Adorable Framed Postcards and A Giveaway For You

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

{This giveaway is now closed.}


Not sure if you remember but a few weeks ago I wrote a little post about an Etsy shop called f2 Images that has the sweetest pictures / prints for sale.

I couldn't decide on one print so I ordered the set of four postcards (pictured above). Ca-ute right?

Even though the postcards are only 4x6 I went and bought four white 8x10 gallery frames from Chapters. (Man, it's hard to find white frames in this town).

I brought one of the frames and postcards to a local shop (Victoria's Custom Framing) to get some custom mattes cut. Once they were ready I popped them into the frames with the postcards, secured them with tape, and voila! Four new, unique pieces of art for the house.





Now my only dilemma is whether I should hang them up as a set of four or divide them up into two sets of two. They just look so darn cute everywhere I put them!!! As soon as I figure it out I'll make sure to take a picture for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news, this past July was my one year blog-anniversary (woot, woot!) and I wanted to celebrate with a giveaway for one of my lovely readers. That's you, dear.

Emiko, from f2 Images, has generously offered to give away a print of your choice from her Etsy shop. Let's take a peek at a few of them just for fun.

  7. I could definitely use a print. I have a gallery wall that still has many empty frames...my friend was kind enough to point out I still had a price tag on one of my frames. Anyway I went to f2 etsy page and there are a lot of great pictures...I like restless, and kisses, plus a dozen more.

  22. Hi there :)

    Still following along happily since you started the blog - my blog tracker sidebar thingy on my blog lets me know whenever you've posted something new. Had fun browsing the Etsy photos - hmm, was particularly drawn to "Door County" (have a set of those vintage chairs, and love the tone of that photo) and "Secrets" (Mom grew up on a Holstein farm, and in my fantasy future, I'm a farmer). Linked this on my blog, so hopefully you find a few more followers!

  57. Hi Sarah,

    For my "Chance #2"

    I looked at the Etsy site and it would be a hard choice to pick, they are all so beautiful! But I'd have to pick The Farm, I love that photo and it reminds me of a photo I have of the farm my grandparents used to have! PS...your little postcard prints look beautiful in the grouping of 4! Kim

  63. I love reading your blog! I started following a couple of months ago when I was searching for ideas for what to do with old windows. Thanks for the awesome mirror with hooks idea! Oh, and thanks for letting us know about Pinterest. I am officially addicted to it! Did you know they are based in Palo Alto, CA? I moved to Minnesota a little over a year ago but I grew up in California not too far from Palo Alto so that was super cool to find out.

    Anyway...the print I like most is Orange Dream.

    Thank you for the chance at the giveway and I look forward to reading more and spreading the word about your blog!
