The Catherine Holman Folk Art Giveaway

by Laurel Plum

I believe if something is pretty and makes you smile, it is a keeper.

I also believe in dessert.

Our last giveaway of this fun week may not help you do something functional in the kitchen, but all work and no play…. And I believe in playing. A lot!

Catherine has well over 100 items in her Etsy shop right now, and she is letting one of you have your pick!

She has tons that are just as yummy as the one above and she has some of the most adorable cottages I have ever seen! See…

Oh, how I miss my little house. I may have to ask Catherine to do a custom painting of it.

She has a blog too that tells the inspiration stories behind many of the paintings along with sharing recipes, home decor and personal tales. You need to take a peek at Pigment of Your Imagination – “The Art of Creativity and Color in the Home and Garden”.

But not yet! First, you have to try to win one of her pieces! There are just a couple of little things you need to do.

  1. I need you to visit the Pigment of Your Imagination Shop and pick out your favorite then come back here and let me know which one in the comments.
  2. For anyone who wants extra entries, I will give two extra entries for anyone who tweets about this giveaway or passes it along. Just let me know in the comments that you did so. (You can follow me or use a #lpo hash tag so I can find it.)
  3. That’s it. If you are new here, I would like for you to look around, but I will not ask you to subscribe. I hope you will, but that is not a condition for the giveaway.

You have until Friday the 27th at midnight (EST). Next Saturday, I will announce the winning number.

UPDATE: The giveaway is now closed, but can still get one of these prints for yourself using this special offer:

BONUS DEAL!!! Visit the Pigment of Your Imagination Shop between now and April 30th for a buy 3 get one free! super deal to get all of your favorites! Thank you, Catherine from all of us!

Add any three prints to your cart. Pick out a fourth and in the Message to Seller box type in “Laurel Plum” and leave the name/listing number of the print you would like to have for free! (And Catherine reminds us – You need to make sure to only purchase 3 prints, not four. If you add all four to your cart, you will be charged through Etsy for all four.)

END UPDATE.

And do not forget to comment on all of the other articles for this week since this is a full week of giveaways!
