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!

    My perfect day is out in the sun, preferably hiking or at the beach. Man, I think I’m ready for summer! Let the countdown begin. :)

    I love the outdoors as well but my fav thing is to sit on my comfy couch or in bed with a good book while it’s pouring outside!

    INSIDE PLEASE.

    I do love being outdoors, but living in Iowa means the weather is often not cooperative–too hot and humid, too windy, too cold…. So I’m most comfy inside tucked under my quilt with a good book in hand. Although just this summer I did discover a new outdoor love…same relaxation scene in a hammock….

    OUTSIDE PLEASE!

    As a family, we really enjoy being outdoors. Our first camping trip occurred last summer, and we loved it so much that we went several more times! Despite being due w/ baby #4 in July, I hope we’ll have the chance to get out there a few times before “D” day!!

    I would be an outside person if I never got sunburned and if there were no bugs. Love the beach and hiking, but I am never completely at peace until I’m inside at home.

    I grew up in a family that would go cross country skiing every sunday after church, and our summer vacation was camping!
    Now I’m married to a military guy who ‘camps’ in the field during the week and isn’t so interested in doing it on the weekends or for vacation!

    OUTSIDE & INSIDE PLEASE!!

    I really had to think about this question and then (after much deliberation) had to say I love being snuggled up on the couch with my furbabies reading a great book as my hubby watched football just as much as I love being ouside by a river watching my furbabies swim and frolic while my hubby strums the guitar. Seriously – how can I choose?? So I didn’t :)

    OUTSIDE PLEASE – Gardening, exercising, camping, swimming, and playing with my daughter are all things I love to do outdoors. In the dead of winter, I do switch to more of an inside person as I hate being cold, but that is a small portion of the year.

    INSIDE PLEASE
    I love the beach, a good snowy day, and yesterday I took a beautiful hike that left me feeling energized and refreshed, but I have to say that I am more of a homebody. I’m a bookworm and often am too distracted by the sights and sounds of nature to read outdoors, so a hardcover on a soft couch is ideal for me. Afternoon naps on weekends are also my biggest vice, so indoors, definitely.
