Thanks!
hi Flora,
ReplyDeleteI would really like to have any of your beautiful calendars on my studio wall, for brighten up gray days and such. I like both calendars and I wouldn't mind if it's the French or the English version.
My email: esti(at)pintameldia(dot)com
lovely! i would like the version 1 in English! is great!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
p-s.i have also running a giveaway of one of my calendars on my blog!

Hello Flora
ReplyDeleteYour calendars are delicate and very cute... I'd prefer calendar#1 English version.
I'd like to share with you some winter pictures I took last week in my town: http://ladaridari.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-walk.html
Thank you,
Daria
I like your phrase 'everyone on the planet' so I decided to enter. I live in Hungary and read your blog because of your summer photos. To share something, I would tell a very simple handmade Christmas gift wrapping idea. Make a medium sized pom pom (yarn) then put a piece of yarn in it. It's actually an embellished ribbon to decorate a selected gift box. The colourful pom pom decorated packages look great together. I prefer calendar #1 in English.

Hello!!! Lovely giveaway thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour work is just scrummy... but out of the calendars I prefer #2 please, in English thank you!
My son whispered in my ear... ' if we have a sleep over at Grandma's we will get more presents!' - this was 3 days after Christmas!!!

have a lovely day!

Hello FLora, I've been following your blog for a while, but this is the first time I comment - I couldn't miss such a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to congratulate you for your beautiful photographic and artistic work, which I love.
If I'm the lucky winner I'd like to receive the calendar #2 in French :)
Thank you for this opportunity!

hi flora..
ReplyDeletei enjoyed last years calendar so very much.. thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration! kim
Greetings from Denmark :-) I find both calenders beautiful - but I think I like number 2 the most. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHello Flora,
ReplyDeleteI love your calendars and get them every year. I have 2009 and 2010. I would prefer calendar number 1 in English. My email address is lmilburn@meca.edu
I have been following your work through etsy and your blog. I just love your illustrations. Plus your fish are adorable as well. Have any New Years plans? Mine is to start to print my own fabric. I can't wait! :) This is the type of work I do now: thelindentree.etsy.com.
I don't have any recipes, on positive thoughts to you and your family for the new year.
Thanks,
Lindsey
Flora, your calendars are super-charming! I like #2 the best (in English). Here's to a fabulous year of atmospheric photos, beautiful watercolor, and lots of good times with friends and family. And thanks for doing a giveaway! (mail@amyfarrier.com)
ReplyDeleteAs for veg recipe, I like a little red quinoa w/chopped avocado, toasted walnuts, and lemon coriander vinaigrette.
Oh... ils sont si jolis ces calendriers. J'aime le 1er en anglais (je n'aurai pas de soucis de traduction!) J'ai prévu un voyage à Londres ce printemps. Ca serait top de l'avoir dans mon sac. Je remarque que je suis la première à laisser un commentaire en français... mais je n'ai pas trop d'aisance à écrire dans la langue de Shakespeare. Sorry...
ReplyDeleteBravo pour ton travail Flora, toujours si délicat...
Oh chouette !
ReplyDeleteMoi qui voulais le #1 mais qui suis désargentée, une dernière chance s'offre à moi !
En Français ou en anglais, peu importe.
Et voici une petite recette !
(la version avec image ici.)
Muffins à la pistache
Pour : une dizaine de muffins
Préparation : 10 min
Cuisson : 15 min
Difficulté : facile
Ingrédients :
* 150 g de farine
* ½ sachet de levure chimique
* 50 g de sucre
* 1 pincée de sel
* 12 cl de lait
* 75 g de beurre
* 1 œuf
* 6 càs de pistaches émondées non salées
Préparation :
Préchauffez le four th. 7.
Mélangez la farine, la levure, le sucre, le sel. Puis incorporez le lait, l'œuf, le beurre fondu. Ajoutez la moitié des pistaches concassée, un quart des pistaches entières.
Versez la pâte dans des moules (en laissant une marge pour les laisser gonfler) et décorez avec le quart restant des pistaches. Laissez cuire 20 min à 180°C.
Voilà ! Ils ont fait un tabac à Noël chez moi, avec un glaçage rose en plus si vous aimez manger des trucs qui ont des couleurs étranges ;-)

Bonjour!
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ton blogue!
Tout y est beau ici!
Voilà, si je gagne, j'aimerais la version #1 (en fait je les aime les deux...) en français.
jasminepistache[at]gmail[dot]com
Je te souhaite une magnifique année!
Wow! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI like both calenders but if I have to pick one I pick the second one.
Your calenders are the best!

