~ a "Christmas in Paris" give away

...good afternoon...and where might I be finding you?
...it is absolutely good to be back inside in a warm home!....not that I do not like the crisp, dry cold, but -7C° as a highest temperature is not exactly something I'm totally used to...
So you are finding me home, writing these lines, while dinner is getting cooked (chicken legs with peppers in the pan and rice)
and I have a suggestion to make...would you like to take a look?


 How about Christmas in Paris?
....wouldn't that be a nice choice?
...well, Santa has actually already passed by our door and left us a ticket there!
Trully!
....now no need to get envious, because he insisted that it is to be offered to all the lovely people who read these pages....
Yes, this is exactly how things are. So my dears, you have the chance to win one of the amazingly beautiful prints my friend Anne sells in her gallery, also known as her Etsy shop ~ magalerie

You can choose either :
~ an 8' x 10' or 8' x 8' print
or
~  a set of two 5' x 5' prints
 from the big and oh so beautiful collection she offers!
 Have a look at some of my current favorites
and then come with me at the end of the post to let you know
how you are going to enter.







What do you think?...do some of my personal favorites, fall in the range of your favorites, too?

What you have to do to enter is to:
1. hop over here at Anne's shop
2. choose a 8'x10' (or 8'x8') print or a set of two 5'x5' prints
3. come back here & state in the comments section which your choices are
4. write your email 
so that you can be contacted by those super busy elves here!

If you are a new visitor of these pages and would like to enter the give away, you certainly can as it is open to everyone! It would be very much appreciated, if you showed some love by becoming a follower  :)
You may be enterring until Sunday 12.12.2010

So are you ready to fly to Paris for Christmas?....or better welcome Paris in your home for Christmas?
I am....and actually Santa was very kind with me as well, as he left me a little package filled with lovelyness this moring.
What?...a "sous-tasse" in blue and red and a "tasse" in blue and red, too.
They are now very happily going to travel all the way to Greece, to decorate a corner @ Apartment 44...
..dinner is ready...wishing you a wonderful Friday evening...

Ivy ~ xx

  4. Oh my, what a fabulous giveaway! There are so many beautiful prints that it is hard to choose. Of course I am drawn to the "Petit Beurre" and "Madeleine" prints as they are two of my favorite childhood treats from my summers in France with my grandparents. I would love to have the chance to win those. I have just the place for them in my kitchen!

    Thanks to both of you for doing this giveaway.

  8. Hello Ivy and Anne,
    I have recently purchased French Carousel as a Christmas gift for my daughter Phoebe who would love to travel to Paris. I am going to choose EAT PRAY LOVE as the next print as that is what she is reading at the moment.

  9. Could her photography be any more romantic? Don't think so. I'm absolutely in love with the French Mailbox image. Could design a room around that one print. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  13. Hello Ivy~
    I have been reading your very stylish & endearingly positive blog for awhile and thought I'd comment and say hi! You radiate such a wonderful atomosphere here that I find a true joy in visiting. :) What beautiful work Anne creates and I would have to say my favorite is the Keep Calm & Carry on because it it portrays the simple style that I adore so much. I hope your weekend has been as lovely as you are!

  22. Hi Ivy, I am new to your blog, but I had already found Anne's MaGallerie before! I think her photography is heavenly. She has a way with her camera for sure! Just yesterday in french class I was telling everyone about the photo with the pink truck in front of the blue shuttered window. That's the photo I want if I win! I think it is titled "rose truck in the south of france" or something like that!
    You can reach me at hermanmary21@yahoo.com, if I win! Here's hoping...
