I am HOME safe & sound~~It feels like I have been gone for
a very very long time...
and I missed you All very much!
I first want to say
Merci Beaucoup Mes Amis
for all your fun wishes that you sent with me!
I carried them in my pocket every step of
the way~
The adventure of the brocantes &
treasures troves were an experience
all in themselves and were truly truly
Magical~
My husband is always amazed how manytimes I can walk out of Laduree for
"Just one more thing"....
so Thank You for giving me a reason to
stop in just one more time~
My winner!!Diane has left a new comment on your post "Au Revoir Wishing Contest": Janet~ What a whimsical and thoughtful idea~ This is so you!!!If I were to go I would be hopeful to find a french children's book with charming illustrations, something that I could possibly take apart and frame for my grandbabies. At Laduree, my mind would swirl at all the choices but I would probably want a small tin of their signature tea blend or a bag of the small pink marshmallows.
X&O''s.

You are such a kind soul to do this and, it is also lovely to read the things that people want you to find.
A wonderful and so very personal giveaway....you're a star Janet. XXXX
Dear Janet,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are back safely. It seems like you were gone for a long time which means that you must have found a lot of treasures. I'll look forward to your unveiling of that over time.
Please stop by Fashion is my muse for a visit. I have a very special giveaway in celebration of my second year blog anniversary.

ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you and your husband are home safe and sound! Congratulations to Diane on her new French treats! That French children's book is so sweet.

It seems you just left Janet, hope you had the most wonderful time and such adorable treasures you brought back for your friend. The book is exquisite isn't it? How was the ballet, I hope you are going to tell us about it. Much love and happy to see you back. XO
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back! Can't wait to see what magical images you have to share with us!
ReplyDeleteThe little book is delightful...how sweet for a nursery. I have been collecting special childrens books for the last few years for a little library for future grandchildren. I only have about a dozen or so, plus the ones from my childhood and my sons. Reading time with childres is so special, don't you agree?

I just had to tell you how exquisite your blog is! I feel like I escape to this beautiful and romantic wonderland every time I visit here!! You mentioned Ladurée's rose marshmallows above and I didn't know if you'd heard of a U.S. company called "Woodland Fairy Acres" (www.WoodlandFairyAcres.com)? They sell marshmallow mixes and scone mixes in floral flavors (including rose). Their products are absolutely wonderful and I thought you might get a kick out of them!
