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.

    Let’s Go Swimming!! I love the water. I took swimming lessons when I was very young, but for many reasons didn’t get back in a pool until College. Now I go to the pool whenever I have a chance and I love it. Sun and summer, here we come!

    Let Go Swimming! Total water baby. My mom can’t swim (fear of water) so she put all us kids in swimming lessons really young to ensure we were strong swimmers. Love floating, playing, diving, handstands, volleyball, boogie boarding…anything you can do in the water, I love it.

    Personally, I’m a bit ambivalent about the water myself. I enjoy lounging on a float, or even doing a few laps, but I’m a princess about water temp and cleanliness. But two years ago, my partner and I moved into a house with a gigantic swimming pool, and I love having this little bonus in our lives. It’s a great spot to just hang out, and a great gathering place for friends and family.
