If you are visiting from SimpleMom, welcome. Today’s post happens to feature beautiful wall art as well.
This post is the last in a miniseries of summer giveaways, tomorrow the winners of the TJ Maxx and HGTV giveaways will be announced.
It is downright encouraging and inspiring to find people who are following their passion. One of those people is Jeanne Winters. She’s a devoted wife and mom, and she’s also a designer, author and serious artist who is intentional about adding meaningful beauty into her home by “fusing faith and decor”. She had me at designer.
Jeanne makes adding a little beauty look so simple. The surprising thing is, it IS simple, and then she gives us the tools to follow her lead at her blog.
Remember our swap meet last year? I made my friend Jen shout out instructions to everyone who attended. Jeanne had a swap as well. Of course, she had to be all organized and Jeanne about it and made these charming invitations and numbers so everyone could swap in an orderly fashion. Then she made it downloadable so we could all use them too. I just love that.
Naturally, Jeanne and DaySpring got together and wouldn’t you know, they have something great for us?
A word about DaySpring
DaySpring is Nesting Place’s biggest sponsor. I like them for lots of reasons, firstly, they have cute stuff, I mean, if their stuff wasn’t cute, no matter how great they were, there would be no relationship. They are wonderful people, they believe in meaningful beauty and, not only that, they make it a point to find regular people, moms like us, who are doing their art, and they feature us. Did you hear that? DaySpring makes it a habit to feature real people like Lisa Lenoard, Lindsey Cheney, Studio SDG, Holly Christine, Jennifer from Studio JRU, even The Nester. I’m thrilled to support a company who supports women like me. You don’t see Pottery Barn going out and partnering with bloggers and mom artists and then featuring them in their shops.
This is a photo of a wall in Jeanne’s house. Like all of us, she has an artist inside of her, but she has let her’s loose on canvas, with a bit of a retro twist.
Her canvases are framed up in thick rustic frames and are available through DaySpring. Don’t they look nice stacked up in my breakfast area?
These are huge, substantial pieces measuring 25 x 21 inches. Even though I knew the dimensions I was surprised at their wonderful size when I got them. They look good alone or in a group, and there’s no glass over the canvas, thank the Good Lord, you know how I dislike glass. You can see the entire collection here, I have a group of three in my home.
I like to think she created this one especially for me. She didn’t. But, I like to think she did. The verse at the bottom is Numbers 6:24.
Jeanne also wrote a book called Inspirational Home. It’s got ideas with photos on every page about how to incorporate words of encouragement into your home. And every idea is very do able. You could make all your Christmas gifts this year.
The Giveaway::
DaySpring is giving away one book for every 100 comments & three random winners will win a framed canvas of their choice. I would suggest the Bless our Nest but, you are free do do whatever cutes your loot. Check out the entire Jeanne Winters Collection and be sure to leave a comment to enter to win.
Love these! My favorite is “May your cup overflow”…it would look great in my kitchen! Plus, the book sounds fabulous!!!!! My heart is to decorate with inspirational and uplifting words—would love to win!
Love the “Fruit of the Spirit”, as it’s the colors in my kitchen!! I would love to win one!
I’d love to sit, read, and make things from that book.
I also wouldn’t mind having one of the Bless Our Nest canvases.
Thanks for the chance!
Wonderful! The Vine and Branches is my favorite.
I NEED this book! I just had a baby and I need to find the beauty in my house again. Heck, I just need to find my house again, but I’d love to be inspired by this book! And cute art would be nice too! :)
Love these so much and I NEED that book!
I LOVE the Vine and Branches print!
I think the book sounds fabulous! And I love the May your Cup Overflow canvas. What great inspiration, I’ll have to check out her blog!
What a lovely book and The Bless Our Nest canvas would be just perfect for our nest! Thank you!
These prints are adorable! My favorite is…..all of them!
CoUnt mE in!
I would love that book and one of the canvases. Love them!
ahhhh… you have some of the BEST giveaways. I’ll keep praying on this one. I need some good news this week! :)
Loving the DaySpring decor! Honestly, I never really realized that had such pretty things until I saw them in your blog!!!
would it be horrible to want one of EVERYTHING!?! :) her stuff is GREAT… loved the “cup of joy” canvas…. so cute! great giveaway – once again! :)
I would just like to say that my Dad won a 1966 Chevrolet Malibu … in 1966. But I have never won anything.
