Today’s giveaway is from Bley of Bibliosophy Handmade. Bley creates beautiful watercolor illustrations, and my entire family was thrilled when we recently received a custom family portrait from her. She captured each of us so perfectly. She even has Jonny growing out his beard again so he will match the picture! I am also a big fan of Bley’s calendar tea towels. She has a few left for 2014 and they are on sale! Be sure to check out her blog as well. She has some great free printable downloads including a lovely “thank you” note template for children.
I asked Bley to share a little about herself and her shop with you:
My name is Bley Hack and I started Bibliosophy Handmade in 2012 to showcase my original watercolor artwork. I am inspired by all things vintage, and create nostalgic paintings, paper goods and home items to brighten your life. Sometimes we can lose the art of a hand-written note in our digital age, and I hope my stationery will encourage people to do some old-fashioned corresponding!
My husband and I live in the Midwest with our four young children. Inspired by my children, and by all families, I have recently started doing custom family portraits. I love to capture each family’s unique personalities in watercolor. I also love to create custom wedding stationery and birthday party packages.
Bley has generously offered to paint a custom family portrait for one Small Things reader! She is also giving 15% off anything in her shop through Friday, May 9th. Use coupon code GINNY14 to receive the discount.
For your chance to win, leave a comment on this post. For an additional chance to win, “like” Bibliosophy Handmade on Facebook and leave a second comment here letting me know that you’ve done so. Comments are closed and the winner is Sally who commented, “What beautiful work!”
