a giveaway! or rather two!!

i was lucky enough last year to win two things (and i was one of those people who never win anything)...it felt so wonderful to win stuff that i've decided to have 2 giveaways here...one from each of my shops!

the first is a box of vintage paper ephemera:






this box includes a wonderful assortment of vintage ephemera and bits...everything from antique magazine pages, music sheets, children's illustrations, fake money and monopoly cards, cigar bands, stamps, joss paper and much much more. i've even tucked in a sheet of paper full of ideas for their use! they come in a white cardboard box perfect for storing them and any others you may collect in the future.

the second giveaway is:






your choice of 1 of these prints...whichever you prefer. they are giclee 8 1/2" x 11" (landscape oriented) fine art photo prints...the collection of shells is printed on luster paper, and the lone coral is printed on matte finish paper.

please leave a comment with your name, email and your preference of gift (either the vintage ephemera box, or either print) and i will choose 2 winners on the 18th! i'm not sure how many folks read this blog, so feel free to pass this along to your friends (in fact please do)...thank you!

***giveaway is over...thank you to everyone who participated and/or got the word out!***

  2. Hello Rachel! I'm a BPS member and followed Lori's advice to check out your blog and generous giveaways! I am love-love-loving your box of paper treasures as I am a sucker for all things old and traveled. Happy Tuesday and maybe we'll meet through the mail one of these months :)

  3. Hi Rachel,

    I found your giveaway on automatism, and think the box of vintage papers may be just the thing to get me started making my own postcards for BPS. I've had postcard envy and have felt less-than-creative with what I've been sending, so my fingers are crossed that I'll win. :-)

    Thanks for your generosity and creative spirit!

  11. As a lover of 'patterns' and 'little found treasures' I think your two prints are great. Difficult to choose but because I also like 'colours' and 'shapes' I would be very happy to win the collection of shells print.
    Thank you for this nice opportunity!

  17. I am absolutely drooling over that box of ephemera.
    I have recently started working in mixed media, and my stash is pathetic at best. That would be a jackpot of a prize for me!

  19. The vintage box is my favorite!! My head is full of ideas to use these images... But I´m moving from portugal to usa, so I can´t have more thinks to take!!!

    So I choise the photo of corals.

    I have one suggestion! the box have so many images you can divide for two or more people!?

    Thanks you!!

  25. Hello! What a lovely giveaway. I love the box of vintage stuff....because I am in love with the little deer I have spied. Cute little deer in the forest. Whoever gets the box of fun should send the deer to the yellow house in the U.

  42. Hi,

    I came accross your blog through automatism! I would absolutely love to win your box of ephemera. I love paper and have collected different notepapers since I was a little girl. I don't have anything vintage yet and I can't imagine a better way to start than with your gorgeous collection. I can only imagine what amazing things I could make and share with friends. Thank you so much for your generosity.