I need inspiration…. love the prints…. May your cup overflow….
I love her ideas and I would just love to read her book and incorporate some into my own little home.
The book in itself looks like a great decor piece with benefits and I love the Canvas’!
A “cup of joy”, we could all use that this day and time. The book looks joyful all by itself. Would be nice to have one of my very own. Thank you for all you do!!
Love the Dayspring site, I have to stay off of it b/c otherwise I’d be buying one of just about everything! :) The book and all of the prints are so inspiring and I would be grateful to win either..Thank you for the opportunity!
Oh my goodness! LOVE these! I’ve been wanting to find some creative ways to add scripture and inspiring messages into my home decor, but hub is not too keen on anything super flowery or sugary, and that is mostly what I’ve found. I love that these are super cute and adorable, and they don’t scream scripture but they are good reminders whenever you look at them. And I, too, love dayspring! I like to say I discovered them, I liked them way before they were so “cool”! :) Thanks for a great giveaway!
I’d love to win this giveaway..of course that’s what I said about the TJ Maxx and the reluctant entertainer, too! I hope i win! :)
Please. Pick. Me.
Randomly, of course.
Cause I can’t be a hundredth according to the numbers before I wrote this.
Would look great in my kitchen! Hope I win!!
Oooh, I’d love to win! Though I think I already won by finding your site! I hope you get a chance to look at mine!
I have wanted this book for awhile! I would love to win!
And while the bless this nest canvas is great, my top pick would be the beautiful in it’s time. :-)
Those canvases are so cool…love how you stacked them by your hutch, great idea!! Thanks for all the fun giveaways!
Oh, the book just needs me. Wait, reverse that. ;)
i love things that have meaning behind them. sometimes i think i have a hard time decorating because while i have “stuff”, it means nothing to me. so i don’t want to look at it. i love this giveaway because there is actually meaning in what you put on the walls!!!
Love these pictures! I would love to hang one, two, or ten all around my house!
Oh my goodness! I LOVE the bless our nest canvas. I could do my whole livingroom in those colors!
Never enter, never win…but hey I guess you should never say never because you never know! ;-)
Such pretties! Would love to win!!!
“Gotta happen sometime?” What a great motto. I’ll subscribe.
Blessings.

Oh, don’t let me be too late! I loves me some graphic printed goodness, and these are darling. I should win just for the length of time it took me to post this comment (don’t get me started…it’s my dumputers fault).
Oh, how perfect that “May your cup overflow” print would look in our kitchen!! And, one of the things I love about our home is that I try to decorate sentimentally, not just things that are pretty, but things that have meaning to us, so I’m thinking that book would be fantastic as well!
Pick me, Pick me!! :)
This book looks inviting and comforting a lot like the “My Cup Overflows” print would look in my kitchen
always entertaining and easy on the eyes
A very nice give-away. Thanks Nester!
Oh how adorable! I would love the crown print for my little girl! And her book looks AMAZING! Thanks Nester for the opportunity!
i love the “may your cup overflow” print. it would look great over the coffee bar in my office!
good giveaway, great hostess!
I am totally digging the dayspring stuff! Here’s to hoping I might win a contest and place the beautiful artwork in my home. Again, thanks for the inspiration you bring!!! :)
I love the Beautiful in it’s time print. But, honestly, I liked everything..
Thanks for the chance!
I liked everything. Thanks for the chance!!
WOW! How could one person have so much talent and be so happy and willing to share it with others? What a true blessing!!

I would love one of those cute paintings or the book!! I am an amateur painter, but have never done anything as small as 8×10….I am inspired. Maybe after my current project(s), I’ll get out the easel and paints!! Thanks DaySpring!!
The “Beautiful” print is my fave! I’m not going to be redundant and say it’s beautiful, but it really is. lol I’m sure I could find several tips from the book to freshen up our lil home. Thanks for the opportunity!
so cute. and that book looks very inspiring!
I would be delighted to win this book! I’m always looking for ways to ‘let my light shine’ !
