Happy Monday! Today I’m psyched to share a little bit about the lovely, talented Kristen Sutcliffe of New House Project. Kristen has a passion for crafting, and she’s always making things in her home. (This is not the point where you beat yourself up for not being the crafty-type. I won’t if you won’t.) In fact, her Jumping Cup Handmade Toy was recently featured on Bloesem Kids. 

I’d like to invite you to visit Kristen’s Etsy shop, where she uses local and re-purposed materials for many of her shop items. Her latest addition to the shop is a collection of soft and sweet 6″ x 6″ art pieces with vintage fabric appliqued and hand-stitched onto thick canvas. Kristen recently hung a small collection of wall art in her daughter’s bedroom. What I love is that this simple decorative collage adds warmth and happiness to the home.  

You can also find some beautiful vintage ribbon in her shop, like the pink and green floral embroidered ones pictured below. 

And now for my favorite part: Kristen is sharing her talent right here with us today! She has generously offered to give away a toddler apron to one lucky turnitupmom reader. Kristen’s aprons are handmade from vintage re-purposed fabric. If you have a toddler who likes to paint, cook, or make a mess (I think that covers all of them), then this one’s for you! Here’s how to win: 

1.  Explore Kristen’s Etsy shop, New House Project, and then leave a comment on this post, telling me which apron you would like to win.  

2.  If you’d like to earn extra entries, you can Facebook, twitter, or blog about New House Project and this giveaway. Then come back and, in a separate comment, tell me how you’ve spread the word!

On Monday, October 19th, 8 p.m. EST, one winner will be randomly selected by Random.org. You must be a U.S. resident (18+) to enter. Good luck!

Congratulations to #50, Sarah C!

I am so excited to share a fabulous line of modern wall decor from Petit Collage with you!  Founder Lorena Siminovich is a San Fransisco based artist, designer, and illustrator.  Lorena’s extensive career as an art director has earned her international praise from clients like Anthropologie, Pottery Barn Kids, and Habitat UK. Each of Petit Collage’s modern goods is handcrafted in America and produced in a sustainable manner.

If you love modern with a vintage flair, then you’ve come to the right place!  I couldn’t help but smile when I spotted these whimsical home accents.  You absolutely must check out the limited edition, one-of-a-kind paper collages created on eco-friendly maple plywood.  Each collage is designed with found, vintage, and painted papers from around the world.  They are guaranteed to add a touch of fresh and fun to any room in your home.

Petit Collage has been highlighted in the press for stylish, green nursery decor. If you are looking to go organic and to design a space for your baby with a clean, modern look, then you will love these bamboo mobiles. This Bird Trio would add natural beauty to a kitchen or bedroom as well.  

Petit Collage is the source for modern, decorative wall art, including affordable prints on wood, growth charts, canvas prints, and posters.  And Lorena has generously offered to give away an alphabet poster (valued at $50) to one turnitupmom reader!  They are available in three different color schemes and are printed on 100% recycled paper.  Here’s how to enter: 

1. Visit Petit Collage and choose your favorite alphabet poster. 

2. Sign up for their mailing list.  This will allow you to receive updates about new products or collage styles. (This list is private and will never be shared.) Send an email to: orders(at)petitcollage(dot)com.  

3. In the subject line write, “turnitup giveaway”.  In the message, choose your favorite poster! 

4. Cross your fingers that YOU were the 15th person to sign up for their mailing list!  The 15th person wins!!

This giveaway will continue until we have a winner, but I have an inkling that it won’t take long.  Good luck!
