....and the winner is "A Gift Wrapped Life"
Firstly, the "potager garden artwork" that I posted yesterday goes to the randomly selected winner- "A gift wrapped life" - most deservedly so, since this summer, her garden has been demolished by a street wide debacle, otherwise known as construction.

Secondly, what would it take to win you over?
A lush garden of earthly delights?
(The above illustration belongs to a gentleman with a green thumb for the garden and home.
Win me over and tell me who? His heavenly garden transformation has been the envy of many.)

Perhaps a wheelbarrow of freshly laundered faded florals to lay down in the grass with the one you love. A picnic basket of some fresh strawberries, fromage, a crusty bit of bread and a little wine....

and then after you wake up from an afternoon dream, you could skinny dip here...
or you could just unwrap all those glorious boxes that Sande tempts us with!
Congrats to Sande and I now have the challenge of wrapping my framed work of art to send to a wrapper extraordinaire!
Thanks to each of you for your comments!
You have no idea as to how they win me over and how full of gratitude I am to each of you!
Congrats to the winner. Love the pretty garden but I'm not sure who it belongs to. I'm going to guess Eddie Ross.
ReplyDeleteKwana,
ReplyDeleteThanks dear -nope, but you are close!

Congrats to your licky winner-I know she will be thrilled beyond words. Will you be gift-wrapping your garden of delight? I can't guess who this beautiful garden might belong to. Can't wait to hear.
ReplyDeleteOhhh...perhaps it would be the dream of ArchitectDesign???
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous news to wake up to! I am so excited to have my own PVE artwork and it will inspire me next spring when I reconstruct my garden. Thank you Patricia!!! You decide on the framing......you are the artist! I will be thrilled beyond words to hang this in my home and be reminded of my talented blogger friend. XO
ReplyDeleteI can picture his house, and his dignified way of speaking, however, I can't think of his name. Suspense is kind of fun.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news- Congratulations Sande! Patricia, she now has a beautiful garden all year around to admire and be admired by others.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for this wonderful giveaway. xoxo
Congrats winner! She is very lucky!

Congratulations to "A Gift Wrapped Life", love the beautiful print she won.
ReplyDeleteThe garden is so pretty, wondering who it belongs too!
The pool looks so inviting and cool.

Congratulations to Gift Wrapped Life! I just love when things work out this way: that someone whose own garden has been taken from her now receives an everlasting garden from you, Patricia.
ReplyDeleteRats! I sooo wanted to win that one... It's definitely one of my favorites of the paintings you've featured.
ReplyDeleteYippee for Sande! So deserved! And PVE, I totally understand how you must feel to send a wrapped package to the Queen of Pretty Presents!
ReplyDeleteSome climbing roses, a few Macintosh squares, a thermos of tea, and a deliciously scandalous novel...all the ingredients for my garden of delight.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - she's got a delightful blog! I've no idea who owns that lovely garden, but I'll be checking back to find out.
ReplyDeleteYour design is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Sande, well deserved. May your new garden be a reflection of all the things you love!
ReplyDeleteBlessings...
So pretty! I love the garden scene.
ReplyDeleteA huge congratulations to the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteMichael Devine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Lucky winner!! And how appropriate!
ReplyDeleteEvy-
ReplyDeleteYou are correct! That glorious garden does belong to Michael Devine!
Thanks for your comment....I know the others will love knowing who that garden belongs to!

Good memory test, pve! I just had to jump in there!
ReplyDeleteBlogs and home magazines do give such insight and inspiration!
I love your illustration! The stone surrounding the pool looks like such a beautiful perfect color.
