It’s been almost two months since I’ve blogged about Minted. Remember? I asked for your help in choosing a piece?
Well, for once, I didn’t forget to update you. I postponed this post on purpose. Why? Because one, Vishnu and I wanted to wait and see where he matched before we moved forward with our decision. And two, we had to wait for the pieces to be delivered before I could share more.
So here are the two prints we selected…
As I mentioned, we chose the foil art Georgia picture because that’s where we met and fell in love. Regardless of where life takes us, Georgia will always be home!
And the second piece of artwork we selected was the foil art Chicago city picture. This was the wait and see piece. Just like how Georgia/Atlanta holds a special place in our hearts, we’re certain Chicago will also be very near and dear to us.
While we decided to order just the prints, Minted also frames your selected artwork if you so choose. Since we know we have two moves coming up in the next year, we decided to hold off on framing these until we get settled in Chicago. That way there’s no chance of something will breaking and shattering during the actual moves!
I am totally in love with these prints and can’t wait to put them up in our new home! I also love how there’s a foil art print for every state and even some major cities. My next purchase will be a foil art print of Florida – our first home after marriage! Depending on how many moves we have in our future (hopefully not many), we can document our journey using this artwork.
And I have to note another cool aspect of Minted artwork. All of it comes from a talented community of independent artists from big cities and small towns all over the world. For example, the two artists who created our chosen pieces are Alex Elko from San Francisco and Eric Beckett from Los Angeles.
So now I have an awesome giveaway for all of you who may be looking for a fun new art piece to display in your home! Minted has graciously offered to give one reader a $50 gift card to used on Minted.com!
To enter please visit Minted and share which piece of artwork is your favorite.
I will be drawing a winner upon my return from Italy…so you have lots of time!
And speaking of Italy, I won’t be blogging while away, but feel free to follow along on mine and/or Vishnu’s Instagram accounts! I’m sure we’ll be posting lots of pictures from our adventures.
See you all in a couple of weeks!
Disclosure: I received Minted credit in exchange for writing this post. However, (as always) all opinions are my own.
have a wonderful trip you two.

Enjoy your trip! Italy is beautiful! Are you by any chance going to Florence? If so you should try this hole in the wall place called All’Antico Vinaio. It’s a panini place but it’s nothing like what you think of paninis in the states.
Have so much fun in Italy!!!! I can’t wait to see your pictures. If I had to pick one Minted piece it would be this one: http://www.minted.com/product/foil-stamped-wall-art/MIN-026-GFA/seattle-map

My husband and I met in Atlanta and it will forever be home to us as well! I think the gold foil Georgia piece is so perfect. It’s funny that you mentioned two of my favorite cities because we just went to Chicago last July and I fell in love with the city! If it wasn’t for the crazy weather I would move there in a heart beat!
Thanks for introducing me to Minted. I picked this artwork http://www.minted.com/product/custom-art-prints/MIN-0DL-NCA/animal-a-to-z?ccId=68211&org=title because I have a friend’s baby shower I’m planning and I think this would be perfect for the nursery.
Have a fabulous time in Italy! 🙂

My favorites are “A Little Kinder” and “Hallelujah.” Hard to choose just one…or two, or three, or…
Hope you are having a great trip. My favorite is the Love Location New Jersey to capture the state where my kids were born.
