***forgot to mention i will announce the winners on sunday morning!***
advice to sink in slowly is a project which began in 2006 at the University College Falmouth, where 19 graduates were asked to create a poster w/ advice and inspiration for first year students. the project has continued to grow with prints available online. and now, 24 posters from the project have been chosen and made into a postcard book.
john stanbury, the director behind the project contacted me and has offered to GIVE AWAY (yay!!) 4 books to the readers of my love for you! i just received my copy, and i love it. not only are the postcards great to send thoughtful, inspirational mail to your friends, but they also look great just taped above one's desk, or in the hall, or over that hole where you butchered the wall trying to find a stud...so please leave a comment and i will choose 4 readers at random, and you will receive a copy of this beautiful post card book from john himself. a pretty, pretty great way to start the weekend!
CHOOSE ME! CHOOSE ME! :) PLLLLEASE?! :)
