2010 Calendar Giveaway: delphine.
I’ve always been a fan of the clean and elegant designs delphine studio is best known for, so of course their 2010 letterpress calendar caught my eye the moment it was added it to their shop!
Twelve months full of their most award-winning designs, letterpressed with eco-friendly, soy-based inks on extra thick and luxurious 80% pcw recycled paper. (All you letterpress geeks like me can release your collective *sigh*!) It also comes with a heavy black easel for desk or tabletop display.
Today you have no one, but two chances to win one!
How to Enter:
1. Leave a comment (including your email address) before 5 pm CST today for one chance to win
2. Then head over to visit Greedy Girl for your second chance!
One winner will be chosen randomly here on Design Crush and one on Greedy Girl following the close of both blog giveaways. Best of luck!

Win It: Fréya Art & Design.
A few weeks ago I received a lovely email from Fréya and immediately fell in love with her beautiful, optimistic illustrations.

In other words, she rocks so much she’s made a career out of her awesomeness!
And now you have a chance to have it grace the walls of your home. The lovely Fréya is giving away my favorite print – Strange & Magnificent! {Her shop is currently closed because the lucky duck is on vacation, but when it reopens on the 15th please do pop over and see the rest of her inspiring prints.}

1. What your favorite personality trait is about yourself
2. Your email address to be notified if you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, October 19th at 9sm CST

I love, love, love the concept behind Sharon O’Connor’s MusicCooks – 15 themed collections of recipes with an accompanying CD of music to listen to while you’re cooking that matches the mood of the food! The recipe cards are sturdy and easy to clean, while the music features Grammy-award winning musicians and Sharon herself among other artists.
Thanks to Sharon and her lovely daughter, Claire, I have two collections to give away this week – Coffee Treats and Chocolate Bliss! Coffee Treats features muffins, scones and quick breads to enhance your coffee time and Brandenburg Concertos to tickle your eardrums. Ant then there is Chocolate Bliss which is just that, a chocolate lover’s dream come true! Seductive Bossa Nova music is paired with it to put you in the mood for romance.
As a little sneak peak of the sheer deliciousness that each collection holds, here’s a recipe from each for you to whip up and enjoy! For you coffee-time lovers, Buttermilk Currant Scones with Strawberry Preserves and for the chocoholics, Chocolate Silk Pie.

Win It: PaPaYa.
I first learned of PaPaYa a few years ago and have been impressed by their wide array of unique art and paper goods ever since. Founded by mother-daughter team Gina and Anahata Katkin in 2003, the company is centered around global culture, strong images and bright colors. Creative abandon is their company credo and I can’t think of anything better to live by.
PaPaYa launched a blog in August that’s full of daily inspiration from a group of talented contributors. It also boasts a large selection of resources to link to your heart’s content!
This week’s giveaway is the beautifully abstract Make Believe giclee (pronounced “gee-clay”) by artist Sabrina Ward Harrison. Giclee canvas prints are brimming over with vibrant colors and a richer feel than traditional art prints. Make Believe measures 14″ x 28″ and is mounted on sturdy panels, so comes ready to hang.
To Enter:
1. Tell me what you dreamed of becoming when you grew up
2. Leave your email address (those who do not will sadly be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, October 5th at 9am CST

Win It: Rachel Pfeffer Designs Winner.
Thanks so much to all of you who entered, I absolutely loved reading all of the ways you enjoy eating honey and can’t wait to try many of them myself! My favorite? It’s a toss-up between stirring it into hot tea with lots of lemon and putting gobs of it on peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I’d also like to send out a big thank you to Rachel for putting this much sought after necklace up for grabs!

Win It: Rachel Pfeffer Designs.
I love patterns. Especially the organic variety, they just somehow seem so much more magical. The fact that plants and animals are capable of creating such beauty is mind blowing to me! I’m going stretch so far as to say that Rachel Pfeffer probably agrees. She decided to craft this handmade honeycomb necklace after photographing the real thing.
To Enter:
1. Tell me your favorite way to eat honey
2. Leave your email address (those who do now are automatically disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, September 28th at 9am CST for a chance to win!
In the meantime, be sure to stop by Rachel’s shop to see her full line of intricate jewelry!

Win It: Sara Norris Photography Winner.
Congrats Michael! And thanks a million to Sarah for sponsoring such a fun and revealing contest.
My favorite photo of myself? This one. Taken by my dad’s best friend on a walk. Funny how the people who capture the best side of you are usually ones who know you so well.
