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 & OUTSIDE PLEASE!!
    First, beautiful photos! simple, clean – great for any space. I’m thinking of where i would put them in my home as i type…
    anyways, i do consider myself both inside and outside person. I am happy hiking on the escarpment (i’m from Milton, Ontario, Canada – eh!) in the fall or snuggling by the fire, book in one hand, glass of wine in another. I appreciate and need both worlds.

    I love the outdoors but don’t like to be too hot soooo inside would probably be preferred, with a sky light :)

    I love being outside, and I’m lucky to live in Sunny Southern California, where the sky is blue most days of the year! I love going for a walk by the ocean, or hiking the beautiful mountains we have here…

    INSIDE PLEASE!

    I love camping, I love going to the park, but I burn easily, and I love reading, curling up in front of the fireplace on a cold day, and sleeping in, and playing with my son (he hates the feel of grass, so he’s not a fan of the park).

    “INSIDE PLEASE!” I love looking at the great outdoors but from the comfort of my sunroom or the balcony of the beach resort. Of course if it didn’t get so blazing hot and humid here and the mosquitos didn’t threaten to take over then maybe I’d like outside more. But here in Alabama it can get pretty brutal in the summer and the other times of the year it is raining or too cold.

    OUTSIDE PLEASE! (in the summer) I love to sit outside with a book and a glass of wine and just listen to the noises around me. *sigh*

    INSIDE PLEASE! (in the winter) As much as I love the snow and building a good old snowman, there is nothing better than coming in from the cold to a warm cup of hot cocoa, curled up in front of the fireplace. *double sigh*

    That’s why I love where we live (Ontario, Canada) – the change of seasons! You get the best of both worlds here (and the worst too, haha)

    INSIDE PLEASE!

    Unfortunately, I am a Dwelling Dweller. I like the idea of being outside, but am usually much more comfortable in a nice air-conditioned (or heated) house….piddling and decorating! Not to mention that I am fair-skinned, so in the summer I sizzle up like a pound of fat-backed bacon!

    Today I am an inside person, because it is raining cats and dogs. I cannot bear to be out in it! If I didn’t have classes, I would love to spend today curled up in a comfy chair, watching a movie or reading. On most days, I am an outside girl :)
