French cows!

Hi all,
I'm just in a french state of mind today and wanted to post a few pics of my past Paris memories. I don't know about you but I never get tired at looking at french country sides or architecture or even the Eiffel tower. For me, there's such romance and artistry in all aspects of the french way of life, whether it's from their vibrant painted doors and window shutters or just the every day goings on of parisian life, it all is just so tres magnifique!
I don't know why but I fell in love with these white french cows (I bet you didn't know that there are french cows, lol) on one of our day trips to the french countryside one afternoon. If anyone to this day asks me what one of my fav memories of our trip was, I will without a doubt say it was the up and close encounter of these darling cows. They all had bells around their necks and when we walked up to the fence they all strolled over and gave us the sweetest stares!! The pic of me smelling the roses was in the garden of the amazing sculptor Rodin. And last but not least is the sunset of the Eiffel tower from the banks of the Seine river.
What more can I say?

Talk to you soon,

It's a giveaway!

Hi all,
I have been wanting to post a giveaway for a while now so here we go!! I was going to give a teacup package giveaway when I launched my Traveling Teacups business but that adventure is a bit on hold right now so I thought why not stick with the teacup theme anyway? So that's what I am going to do.
This giveaway is inspired from the press kits I have been making for the Petticoats and Parasols event in Georgia on April 22nd. Sadielouwho from Lollishops sent out a call to her lollis asking if anyone would like to make up press kits for giveaways to the Petticoats and Parasol attendees and of course I said a happy Yes! I put together 11 packets and one of them will go to one of my lovely readers :)
You will receive a teacup crepe paper tag, a pink movie ticket stub tag and one of my petite teapot magnets! And my special winner also will receive a vintage button that is attached to the front of the package on the lace trim.
All you have to do is leave me a comment and I will announce the winner this Friday March 12th.
Talk to you soon,

French Market

Hi all,
I just joined up on the website The French Cupboard! I have always wanted to be a part of this site but couldn't afford the full membership so I was sooo thrilled when I came across their new section just for us etsy sellers. It's a seasonal membership and I signed up for the spring time slot, which runs from March 1st til May. Here's the etsy shop page called "French barn". If you see an item you like just click on it and it will take you to the etsy shop that sells it. There are many lovely shops on the French Cupboard site and if you are a lover of all things french, vintage and shabby chic then make sure you stroll on by onto the cobblestone pages of this wonderful french village and peruse to your hearts content, you'll be so happy you did.
Here are a few of my favs : The Petite Maison, Noelle Garrett Designs, My Painted Porch, and Counting Your Blessings. Happy shopping :)

talk to you soon,
