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! Love the water but not a strong swimmer so I stick to the shallow end or just paddle!

    One of these would look great in our new bathroom (which is yet to be done!) so may have to peruse the shop any way!

    LET’S GO SWIMMING! I adore swimming! I was one of those super-shiny blonde kids from spending so much time at the pool and I started at about 6 months old (it was the 60s-swimming infants were the thing). Shout out to Heman Park Pool swimmers, STL, MO. I also adore Samantha’s art and pinned her on Pinterest a while back. I hope I win!!!

    I used to hate swimming until we went to Lake Burton in Georgia and we got to jump off the top of a lake house. I immediately became an avid jumper. The swimming thing will take some time, I tend to panic if I don’t have a swimming noodle to act as life guard.

    I grew up on Lake Michigan, so I spent entire summers in the water. Moving to Phoenix, the best thing I did was to buy a house with a pool. Now if I could just figure out the snow thing…
