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…

    INSIDE PLEASE! I like the idea of being outside until I get hot/cold, there are bugs, etc. I love sitting inside and looking out the window :)

    OUTSIDE PLEASE!

    I live in Canada, so when summer hits it’s outside all the way. Plus I notice that if I don’t get out of the house at leasts once a day I get really cranky.

    “OUTSIDE PLEASE” AND “INSIDE PLEASE”

    Can I say both? You see, we live in Canada… where it gets cold :) When we lived on the west coast, it was almost always outside. Now that we live in a central province, with cold, cold, cold temps, we love outside during warm months and inside during the cold ones.

    My absolute favourite thing to do outside is walk with our dog. It gives me a moment to take a break from the media-filled, fast-paced, make-money life and enjoy simple pleasures.

    OUTSIDE PLEASE!

    There is nothing like playing outside – in the creeks, in the forest, in my own flower garden, or with my cats. My nonprofit job requires outside work, and I love working side-by-side with new volunteers and old friends to help keep our environment trash-free!

    “Outside Please” In the Spring and Summer. There is nothing better than being out in my garden enjoying the smells and the warmth of the sun. But in the Winter I am a wimp and it is “INSIDE PLEASE” all the way. Curled up in front of a fire with a good magazine or show.

    INSIDE, PLEASE! I love curling up on the couch with a good book, a glass of wine, and my dog at my feet. Of course, I could do that outside, too, I suppose! But I love the coziness of being in a space of my own.

    OUTSIDE PLEASE because…

    I grew up in Maine! We had 40 acres of woods (and some swampland) and I was homeschooled, so I would spend my free time (which I had a lot of) romping around in the woods and the fields by myself! Also, there was a little spot way out with a big roack under a tree and my dad would take me out there to have mini picnics every once in a while. There’s nothing I love more than being outdoors in Maine, no matter what season it is! (I live in Florida now, so it’s pretty unreasonable to be outside 70% (or more) of the year.

    Yay!

    While I love parks, the beach, walks/hikes, cycling, etc., I’m definitely an inside gal. I love museums, movie theaters and I’m no doubt a homebody. Especially with the holidays coming, all I can think about is curling up on the couch with a book or a good movie.
