Happy Birthday to me this past week,
but it is you that may win the gift!
This giveaway is being sponsored by a very talented artist, Lana Manis.
Lana and I met online several years ago as I am a fan and collector of her work.
She works in many mediums and many styles and has been featured in several magazines including the Early American Life Directory of Traditional American Crafts.
Lana is also a very supportive individual and played a key role in helping me take the plunge into the blogging world and joining TDIPT Mercantile over 5 years ago.
Lana has been kind enough to offer one of her art prints to a reader of my blog.
You will be able to choose the art print of your choice and Lana will send it directly to you.
This giveaway will be open to shipping in the U.S. only.
As always, this giveaway is open to bloggers and non-bloggers alike.
Simple comment on this post or email me at pgagliardi9@hotmail.com with "Lana Manis Giveaway" in the subject line.
Now, here is the hard part ~ you will need to go to Lana's Etsy shop (click here) and pick the art print that you would like to win. In your comment or email, tell me the name of the art print that you will select if you are the winner.
I have been showing many of her floral art prints as they are really speaking to me today, but she also has abstracts, mixed media collage prints, and lovely words to live by.
They may not be primitive, but I think their wonderful folk art quality, subtle neutrals and pops of color would look right at home in any decor.
Now, how to decide...
I will be posting a winner on Saturday, August 17
Good luck!
Blessings, Patti
p.s. Oh my goodness gracious! As I posted this I just realized that this is my 400th post! Another reason to celebrate :) I am not sure how I found 400 things to talk about, but I guess I must be a chatty person :)
Well happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteSo kind of both of you to share her work. It is very compelling isn't it? I loved them all, esp. the bouquets, but my hands down favorite was the very last one. Fearfully and Wonderfully made, i loved her face, and it seemed like looking at an antique portrait! Thanks for the chance!
