Fab Freebie: Outside In

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

If you guys haven’t heard of papernstitch before, you’ve gotta check it out. It’s another great online source for handmade art (prints, photos, knits, etc) that’s curated monthly to exhibit a fresh crop of handpicked artists for you to shop and draw inspiration from. Might we suggest bookmarking it for your upcoming holiday gift shopping?

Papernstitch Homepage

This week, papernstitch is giving away a set of four photographic prints from one of their favorite photographers: Allison Trentelman of Rocky Top Studio. Allison is a nature photographer whose snowy birds and forest floor photo collections almost feel like they were shot in some fairy tale world (actually the Maine coast – but we still wouldn’t be surprised to spot a nymph or two in the background). We love that they let you bring both a bit of nature and lighthearted whimsy to your walls.

Papernstitch Prints

So here’s how you can score a dose of outdoors for your indoors this week:

  • PRIZE: Set of four 7″ x 7″ prints (Tufted Titmouse, Little Mushrooms, Droplets and Pixie Cup) from Rocky Top Studio courtesy of papernstitch.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “OUTSIDE PLEASE” or “INSIDE PLEASE” because…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …this week we wanna know if you consider yourself to be more of an outdoorsy or an indoorsy person. Is your perfect day spent out in the sun, surrounded by nature- maybe even camping under the stars? Or would you prefer being inside – maybe shopping somewhere, checking out a museum or movie, or even just snuggled in the comfort of your own home?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, November 25th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: To anyone, anywhere!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

PS: Stay tuned for a generous discount from Rocky Top Studio when we announce our winner on Thursday. Let’s call it a little Thanksgiving present…

    OUTSIDE PLEASE!

    Spring is my fave time of year, but I love a long hike in the woods during Fall. The earthy smell of dirt and leaves is my favorite at that time of year. Can’t resist a good day at the beach or a leisurely outing in a boat on the lake in the summer, either. Winter is my least fave, but i’d rather be skiing down the mountain than sitting on the couch!

    Now living in an indoor friendly city in south Texas, any breath of fresh air *cough* beautiful pictures *cough* is a welcome change and reminder of my true love, the outdoors!

    OUTSIDE PLEASE!

    i love being outdoors, even growing up in Minnesota where more than 6 months of the year are white (read: covered with SNOW!). i grew up camping, hiking, biking, taking my favorite books outside to read at the top of the apple tree in my parents’ backyard. it was (and still is) beautiful up there! and i would LOVE to bring a bit of Allison’s wonderful artwork into my home in Florida to recapture what i’ve left behind.

    I’m not what you’d call an “outdoorsy” person, but I find that on weekends where I’m stuck inside doing chores or making dinner, all I need to reinvigorate myself is to go for a walk outside.

    OUTSIDE PLEASE! I love doing whatever I can outdoors for as long as possible. And on bad weather days, I still try to bring the outdoors in whether it’s just the view through the 8 windows in my living room, or the skylight in my bedroom, open doors, etc.

    What beautiful prints!

    Indoor when its rainy and nasty out… which is a good time to curl up with a good book and the fire going

    and Outdoor to lay by the beach or to go camping… as long as it doesn’t involve sweating I am good to go. =)

    Although I think it is safe to say I’m a pretty good mix between being outdoorsy/indoorsy, I think more often than not I enjoy being outside. There is nothing better to me than eating a good meal on a patio at one of the many restaurants in The Fan and enjoying the scenery and gorgeous weather!

    I’m an outdoorsy person, even in the rain and under the grey cloudy skies of the UK winter. I am too much in love with wildlife, plants, landscapes and the natural world to stay inside all the time.
