Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and a restful weekend! I just put my little feet up and snacked on chocolate, hot cross buns and tea all day long. Pure bliss!

That's right ladies and gentlemen, I promised I'd pass around a little of my recent good luck, so here it is! And yes, by first installment I mean that there will be more. Many more. I'm especially excited to be sharing the love around this week because I have some fantastic help from the lovely people at...
Up for grabs for one lucky reader is any item from The Shiny Squirrel that happens to be $30 or less!

Thanks for the chance to win from such a lovely store! I love the Goblins print by Flora Douville. Have a happy Monday!
Thanks for the chance! I love the print, "Balloon Ride" because I totally feel like that on good days :)
mkeylon@centurytel.net
So many gorgeous stuff! I'm in love so many of them, but the Bloom Card series caught my eye! :) samanthacje@hotmail.com
hi. my favourtie is the "crying girl" because i've just recently been through a tough time and had had to keep strong and it reminds me that sometimes, its ok to cry.

Hello!
I love the "bee eater" by Lila Ruby King. I own three birds of my own and I completely support the motto "the more the merrier" whether its real birds or photos :)
thanks so much, love your blog as always...
clarice.connors@gmail.com
Your such a darling, generous girl!!
This is a fabulous giveaway! Thank you :)
My favourite is... "Balloon Ride"by Samantha Hahn, so pretty!!
I hope you have had a fabulous easter and long weekend! Mmm and hot cross buns ♥ I missed them this year! If only france made them too.
Have a lovely week darling xxx
allmakebelieve@live.fr
I hope you had a great Easter! Always a pleasent holiday :) Low stress.
But I don't want to pick just one HAHA I know I am being greedy!
Mademoiselle under the rain by Gomez, I am a sucker for the rain and especially if it is colored rain!
Thanks for hosting!
Smooches

Ms Unreliable,
that was a very hard task you just had us do! I looked through almost everything and I really loved the bear mask but if I had to choose my favorite 30 or under item I would choose: Jupiter by MollyButterFoss (a made up name?) It is so cutely portraying how you may not want to take that leap, but it is so tantalizing....or at least that's what I see. The website is seriously fabulous and I'm glad to shake hands with it! By the way I forgot to mention before that "drum up a little buzz" is one of my favorite phrases you have used-delightful!
Oh i love the one from Justin Wallis.The picture looks happy and positive. Suitably by the spring which has just entered here in Germany.
My first time to your blog, and what a nice welcome! Also my first time to Shiny Squirrel — I feel like I've been living under a rock! What beautiful stuffs!!!
I love Blanca Gomez's "Gift".
Also Brian Patenaude's "Floating Parligan".
And Yellow Monday's "Dancing Owl".
I could go on... WOW!
http://www.mchenwears.com/blog
I have to say my favorite is "Bag Girl Stripe Brown". It's so simple and cute! :D This is a cool contest. :)
sophiepeaches@gmail.com
What a great site!! I love Dancing Owl by Yellow Monday.

