My 1,000 Follower Giveaway....

~*~This Giveaway Has Ended...merci~*~

I hardly know where to begin this post. It was almost two and half years 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...

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

"1,000  Petite Michelle Louise Follower 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 petite ex voto ornament....

 ...found it at Pottery Barn at the end of last season...

...painted it a creamy white and added some pearl beads to it. 

A pendant I made using an orignal  image from an old book page....

...framed in a silver plated bezel and sealed with resin.

Some lovely lace ribbon and appliques....

...gently tea-washed...

... and one of my handmade plexiglass pendants.

 A vintage linen napkin....

An old escutcheon that I painted a creamy white...

....and some inspirational words and beads.

A vintage French book....

...and some of my petite handmade French pockets.

A collection of tresors...

...a lovely millinery flower....

....and a petite porcelain matchbox. 

A trio of bottles filled with petits tresors from my studio...
