This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.  See who won here

It’s a special Friday.  November 11, 2011 or 11.11.11.  So we posted this at 11:11, just to be crazy.  I’m sure you’ve already figured out that Friday equals giveaway day over here.  Today we have lovely prints from 2142 Stuart.

This little shop is filled with cheery art prints, like this Oh, Hi print which I think would look smashing in an entry way.

And this ABC Circus Love print to go in a nursery.

Or this pretty Love Layers print would look great in an office, a bedroom or any room, really.

Do you realize we’re floating in space?  Because we are.

Celebrate a loved one with an I Love You print.

  1. I don’t have a lucky number but I love odd numbers, or uneven ones specifically (1, 5, and 9 seem neater). My favorite number is 37 to suggest as a percentage or a “random number,” but anything ending in 3 or 7 is also good.

    This is going to sound odd, but numbers that are multiples of 5 make me feel warm and fuzzy. 5…10…15…20…25… I dunno why – It’s probably me just creating my own happiness in my head. (P.S. I blame this on my mother who decided to introduce me to the world on the 25th of the 10th month.)

    My favourite number is 3–I’m not sure if it’s lucky or not, but I love my little family of 3 so that’s special to me. I’m kind of superstitious too so I tend to look for numbers that are multiples of 3 or add up to 3 and choose those over ones that don’t. Okay, that sounds kind of weird when I say it out loud, lol!

    I subscribe through Google Reader. I’ve really been enjoying reading about all your kitchen remodeling decisions! My favorite number has always been 9, no particular reason, I just like that number. And for some reason, if it’s Friday the 13th and I have a test or something important to succeed at, I seem to do especially well on a Friday the 13th. Weird, huh. Anyway, thanks!

    Reply
  30. I subscribe! :) Also, my “lucky” number is actually 13, which is supposed to be the unluckiest number. Not that this number has actually ever brought me any specific luck, but whenever I need to use a number for something, good ol’ #13 is my first choice :)

    I don’t have a fave number, but have always been partial to even numbers (married in 2000, first son is 2004, second son in 2008). or maybe i just have a thing for the summers that the olympics are held! :)

    I don’t have a lucky or unlucky number… in fact, I don’t really believe in luck at all. :) I believe you make your own fate in life. If something happens you feel is out of your control you need to step up and take charge. Everything happens for a reason!!

    I just added 2142stuart to my Etsy favorites. My boyfriend frequently tells me “you have the most beautiful face” so the “Do You Realize” print is my favorite. It reminds me of him and the sweet things he says when he’s hungry for home cooked meals. :)
