March Giveaway: French Poem Lithograph
This week has been a whirlwind of a week. We’re in the middle of preparing for an 800 mile move on Saturday and I’ve spent a glorious week blogging at Black Eiffel (Rachel is one of my heroes). I’ve got to celebrate that I’ve not had any major emotional breakdowns (only minor ones), and you! Thanks for stopping by!
This month’s giveaway is something I made a long time ago, when my husband and I were merely dating. It’s terribly romantic. The poem in the background is Le Pont Mirabeau by Guillaume Appollinaire (a poem I had to memorize in junior high for a state french fair), and it’s insanely beautiful to hear.
Anyway, this print is yours if you leave a comment. Leave only one comment per person, and no anonymous comments. If you’re feeling motivated, write any suggestions on things you’d like to see here, but it’s not necessary. Comment before April 3rd for your chance to win. The winner will be picked by random.org.
Hop on over to Black Eiffel for another IS•LY Giveaway!
