Giveaway of archival quality prints

It has come to my attention that it’s been such a long time since my last Giveaway that I can’t even remember when I last had one. And I always used to host Giveaways. The things I enjoy giving away the most are the things I can make myself, and these are all from my Etsy shop where I have archival quality prints for sale.


Here’s how the Giveaway works:

THE RULES


1. Choose your favorite print from this post or from my Etsy shop, leaving a comment as to your choice.

2. Make sure I have a way of contacting you.

3. For an extra chance at winning, publish this post on your blog, your FB page, by tweeting it, coming back here each time to leave the extra comment.

So that's one comment telling me which print you'd like to win. An extra comment if you blog about it, and another one if you FB it, and yet another if you tweet it. You may leave up to 4 comments this way.

That’s it! It’s simple. The Giveaway will continue until 8 PM on Thursday, March 8 and is open to everyone.

GIVEAWAY ENDS THURSDAY, MARCH 8 AT 8 PM EST


I have a mixture of architecture, birds, and flowers from which to choose ~ (plus there’s a lot more on the Etsy site).

  21. Goodness Kate. I love Evening Swirls. The colors and focus just work perfectly for me. Thanks!

  22. Oh how exciting! I would love to have one of your photos on my wall. I knew immediately it would have to be a bird one and after scrolling down - the dancing titmouse! How wonderful and humourous and full of life! that would make me smile every time I looked at her.
    Will do some tweeting etc although I'm afraid noone much reads my tweets or Facebook page:(
    love Kate x

  23. Each and every image a wondrous one!

    I once went to an after-opening dinner at a home on Rittenhouse Square. Opulence is what i remember, incredible treasures on every wall, paintings hung in three rows, each on top of another.

    ReplyDelete
  24. And to think I almost missed a giveaway because I haven´t been hanging out in blog land lately! Well my dear, there are so many wonderful photos you take it´s very hard to choose. Out of these I think the pink and yellow is my favourite. I loved that first photo also- would love to have stood there and looked at the ceiling in person! Amazing! The snowy manor is lovely but I am sick and tired of snow right now so I need color and sunny happy feelings...thus my choice would fall on the pink and yellow ;-)))
    Will post about your contest on my blog next time I post- if I post in time, but I´ll be back and let you know ;-))) Otherwise I´ll take my chances...if it´s meant to be it will be...I´m like that....
    Have a lovely day my dear....

  25. Too many choices! I would have to pick between George at the gate and Manor House in February!

  47. Oh my!! Decisions. Decisions.

    My choice would have to be the dancing titmouse and hot on its heels the Manor House in February.

    I'm with Cloudia - you should think about doing a small exhibition. Nothing too stressful of course.

  52. Kate - I love all your pictures. My favorite would be the white carnation followed by the tulips.

  53. Hi Kate
    I popped back to see what kindred spirits also live the dancing titmouse! I am fine with whoever gets it and just so happy to have that image imprinted in my brain.
    Still I am seeing hanging feathers and thinking of Hope!
    Just one thing - did you want the links to FB and tweets?
    if yes then my FB is kate wilson and tweet is @thecatlanway

  56. Well here I am shamelessly back here again to increase my chances of the little Titmouse!
    and because I have just read the Rules again and realise I should comment for each thing I post.
    So this is number 4. I tweeted, FBed, commented and put you on the blog. And I just noticed that someone from me went over to look at you! that was satisfying.
    Such a nice idea - and good fun to write about you and fantasise about having one of your lovely images.
    Whatever happens - I hope you enjoy the comments and the connections with us all.
    Sending Happy March wishes

  72. I choose the sparrow. During our Bible study last week, we learned the story of the 'fifth sparrow' in ancient Roman times. Next I love, love, love the carnation.