I am IN LOVE with the "Look on the Bright Side" print by Samantha Hahn. I think it might actually help me... look on the bright side :)
And "Monsieur III" by Bianca Gomez.
Seriously awesome stuff. Thanks for doing this!
kmarshall222@gmail.com
Cool contest!
My favorite (which was hard to narrow down) is "Monsieur IV" by Blanca Gomez. I love the whimsy, the colors and who doesn't love blowing bubbles?!
It would look fabulous in any of the rooms of our new home, but I'm thinking the colors would fit the bright, whimsical theme of our main/children's bathroom.
Thanks!
thank you for introducing us all to this lovely site. so much to look at and enjoy and i loved the Paper Bag girls on the opening page. A little more exploring led me to the work of Emmi Jormalainen. Emmi is Finnish and I love Finnish art and illustration. Like me, Emmi loves the Moomins. Her delightful painting Hold My Hand has especially captured my imagination - I like to think that with the help of her friends, the little girl will be able to overcome her fears and forfil her dreams.
I love the Bloom Card Series by Sub-Studio as well as Sampler Card Set by Sarah.
I am a big believer of handwritten correspondence and these are a gorgeous way to let someone know they are special.
My favorite of favorites (which is exceedingly hard to pick when there is just SO much goodness over at The Shiny Squirrel) would have to be Gemma Correll's "I Like It When We Share" print. It's my favorite because it's a.) adorable, b.) true & c.) because I'd like to share a giant ice cream with a lovely lad. ( mallory (AT) wherethelovelythingsare.com is my email address).
what a rad site. all this online shopping is going to send me broke.
my fav is the coffee pot plate. if i don't win it (which is likely because my luck is flat-lining at the mo') - i'll buy it because it's gorgeous and i love the colour and i must have it.
My favorite is actuallt the Cascading Cupcakes you've shown here.
Why?
Because it goes just swell with my new outlook on life that is, to be as lighthearted and fun as possible and this will help me by bringing a smile to my face each and every time I set my gaze in its direction.
my email is kitisnothxc@yahoo.com.
:)
I like Balloon Ride by Samantha Hahn - cause I just want to float away sometimes and this would be the landing since judging from the background it is Paris?
sillypuppy@woolyninja.com
I am loving the print 'Boudoir Key 2'....a little bit sweet and a little bit sexy, while still capturing a breath of whimsy!
prettyoungthingblog@gmail.com
My favourite is Samantha Hahn's 'Look on the bright side'. I love it because it might just remind me to do just that every now and then. Very upbeat and positive. :)
loupitas@gmail.com
Thanks! :)
Well Done! What a lovely giveaway. I particularly like the I MAKE THINGS - PURPLE
print by Samantha Hahn.
Also want you to know - your blog is an absolute pleasure, as are your little comments on twitter.
Kindest Regards
Jane
My favourite is the crying girl print by Samanthat Hahn because of the way it uses the colour pink - not usually one of my favourites. Thanks for an awesome competition. I don't actually know if my email is displayed so it's: kapow_chelsea@hotmail.com
oo pretty things, pretty things!
i love "mademoiselle under the rain" by blanca gomez - because i live in a very rainy city and it makes me sad. a lot. but mademoiselle with her colorful raindrops cheers me up. equally as much. :]
your blog makes my life better!! so does your twitter! xoxoxo
There were so many I liked, I do love that site so thanks for reminding me. I'll go with "Buttons" it is just so cool with the green of the boots and the negative colors of the girl and her dog.
Kit, Thank you for having such a great blog.
jana
All the artists are so cool and talented!
I love "Monsieur II". The different colored balloons and the french character are too cute. It is such a great piece to being in some color to a space. Thanks for the chance!
kgill2@gmail.com
The Coffee Pot Plate would look super cute in my kitchen!
fmaurici@gmail.com
Happy Moment by Shira Sela is my favorite, because... well, I like happy moments!
Under $30, I'd pick Monsieur I by Blanca Gomez, because it would remind me to be happy, even on rainy days :)
trumpet.you.up@gmail.com
I like Monsieur I by Bianca Gomez (and I don't think I'm the only one!)
It's so simple yet you can say so much through it.
It would remind you to be hopeful and stay positive through both rain and shine because you never know what's ahead.
I love the use of colours and the all round simplicity of the clouds and images and I think it could bring a smile to the face of anyone.
emma.stuart1@gmail.com
Cute contest! I too ate way too much chocolate, but it was the Sour Patch Kids that did me in.
I love "Mademoiselle under the rain" by Blanca Gomez. It is cheerful in its adorable simplicity, and is signed by the artist. Which is pretty cool.
(If I smoked I would have chosen "Need a Few" by Dallas Shaw. It was great).
melski.michelle@gmail.com
What a lovely contest!
I loved the "I Make Things" print in blue. I'm in product development...so it seemed perfect for me.
:) Happy Chick
ginnyneile@sbcglobal.net
I love the 'not ironic' print with the moustache! Heheh. They're all so cute though.
I love Blanca Gomez's work, particularly 'Mademoiselle Under the Rain'. The coffee pot plate is also really cute. Thanks for introducing us to the website, and also offering this wonderful contest!
Luv Bianca Gomez, especially Fete Print!
Thank you for sharing.

Oh my goodness, I've never seen this website before, and I'm so in love with it!
I adore the 'Kiss' print by Kate Banazi and 'Extinction' print by Molly Butterfoss. I'm not sure which I love more, because the 'Kiss' print is done originally, and it's just so simple but cute. I have a soft spot for love-related things. However, I love the 'Extinction' one because of the fact that there's a dinasaur in it.. a dinasaur! How awesome!
Anyways, I really hope you pick me, I'm in major need of something new, I've been saving for school and motivation is minimal here.
slaselva@gmail.com
P.s. I clearly have issues spelling 'dinosaur'. Please don't let that be a factor in deciding, haha. It's been a long week.
there are so many. i'm completely rife with ecstasy at this place. Thanks for the info! I would love the the bloom card series by sub studio (though "art a pus" from fabian's workshop is SUCH a close second).
email alisha@alishastamper.com
p.s. I NEVER win. pick me pick me!!
what a great opportunity!
i love village 1 by kate pugsley.

YAY!!
xoxo
Thank you for the giveaway and for your wonderful blog!
I really like Present from Blanca Gomez. It's so simple and reminds me of my relationship with my husband!
:) kristie@desartdesigns.net
I'm loving the birds on bloom print. But the whole lot of art is really lovely.
The Sampler Card Set is lovely. It'll be perfect to send on any occasion.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

Katy Horan

Wow! This is amazing! And it's great that you're offering this giveaway contest!
I absolutely LOVE Leola and Mattieu. I am a HUGE fan of lions, and I think that both of those pieces are BEAUTIFUL! And I love that she calls them fabric sculptures!
Enjoy your weekend!
