African Continent Earrings by ArtbyCleatress!!

I first saw these earrings (which were featured by me in The Cape Verde Experience) on The "Good Hair" Blog where the lovely Alex was beautifully adorned with these treasures. I knew I had to have them and so I headed right to Etsy to purchase a pair from the talented ArtbyCleatress. Somehow through a shipping error, I ended up receiving two pairs of these beauties and was told they were mine to keep!! So I am sharing my good fortune with my readers :)
