would love to go back there sometime too. However, I would never pass up Hawaii, or to scuba in Aruba and I’ve heard the British Virgin Islands are beautiful too….oh, so many destinations so little time.

    I fell in love with Harry Mason spirals at least10 years ago. They are so much fun to wear, and so comfortable. I always have a hard time choosing when I go shopping online, and I love sharing the pamphlets, too. I WANT TO GO TO HAWAII!!! Why: It is freezing here in Michigan, and the sun has been hiding behind a dirty grey sky most of the time. Besides, one of our nieces is now stationed there.

    we just got back from Maui and had a great time! As everybody else I LOVE Harry’s earring! I probably have 15 different ones and always get a comment when I wear one becasue they are so unusal…that’s what makes them so fun to wear!

    Those earrings are stunning! I’ve never seen anything like them (but I live in Wisconsin-that explains things!!) šŸ˜‰
    If I could go to one place, it would be to revisit Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I was there twice for conventions and when I daydream, I feel the warm sun on my face, hear the oceans rhythmic waves, smell the delicious beachside cookouts and see absolutely gorgeous views of palm trees, blue water and miles of sand. Love it there!!

    Being in upstate NY, I would love to be anywhere warm! I love the beach, any beach as long as there is sand and sun and the ocean. People up here who call the strip of land next to a lake a “beach” just don’t understand!

    I would like to go to Pennsylvania for vacation. That is where all my relatives live and we haven’t been back for a visit for several years due to “budget contraints”. I would love to see my elderly aunts while I still can.

    What heck, I’ll give it a whirl. Hmmm…right now, a warm beach with a blue ocean as far as the eye could see would be heaven. If I could wait until late spring/early summer? Some place like Italy, where I’d have 4 solid weeks to travel the country at my leisure, my pace with my camera. Or Ireland.

    Colorado in June would be nice too.

    Take me back to Greece and make certain I have a bottle of fine wine….that is my vacation dream. But this year I’ll be traveling to NYC for the premier of Sex & the City 2 and also playing “babysitter” to my two adorable nephews in Hawaii for a week….so I guess I can’t complain too much! Beats last year and all the damn cancer treatments!

    And thank you SO MUCH for the laughs. I’ve bookmarked your blog…you had me crackin’ up so I’ll definitely be back!

    Oh, and I bought my first pair of Harry Mason earrings in 1989….holy shit…that was 20 years ago! And I visit him every year at the Harvest Festival in Ventura and blow a nice chunk of change on whatever new style he and his wife pick out for me šŸ™‚

    Another contest! Yay! For me, a cruise would be the vacation dream. First class of course with private balcony/deck and everything. And it would be perfect if I could bring my cat with me. Yeah…I know. But this is MY vacation dream, ok? So back off! The food would be delicious and healthy. Two things that I think are possible in the hands of skilled professionals. šŸ™‚

    I would have a tough time picking one place for that heavenly vacation that I’ll take before this super life of mine ends! It’s always been Ireland, fershure, fershure.

    I would take myself off to Sweden to go to the Ice Hotel, where its all ice, all the time! Sleep in an ice bed, drink out of an ice glass while sitting at an ice bar and eat off of ice plates! I would LOVE to experience this!

    I’ve been a lot of places, but there are so many I still want to see. Australia, the Scandanavian countries (in the summer please!), and my granddaughter is obsessed with Egypt and the Pyramids and wants me to take her there. My fav vacation so far was a cruise on an ITALIAN cruise ship through the Greek Isles. I could have lived on the ship, or any one of the isles, if not for family stuck in the states.

    if i could go anywhere i would go to augsberg, germany. i visited there at a young age and remember how amazed i was at the beauty and old fashioned look of the houses and towns. i loved the feeling of being in a completely foriegn place and feeling so much at ease because i was engrossed in my surrounding that it was overwhelming. i loved to watch and listen to them speaking german and the fact that i couldnt understand didnt matter. the conversation always looked so intense.

    We seem to have a lot in common…..I’m addicted to Nutella ( did you know that Costco now carries Nutella? Two huge jars are less than you would pay for one in a supermarket.) I’m not buying any for now because IT CALLS TO ME once I bring it into the house and
    next thing I know there it has disappeared. I have been a fan of Harry and his wonderful creations for over twenty years now. One of my favorite things to do is to bring a friend to the Harvest Festival and introduce her to Harry for the first time! I so enjoy watching her try on her first few pairs and then try to decide which ones to start with. AHHH, I digress. I’ve been dreaming about Costa Rica for awhile now. I would also really like to go to Australia and New Zealand.

    I’d love to go back to San Francisco and visit Harry’s shop again. My husband Chris and I were there in 2008. It was Chris’s 60th birthday and I’d arranged a month-long trip to Hawaii (Molokai and Maui) via San Francisco. On the actual birthday we took a helicopter trip over the city and under the golden gate bridge, then spent the afternoon on Pier 39. I bought Chris a personalised Christmas ornament of a helicopter and he bought me a pair of Harry Mason earrings.

    The whole trip was wonderful and naturally, we’d love to go back to Hawaii too. What a pity it costs an arm and several legs to get there!

    My husband and have a trip planned with my sister and her husband to Sedona, AZ but I would have loved to go to Hawaii. We planned our trip together to celebrate our Anniversary because we had a double wedding ceremony in Las Vegas 30 years ago. My first choice was Hawaii but they were unable to switch their time share for the dates when we had wanted to go. We do love Sedona though and anywhere without snow will be great.

    Well I’ve always been a sunny vacation sort of person, but now that I’m the size of a whale, it is a little less appealing to me.

    I’m with you, I’d take a cruise ship to Bakersfield, so long as it has a good buffet. But my next favorite destination would be Denmark. After watching it on Oprah, it sounds like a country full of very sensible people, which would be a nice change after the madness that is the USA.
