French Themed Giveaway!

Bon Jour, Mon Amis!
I am so very excited to not only have a 1 year blog-aversary (ok, it was awhile ago, I missed it, what with our cross country move!), but I also have reached the 300 follower mark!  I know that many of you have many more hundreds, if not thousands of followers!  But, while I have never really been about the numbers, I am thrilled none the less!

So, to celebrate, I am having a little French themed giveaway, just for you, my current followers.  Here is what one lucky winner will receive:

 A really cute little tin pail, which I have added the most beautiful French label to.  I've added lots of sparkle and shine to this adorable pail with glitter. Not just on the label, but the silk blossom as well, because my motto is "You can never have too much glitter!",

 I have also made a wonderfully smelling lavender sachet, with my favorite blue and white toile barkcloth fabric.  I've embellished the sachet with vintage crocheted trim, and a vintage Mother of pearl button.  Tres magnifique!

 Because I know that all of you ladies are oh, so creative, I have also put together one of my "Creative Inspirations" kits, just for you, and is full of crafting potential!  I'm sharing with you some of my vintage sheet music collection, some of which I've printed off amazing graphics on (love the Madonna and Child print!), and some of my favorite crinkly seam binding.  Also vintage dictionary and French book pages, and some blank tags that I have aged, as well as some lovely dainty vintage lace!

 A cute little birdie tag, with a bit of rhinestone bling!

I am also including a whole slew of pretty embellishments that I created for the winner, made from vintage French book pages that I have stamped with some of my favorite bird themed images. And, a couple of unique bird stickers, too!  So, that should keep you busy for awhile!

 The winner will also receive a set of 8 of my vintage wooden clothespins, that I have decoupaged with pages from a vintage French book, and glittered (of course!).  Oooh, la, la!
(sorry, the postcards are not included!  I just can't part with them!!)

 Entering is super easy!  All you need to do is leave me one comment on this post, if you are a current follower as of today!  That's it!  I will draw the winning name next Friday, May 27th.  If I can't figure out the random generator thingy, then I will do it the old fashioned way and draw the name out of a bowl!!!  Good luck, and thanks again!!!

I also wanted to share with you some surprises that I received yesterday from my sweet friend Cindy, from Cindy Adkins Whimsical Musings.  Cindy is not only super talented, but is one of the most generous, kind hearted kindred spirits that I have ever met!  My birthday is next week, and Cindy sent me the best gifts!!!

 Cindy knows how much I love all things French, especially Paris!  Just look at the gorgeous journal that she made me!  Be still my heart! 

 She also made me the most beautiful card, embellished with fleur de lis (which I also adore!). And, if that were not enough, she also sent me a Coach luggage tag!  I've never owned Coach anything, so I was very excited about that!  I can hardly wait to take a trip (Paris, maybe?!) so that I can use it!  Thank you so much, Cindy! I was feeling a bit low and homesick yesterday, so this truly gave me a huge, much needed lift!

If you have never visited Cindy's blog, be sure to check it out!  She also has an amazing Etsy shop, which you can see here!
