{12 days of christmas: a gift - about $50} + a giveaway


this year i'm hoping to wrap up my christmas shopping much earlier than usual. that way i can sit back, relax and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year. i've been hunting for gifts that are thoughtful, budget friendly and feel a tad indulgent. and when possible, i've been grabbing gifts from local/independent shops. 


and today, i'm happy to be giving away a great gift from an independent artist. one lucky reader will win an 8x10 print from kari herer's etsy shop. the antler print in the above guide is my personal favorite, but she has lots of other beautiful work that would make a great gift or perhaps a little present for yourself. just leave a comment below and follow a lovely escape to be entered. winner will be picked next monday.

UPDATE: congratulations, elle sees. you're the winner of the print giveaway!

  10. also....love the antler print, and would LOVE to win it. My bf is a hunter with 8 mounts in the garage. I've compromised and have a couple loose antlers on floating shelves with photos/vases. This print would be the perfect feminine addition to our eclectic decor!!!
