A glimpse of Vintage Autumn Basics and a giveaway

 

Posted on August 25, 2013 by Jenny Grotherus

 

the large grandfather’s clock in the library has just chimed six o’clock. The deep sound has started to fade away while the Autumn darkness spreads its wings. Some heritage photos lie on the heavy library table together with grandmother’s old books and grandfather’s music papers. Memories of a time gone by.
The window ledge is covered by frost. The first snowflakes of the season find their way to the ground as the children play outside. They raise their heads towards the sky and welcome them with joy. The summer has passed us for this time.
The quiet, peaceful Autumn is a time to reflect and capture your memories. Sit by the window and see how nature is slowly going to sleep, all while you are scrapping your best memories from the past.
Vintage Autumn Basics is the third ‘Basics Collection’ in the series. The colours reflect this twilight time of year, but are still mixable with the other Basics collections. These papers have been designed to enhance your family’s treasured memories and strong heritage, but with a reminder to live in the present.
We will start shipping during the second week of September, so make sure not to miss them when they reach a store near you. Please check our store finder to find a retailer in your area.
But… No previews without a giveaway. We will draw three happy winners that will win the new collection in 6×6 or 12×12. All you have to do is…

• Write a comment on this posting telling us why you should be one of the winners
• Become a follower of this blog
• Like us on Facebook or start following us on Twitter
• Spread the word about the giveaway on your own blog, forums, Facebook etc.

Remember that we’ve changed the number of winners in the past before if there are a lot of entries. We will announce the happy winners September 24th.

Thank You Card
