~*~My First Giveaway~*~

~*~This giveaway has ended...merci~*~

I hardly know where to begin this post. It was almost a year ago that i joined this wonderful world of blogging. I remember being very hesitant, even a bit scared..."what would i have to say or share that anyone would want to read about?" Another ETSY shop owner encouraged me to give it a try and walked me through all of the steps and so my journey here began. And oh what a journey it has been! Unless you are "part of it all" it's hard to understand the sense of camaraderie, kinship and love that is shared in this amazing family. I have been blessed in so many ways with friendships that have given me.....

encouragement...

inspiration...

acceptance...

laughter...

courage...

patience...

and most of all...love. 

YOU my beloved blogging friends have come to mean so very much to me....so very much... and i want to say "Merci".

"Mon coeur est heureux"

("My heart is happy")

And so...in celebration of all of you...I  am hosting my

First Petite Michelle Louise Giveaway

I've put together some tresors that are near and dear to my heart and that I hope will speak to your heart as well....

so here we go...

...a set of my hand stamped coverless book bundles...

...some of my sweet speckled eggs, cadeaux de la mer and vintage french flashcard tags...

 ...a petite box of fleur de lys paper punches, one of my gauze roses and a vintage "oiseau" image i transfered to muslin...

And here are the rules...

Wait...

What's that you're thinking? 

"That's it? She teases us with all those tresors she finds on her junkin' heists and she's not even going to share some of the loot with us?"

Ahhhhh.....how selfish of me!

Let me go through what i've been hoarding collecting and see what i can find....

 ...how about some vintage tatting thread, crocheted rosettes, a spool with yards of vintage lace trim, a vintage dinner napkin and a vintage millinery flower....

...a vintage dish, a skeleton key and a few other "tresors"....

...a petite bottle filled with mercury glass beads....

 ...some old photographs...

 ....and maybe a few vintage French ephemera....
an old postcard and a pristine French soap label along with some French inspired magnets i made.....

 ...guess you might be needing something to put them on...

...how about this vintage tray...

 ...oui??
