  1. This is such a fun giveaway - thank you for organising and congratulations on your etsy sales milestone!

    For my dream summer holiday, I would like to visit Santinori and go snorkling and on long, cliff top walks looking over the azure blue sea.

  2. Good morning Luzelle! :)

    Without a doubt, the whole Top Hat Handymen team would love to be whisked away to the lovely climes of Jamaica where we'd bask in the sunshine and the clear blue seas without a plastering job in sight ha ha

  3. Love the whale : )

    I would love to go stay in a little cottage somewhere in the Spanish sunshine. With lots of sleepy mornings and red wine.

  4. I want to go to the pristine beaches of Mexico for my summer holiday! I'd purchase a brightly coloured poncho for my SA winters, take walks on the white sand and go exploring for some mexican bric a brac to bring home with me.

  5. I would repeat the most insane summer holiday I had a few years ago.
    Culture, people, shopping and INSANE use of three weeks holiday!

    New Delhi, Varanasi, Calcutta (India), Siem Reap (Cambodia), Hanoi (Vietnam), Bangkok (Thailand)

    We came home jet lagged, tired, but full of memories that will last forever. Would repeat ANY time!

  6. My twin 3 year-olds would rescue Marlin and Dory from the whale's tummy, and snorkel with them along the coral reefs of Australia,looking at all the beautiful fish swimming out of colourful anemones. We would then sit on the beach and eat cheese!

  7. Just one location? But it's so hard to choose!

    Right now I'd go island hopping in the South Pacific, sun and sea, sandy beaches and nothing to do but relax.

    Ask me tomorrow and you would probably get a totally different answer!

  9. I have been eyeing your shop for a while and love your stuff. Robot pillow cases - amazing!

    There are so many place I want to go but this year my bf and I are heading two Croatia with some friends. We have a few days in Dubrovnik staying in a converted monastery near the beach and then a week on one of the islands in a house 50m from the beach! Can you say bliss! Imagining lots of evenings enjoying the sunshine with some wine and good company.

    p.s. I am also originally from CT.

  10. What a beautiful site. I am absolutely amazed! Already saving to buy some of your prints!

    For my perfect holiday I'd jet off to Iceland in summer. What can be better than to be surrounded by forests, meadows and glaciers. Sipping on icewine while waiting for nightfall to wallow in the aurora borealis. Bliss.

    Godspeed.

  11. Oh fantastic, well done on the 500 sales!

    I think we might actually be going on a pretty amazing holiday in August staying in an assortment of places ranging from swanky little hotel to shed by the sea!

  12. My dream summer vacation would be to Greece. I have never been to Europe, and while it's a hard pick, the blue waters of Greece are all too alluring as is the food!

    Congrats on your success, your prints are fabulous!

    xo,

  17. Gee Luzelle, what a great Whale and what a great, grand sales-milestone that is.

    Me and my family have had a very busy year with lots of worries about all kind of things happening around us. Things that caused us to spend more time away from home than we ever wished to be. So we will be spending our Dream Summer Holiday lying all day in our OWN grass in our OWN backyard and be as happy as can be.

    :)

  19. Well if I could hang out in a our french hideaway all summer I gladly would, but don't think the brother's would allow it...so I'd say Australia, as lots of special friends and family have moved out there over the years and I'd love to go and visit them all..in a campervan. Love how you are doing so well, the prints are just right! And the whale and the manor garden are my faves.

  20. Great work :)

    I'd grab my wife and head straight to the East Coast of Canada. I'd pack a tent, a cooler, a few books, some wine, great music and just drive...

    Good luck and great prints!

  25. Just stumbled upon your blog :) and glad I did.

    Had to wait a while for blogger to return to normal before I comment, but here I am.

    Dream holiday: Would love to spend a week in the platteland, where I grew up. I know it doesn't seem like much, but a "regte plaas vakansie" would be awesome. :)