My favorite vegan recipe is for raw cacao balls. I make this when I want a quick sweet fix.
ReplyDelete2 TB organic raw cacao powder
1 tsp agave syrup
1 tsp raw organic coconut butter
1 tsp raw organic coconut oil
mix them all together and enjoy a very rich delightful treat. Mix it up with add ins like chopped nuts, bee pollen, peanut butter, fresh coconut chunks... LOVE this guilt-free treat.
I like Calendar 1 in French.
Dear Flora, I have alredy got the No 1 calendar but I would be very hapy to win another one to give it to my best friend. Wish you all the best for 2011!
ReplyDelete#2, in english, would be so welcome on my wall.
ReplyDeletei have your 2010 calendar up by my desk. simple shapes & colours can be so inspiring.
happy 2011!
I have just fallen in love with your blog over the past few weeks; it's at the top of my favorites list right now. I'd be delighted to have Calendar no. 2!
ReplyDeleteEu quero um calendário, em francês... :-) Simplesmente porque ele é lindo!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Flora! Would you believe that I don't even have a 2011 calendar yet? I love version 1 the most.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite vegan treat to make at the moment is cashew cream. Just soak plain, raw cashew nuts overnight in water. They will be all puffy. Then, put them in a blender until they turn into a lovely, fluffy cream. It is a great substitute for dairy cream. You can eat it plain, or you can add some vanilla pods and/or cocoa for a bit of flavour. Or whatever you like! I think I want to eat some now!
I really like both calendars, but #2 has a certain "je ne sais quoi" about it! Mmm, that cashew cream above sounds lovely! shaniestozek at hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteDepuis un moment maintenant je passe ici régulièrement.
ReplyDeleteLe calendrier #1 en français me plaît bien...
Sinon en proposition: mon coup de coeur musical du moment... Sarah Blasko, si tu ne connais pas, Enjoy !
what a special giveaway! it was hard to pick, but i would love #2 in english, if i win!
ReplyDeletegracefullady@gmail.com
thank you!
Les jolis calendriers... Lequel choisir ? Après mûres réflexions j'opte pour le #1, en français.
ReplyDeleteEt puis je te dirai également que j'aime tes trouvailles qui envoient le bois ;)
(mon mail : fanny.cavin[at]yahoo[dot]fr)

oooo i LOVE #2, and since i need to brush up on my french, i'd prefer that version.
ReplyDeletei wish i had a vegan recipe to share. sadly, i'm addicted to mcdonald's (i know, it's appalling) and otherwise, i tend to eat bread and cheese, and chocolate. it's a miracle i'm alive, i think
blissfulchick@ymail.com - thanks for the opportunity! happy 2011
I just discovered your art and I am a big fan. #1 in English would be awesome to win. I looking forward to receiving my goblins print too (its in the mail.) I'll be putting it in my son's nursery.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed and successful 2011!

Thanks and hugs
Flora, hi!
ReplyDeleteI’d be so thrilled to have one of your calendars! Should I win the giveaway, calendar # 2, in French, please.
By way of sharing something in return, I offer the following verse – so appropriate tonight as we await snow here. Amazing how waking up to a fresh snowfall can turn a jaded grown-up into a delighted child. Can't wait!
“Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.”
~Bill Morgan, Jr.
Bonne nuit,

Hello Flora
ReplyDeletei would love calendar 2 in frech pretty please! i love your work and wish you and yours a happy new year! Bonne annee!
Mary
Wonderful Flora. I love both calenders, so hard to choose one. Ok....hmmm....oh....calender 1 please. Fingers crossed and happy new year!
ReplyDeleteHi Flora,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the giveaway. I would love to get calendar number 2 in french.
I love that people write comments in english even though they're French :-)
Have you ever tried making your own granola? It is really easy and cheap, and it is vegan (I looked up the word in a dictionary to be sure of what it meant exactly). There's a really nice recipe in Breakfast Lunch Tea by Rose Carrarini (and you can find the recipe on the Internet really easily).
Only found out about your blog today and then the give away! What a coincidence!!
ReplyDeleteWould be nice to have the version 1 Calendar in French!
dallnatz@gmail.com
Merci!
I prefere number one. all your work is so pretty <3
ReplyDeletemy email is: nush.fn@gmail.com
Yes I like them both but I am going to go for number 2 in English please.
ReplyDeleteMy email is: jacquidodds(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
J'adore les deux calendriers! Donc tu peux choisir pour moi si je gagne. Mais je préfère d'avoir le version Anglais, je suis Hollandaise tu sais et malgré je habite en France, l'anglais est toujours plus facile pour moi.
ReplyDeleteAllez je joue aussi !
ReplyDeleteSi je gagne, j'aimerais bien avoir le calendrier #2 en français, ça serait chouette.
Et voilà pour toi :
