***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s giveaway comes from a site that so chock full o’ good stuff that it was a challenge to hone in on the perfect freebie items for this week. We’re talking about Artful Home, a virtual window into over a thousand artists’ studios that gives you access to 12,000+ original art pieces – from wall art and sculpture to furniture and accessories. It’s kinda like Etsy, but contributing artists are all professionals who are selected by a panel of art adjudicators.
So we sifted through the site and fell in love with several pillows and, since we couldn’t settle on just one, we’re letting this week’s lucky winner choose from the four pillows shown below: the nature-inspired linen pillows by Mariah Wren or the graphic, eye-chart pillow by Heather Lins. I know, tough decision, eh?
- PRIZE: Your choice of one of the four pillows shown above (valued at $90 – $95).
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the phrase “I HEART ART” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite piece of art currently in your home, whether it’s a piece of fine art made by a professional or fun art made by a preschooler.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One and only one this week.
- ELIGIBILITY: The prize ships to anywhere in the US and Canada.
- THE USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

My favorite right now is something we bought on etsy. Very simple, just red and white in a black frame.

We have an amazing print of a hand drawn map of South Carolina perfectly paired with a frame that has a palmetto tree detail carved into the wood. The best part is the artist was one of our dear friend’s uncle who drew the original gamecock mascot.

I HEART ART! I have too many favorite pieces of art in our home. There’s the small prints framed in the hallway that were snagged in the Art Institute of Chicago student art sale, works made by a friend and local artist by our front door, a little piece I made for my husband, and old creepy photos that were found in a friend’s house (which now hang in crisp white frames in our entry way).
I am lovin’ the eye chart pillow!
