And our lucky winner of over $400 worth of art is… Kate (who loves the mix of love salty and sweet: chocolate covered pretzels, salted caramel, trail mix, etc). Congrats!
There are so many incredible options when it comes to bringing art into your home, so we thought we’d put together a mixed bag of three very different, but equally cool artists’ work. The first comes from D is for Dino, a local guy who also moonlights at our favorite candy store. He makes awesome graphic prints that are crisp, beautiful, and contain “a hint of geekery.” Here are a few of our favorites that you might want to spend your $100 gift card on…
Next up is Against the Woodgrain, who sports quite the mix of media. They’re giving away one of my favorite items: a vintage-inspired arrow light fixture that looks like it was salvaged from some drive-in back in the day (it’s actually handmade just for you).
Last but not least is Jessica Alpern Cuts Paper. We had a hard time picking from her all of her intricately hand-cut works because there’s just something so charming about every single one. So good luck picking which ones to get with your $100 gift card…
- PRIZE: An arrow light fixture from Against the Woodgrain, an $100 gift card to Jessica Alpern Cuts Paper, and an $100 gift card to D is for Dino. That’s over $400 worth of art!
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MIX ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s your favorite thing to mix? Root beer and ice cream for dessert? Stripes and polka-dots in your wardrobe? Rap and country music on your iPod?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, July 4th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in North America (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)

MIX ME! I love mixing up every soda on the soda machine to make “suicide”. Did every other child call it that?….and what are with all these fancy machines that mix sodas up for you?
I remember many ticked off customers who were in line behind me at soda refill time…as I had to get just the exact ratios of root beer to pink lemonade. Call me crazy…

Heather says
Mix me! I like mixing friends from school, work, gym, everywhere and of all ages :)
Shona says
Mix me! Mmmm… hot black coffee mixed with vanilla ice cream. OK, I guess that’s basically just a coffee milkshake, but the hot coffee softens the ice cream enough that you don’t even need milk. Just the ice cream and the coffee. Nothing else. Use a blender, and add fresh-brewed coffee to your ice cream until you’ve reached the desired consistency. I made up this treat in college, and man oh man, is it delicious (if you like coffee).
