A giveaway on Nest by Tamara, beautiful emerald green framed prints from J. Pocker framing

I am happy to offer a spring gift, 

 a "giveaway"

 for reading  

Nest by Tamara!

J. Pocker Framing 

has generously given me a pair of these gorgeous chair prints, 

which are illustrated then painted 

in the Pantone color of the year, 

Emerald Green.  

the story began when the framing company invited me to their shop on 63d and Lexington Avenue in New York City for a press breakfast, then generously offered to frame my own art in order to showcase their quality work.
I was over the moon.  You may remember I wrote about the beautiful prints which hang over my bed in my Tiffany blue-colored bedroom.  Soon, J. Pocker's owner, Robyn Pocker and I began chatting about a charity event I am helping to organize for the IFDA organization on May 16.  The event is called Take A Seat chair auction, and is concurring simultaneously with both our Japan and California chapters.  In NYC, 24 local designers are up-cycling chairs, which will then be displayed in the Lillian August showroom and windows starting today, and on display until the auction on May 16.  Interior designer Jamie Drake and professional auctioneer Karl Green will conduct a live auction of all the chairs, and proceeds will go to hurricane victims (locally to Hurricane Sandy victims, and in Japan to the Tsunami victims).
