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!

    Perfect day: Take a walk or bike ride, work in my garden, sit a spell on the front porch swing, hang laundry on the line, fill the birdfeeders with my 3 year-old… My husband built us an outdoor shower 2 months ago and I haven’t taken an indoor shower since! The temp has gotten down into the mid-50’s, which is a bit chilly, but I love looking up and seeing the tree branches and sky, so it is so worth it.

    OUTSIDE AND INSIDE PLEASE! Is it so terrible that I just can’t choose? I’ve been sitting here for 5 full minutes trying to nail it down, but it’s just both.

    I’m never so happy as when I’m hiking with my family, and I’m never so at peace as when I’m snuggled up reading a good book.

    Outside please!

    We go hiking and camping alllll the time – real camping, where you hike in for awhile carrying everything on your back. Since we moved to MD we limit it to the spring, winter and fall, since it gets sooo hot during the summer. We come from up north and are still not used to it getting so hot! Plus, camping is the perfect dog-friendly vacation.

    INSIDE PLEASE! or maybe outside… I really don’t know. Today my perfect day would be an inside day, but maybe that is just because it’s cold and rainy outside. I don’t like that too much I know for sure. But to snuggle up in comfy clothes and watch a good movie or even a bunch of good movies all day long sounds so wonderful to me.

    Outside Please! (Or inside, depending on the day you ask me). Love being outside in great weather, but a perfect day could also be spent reading a good book by the fireplace while listening to the rain (if my little boys would let me!)

    “OUTSIDE PLEASE!” We try to do as much outside as possible and even when we’re inside, we like to have windows open, weather permitting. No matter what the weather or temp, we open our windows for at least 20 minutes every week to circulate that fresh outdoor air. (deep breath… ahhhhh)

    It really depends on the weather, if it is a nice breezy, sunny, summer afternoon, I love to be outdoors, but, for me, there is nothing better than sitting under a fluffy blanket, on my couch in the middle of a snowstorm!
