  1. Oh my gosh, how are we supposed to pick our favorite?They are all gorgeous, Laurel! I adore "Flowers for Katie" but I think my favorite, after much debate, is "Maroon & Mint Flowers", it is stunning! I would hang it in my living room!

    ReplyDelete

  2. I'm a follower of your blog - you are so talented! I would be so happy to receive any of these prints, but if I had to choose, I'd pick "Rain" and hang it in my dining room!

  5. I absolutely love these prints - the broken-down quality and vibrant colors are gorgeous. Flowers for Lady is my favorite. The blue tones in the backgorund would go perfectly with my grey and blue bathroom! I also am an avid subscriber of your blog and follow you on facebook! I shared a link to one of my faves :)

    ReplyDelete

  6. Flowers for Lady print... HANDS DOWN!! If I am lucky enough to win this I will hang it in my moms dining room( I live with parents) and if not, It will go in my "hope chest" with all of my other jewels ready to be placed in my future abode :) It could be my inspiration piece!

  7. How exciting! Congrats!
    For me it's a toss up between the nook flowers and abode roses. All so pretty and would likely be added to a gallery wall I'm working on.

    ReplyDelete

  10. OH WOW. These are beautiful! I kept seeing ones that I LOVED and then scrolling and falling in love over and over again! If I MUST choose just one, I love the "rain" one but they're all gorgeous! I have a place above my dresser that's begging for a print...

    ReplyDelete

  18. They are all so stunning! I would pick "Flowers for Alison", I just love the colors. I would put it in my guest room on my now blank wall. It would make the room!

    ReplyDelete

  20. I liked you on Facebook (wish I could love)

    ReplyDelete

  22. Laurel, you are so talented! I have so many favorites! If I HAD to pick one, 'Flowers for Katie' would be my favorite, because it would be the PERFECT replacement for my Jack Vettriano print in my living room. I've been trying to get rid of it for a year ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  23. Posted the giveaway and your bigcartel site on FB :)

    ReplyDelete

  26. Of course, I 'liked' your FB page long ago :)

    ReplyDelete

  27. If I had to choose just one, I think it would be the Maroon and Mint. My husband and I are currently buying our first home and it would be the perfect piece of artwork to go in it!

    ReplyDelete

  28. I just liked your page on facebook, not sure why it took me so long!

    ReplyDelete

  29. LOVE roses for dawn! Though I have to say it's awfully hard to choose just ONE favorite! They are all stunning! I would definitely hang this one in my entry where I copied your striped walls! :)

  49. This is sooo exciting! Now instead of saving the invitations you made for Erin's wedding shower, I can own another piece of artwork from you that's more fitting for my walls! ;) These pieces of amazingness have a very Anthro feel to them and would all go perfectly in my Anthro-obsessed bedroom. Since I have a roommate and not a place to call my own, I WILL proudly hang "Rain" over my bed - safe enough to keep away from strangers but public enough for all to see! You best believe Kaila and I are gonna gab over this at lunch!! SOOO proud!! :)
