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 swim, but it’s not my favoritest thing in the whole world. Which is tragic considering our new place has a big ol’ pool that my kids are just itching to just walk right into, full “good clothes” on and all – that actually happened – so my husband will be playing lifeguard for the inaugural family swim. Side question: Do you think she would paint a person of color swimming? Not that any of her prints wouldn’t spark some fun conversation at family dinners, but “we” do swim too ya know? ;o)

    My best, Lynn

    LET’S GO SWIMMING! I went to high school in rural South Carolina, so there was no swim team or anything, but we lived on an amazing lake so I love swimming for fun. Such a great giveaway with all this wonderful weather we’ve been having lately!

    Let’s Go Swimming!! I love swimming, sun bathing, and anything to do with being outside in warm weather and water! My son loves it too! As soon as he could walk, we put him in swim lessons (we are around pools a lot) and he was swimming by the time he was 2!! Its amazing! Maybe he will be the next Michael Phelps! haha
