Fab Freebie: French Swimming

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Well now that we’re more than ready to find a pool to dive into, random.org has picked a winner of this week’s giveaway. The lucky lady is… Cher (who swims about 20 laps each day in the summer). Congrats!

One element in our new kitchen that always makes us smile is the etsy print that we purchased by Samantha French. Remember, the cheery orange and blue painting of the lady swimming (that Clara also sweetly though included some “fishies”)? Well now Samantha is giving you guys a chance to win your very own colorful work of art with a $200 gift certificate to her Etsy shop. So grab your swim cap and bathing suit because that’s enough to snag any of the 16 x 20″ archival prints featuring Samantha’s signature subject matter.

Samantha French Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $200 gift card to Samantha French’s Etsy shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LET’S GO SWIMMING!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …are you a swimmer? Do you love going to the pool to do a few laps? Or maybe just to splash around (or lounge around)? Or are you and water not friends?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 28th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Samantha French.

    Love swimming and the water. Excited to teach my kids to swim! I swam competitively for 14 years, so I was excited to see these prints! Nowadays, I’d rather float around on a hot day. :)

    I’m not a strong swimmer but I love the water, especially snorkelling in the crystal blue waters in the Caribbean. Give me a float belt and I’m golden :)

    Even if those last months, it’s my baby who splash (can I say that in english?) around in the tub with me yelling “houhou bravo!” as we were in the middle of a sort of baby splashing competition :)

    I love being in the pool, or even laying in the sun next to the pool, but having 2 babies ensures I get no “me time” for the next few years. I watch and play with the little ones in the pool.

    I’m a terribly swimmer (very bad form) but I love it so. It’s always hard during the winter to talk myself into going to the pool and being cold and wet, but now that springtime weather is upon us, I’m really looking forward to daily laps again.

    These pieces remind me of how my sister and I used to have “tea parties” (sitting indian style and pretending to sip tea) at the bottom of our township pool when we were kids. Such fun memories!

    LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water…my favorite way is a day in the canoe with my husband on a local river, relaxing while he fishes! I also used to lifeguard and teach parent/infant and children’s swim lessons. We are expecting baby #1 in a few weeks, and I can’t wait to introduce her to the water!

    I’ve always loved being in the water, especially as a kid. Our family cottage was on a lake and every summer I loved swimming allll the way across to the other shore, turning around and swimming back allll the way back (with my dad in a boat beside me just in case something happened).
