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!!

    I love the great outdoors. It really restores me when I spend some time enjoying nature. I love hiking, backpacking, and camping – although with 2 small children its difficult to get out on long excursions. We take the kids on short hikes though – and they love it too!

    Outside/Inside Please!

    I love to be outside on gloriously warm and sunny days. But once it’s a little cold or rainy then I retreat to inside. I was spoiled the five years that I lived in the Sunshine state–now that I live in TN, I spend more time indoors.

    I haven’t really done any hiking or camping since the babies were born, but I’m really hoping to get some in this summer now that they’re a bit bigger.

    OUTSIDE PLEASE! If it’s a gorgeous day, it’s such a waste to be indoors. With that being said, I don’t get out much. With 2 little ones and a job I work out of my home, it’s challenging to be out as much as I would like.

    I love all sorts of outside activities. But I am always cold! So I am usually bundled up all year round for my outdoor activities. I am currently looking forward to some snow so I can take the skis out for a few runs!

    I don’t know what it is, but I prefer the inside to out hands down. BUT… I like being outside if it is relaxing and inside like. Right now my favorite thing to do is sit by the fireplace and knit.

    A little bit of BOTH please!

    I think if I pick one or the other I’m leaving part of myself out! I like to go camping but I also like to shop. I like to be indoors but then I get cabin fever. I like to go on long walks but I also like to be lazy on the couch…so yeah, a little of both please!

    OUTSIDE PLEASE…
    I love spending time outside, although I am more of a lounge-in-a-hammock-with-a-book kind of girl as opposed to the hike-mount-Kilimanjaro type. There is nothing nicer than spreading a blanket out on the grass in a nice shady spot and dozing off. Unfortunately living in Arizona isn’t really conducive to that type of outdoors living, so I guess I am an insider by necessity.

    I love love love the little mushrooms print! Can’t you just imagine the little sprites that coax those into growing a la Fantasia?!
