Good morning everyone! I am super excited to announce a very special GIVEAWAY today!
Do you remember the gorgeous Illinois watercolor piece hanging on the gallery wall in the new Guestroom? It is shades of gray, teal & gold and is hung near my newly reupholstered cane chair.
Blogger turned Etsy shop owner, Samantha Reineke of Place in Progress and I have partnered together to give away a FREE 8″x10″ custom state watercolor to one lucky reader! So cool, right?!
Samantha is a stay-at-home mom to two boys and married to her high school sweetheart. She opened her Etsy shop, PlaceinProgress in November of 2014 because she says, “I love making custom artwork for my own home, and wanted to allow people the chance to really make their home feel like it is custom tailored to their style.” She is sweet AND super talented!
How to enter:
You must be following, This is our Bliss by email. All you have to do is sign-up to receive newly published posts delivered to your inbox.
Secondly, leave a comment on this post with what state you would have her create if you win! Give your home state a shoutout if you plan to pop it into a frame and hang it on a wall in your home or maybe you are planning to give it to someone as a special gift. Either way – I highly recommend you enter & give it a shot! Easy enough!
Here are a couple of other state watercolors in her shop:
And a cute ampersand…
Samantha doesn’t just do watercolors, either. She has some beautiful hand-painted wood pieces, too!
Want more good news? Samantha is offering a 20% shop discount for This is our Bliss readers – just enter “BLISS20” at the checkout of her Etsy shop! She will be running the discount for 2 weeks, so head on over and get shopping!
Just look at the detail… I asked her to add some gold to my piece and look how pretty it is when the light catches it. Such a pretty shimmer…
The colors are so spot-on with the rest of the room and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! I truly <3 it.
Ok, your turn now… remember, follow by email and leave your “state” in the comments! The giveaway will end at 12:01 am on Thursday, May 28th. That is 1 week from now! The winner will be selected at random through random.org and announced later that same day!
GOOD LUCK & thanks for reading!
