Celebrating Your Cubanity With Santayana Jewelers

By

As I’m continuing to celebrate my 13 Years in the Blogosphere, I have to mention the relationships that I’ve developed through my blog, because those are the things I treasure most. 

My Big Fat Cuban Family consists of a lot of people. Besides my 4 sisters and my brother, my 4 kids and their significant others, my 2 gorgeous grandsons, and a large and colorful extended artery of nieces and nephews and their people and grand-nieces and grand-nephews, and so on and so on and so on. Well, you understand.

My people are everything. 

In the same way, my online relationships have grown and evolved into a delightful mishmash of Cubans everywhere. It’s a wonderful thing to behold and I’ve very proud of what I’ve created here. 

Which brings me to today’s giveaway. I’ve had such a great relationship with my cyber-friends at Santayana Jewelers for all the years I’ve been blogging. So much so, that they actually have a portion of their jewelry site dedicated to “As Seen on MBFCF.” 

As you can imagine this brings me no small amount of joy. So I reached out and asked, “Can you help me celebrate my 13th Blogoversary with a special giveaway?” 

“Of course,” they said, without hesitation. “In fact, we’ve got a great idea already,” they said.

*Drum roll, please*

My people! Today’s giveaway is proudly sponsored by Santayana Jewelers. Home of The MBFCF Collection. *she said, very, very proudly, with a big smile on her face*

One very lucky MBFCF reader will win one (1) of these gorgeous mini-charms on a sterling silver necklace with freshwater pearls. Made in Miami. It’s a thing of beauty, isn’t it? 

Santyana Jewelers has graciously insisted that the winner choose their favorite charm as shown in the photo above (a $75. value):

  • Mini Caridad del Cobre
  • Mini Angel
  • Mini Dove
  • Mini Guadalupe

Two ways to enter this fabulous giveaway – here on the blog or over on Instagram. 

  1. To enter the giveaway, click over to Santayana Jewelers and spend some time ogling their gorgeous inventory to get an idea of the quality we’ve got here – come back and leave a comment ON THIS POST and tell me which of the 4 pieces shown above is your favorite. I tend to lean towards the Virgencita de la Caridad, because I love me some Cachita, but that’s not important right now. 

  2. Or, bounce on over to my Instagram account, follow MyBigFatCubanFamily and SantayanaJwlrs. Tag a friend on Instagram who would really rock one of these beautiful, stackable necklaces.  That makes you both eligible.

  3. I’ll be choosing the winner randomly from both places on Friday, November 1st, 2019 at 11:00 am PST. You have until then to enter. Valid only in the USA.

If you’re a little impatient, (you know who you are) or if you have more shopping you’d like to do, please use the promo code CUBANFAMILY and they’ll give you $10 off your entire purchase, no minimum. Includes everyone’s favorite charms. Limit one per customer. 

Of course, I’m actually wearing my Santayana azabache right now. Por si las moscas.

    I got the medalla milagrosa for my mom on Mom’s day, and it is very beautiful . And I’d love the Caridad del Cobre for myself.

  14. Jackie says

    La Caridad del Cobre is my favorite ❤️ My grandmother wore her La Caridad medal for years and after she died it must have walked off with someone🤦‍♀️ I’d love to wear this in her honor

  15. Barby says

    I’ve got to say la Caridad del Cobre! It’s basically synonymous with”Cuban”. No es verdad?!

  18. Chely Monteleone says

    Love them all, but my fave is the dove as we all can use more hope and peace in our lives!! Thank you!!!

  23. Diane Pallini says

    I thought, which one would I choose, then it came to me – DUH! La Caridad del Cobre! You can’t get more Cuban than that. By the way, LOVE Santayana and have bought items for my mom, my sisters, and myself for Christmases past.

  25. Cristie says

    Love all of this! We’ve been customers of Santayana for a few years now and glad to have stumbled upon your blog through them. The virgencita de caridad is my ultimate fave!

  26. Esther says

    Since I can remember I have been “devota” of La Virgen de La Caridad. As a new Nurse graduate, I would love to carry her on me with this simple yet beautiful necklace to protect me and my patients and guide my hands during care.

    Angels have always carried a special place in my heart. My vote is for the angel pendant!
