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

This is so awesomely generous of you, Rachel!!! And I have to say that I'm really loving the coral photo — so lovely.

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 :)

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI 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!

Take Care!!
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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this nice opportunity!

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

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!!!
ReplyDeleteSo 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!!

thank you all for your comments...i'm happy that you all have visited!
ReplyDeletesofia...i won't be dividing this box, but i may be selling smaller packages in my tigerluxe shop...thanks for the suggestion!
Oh I love them both but I think I would choose the vintage ephemera box, i could spend hours pouring over the bits & pieces & dreaming of little projects!

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.

ReplyDeletegallagher.liz@gmail.com
ooh, lovely. My favourite is the ephemera box although the prints are lovely too. How nice of you to pay it forward.
ReplyDeleteI am also in the BPS - happy new year! I love either of the shell prints - I have jars full of shells here and I think their colors and shapes are just beautiful.

I should take that picture of the vintage ephemera to show my family when they ask why I don't throw things away... ever-ish. :) Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
