Winter can be tough, especially if you live in a part of the country where winter seems to be never-ending — after months of cold weather, snow days and bad weather, boredom sets in and you’ve likely exhausted all of your ideas for entertaining little ones suffering from cabin fever.

Earth Friendly Etsy: Win! A Peris & Corr Recycled Love Poster

This week’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway from Peris and Corr couldn’t be more timely. One lovely reader will win a beautiful recycled love poster just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Peris and Corr is a textile and screen printing company run by Dyfrig Peris and Jennie Corr who both have backgrounds in Fine Art. Peris and Corr have an unconditional love for great design, screen-printing and the environment.

All of Peris and Corr’s products are designed and hand printed in their studio located in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. You will find a large collection of hand-made organic textile products and screen-printed greeting cards. My favorites are the posters, purses and cushions.

The love poster is hand screen-printed using Permaset Inks that are solvent free water-based inks. Yay! And all of the textiles are made using organic cotton or hemp and their cards and posters are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled papers. Fantastic.

Jump over to Peris and Corr and pick up something for someone you love, then leave a comment below!

**Giveaway will end on February 23rd.
