Dear Lidy,
I love all things French, and when I saw an ad for your online store in my Victoria magazine, I had to look. I finally found something I had been looking for, and just received today in mail. A beautiful box adorned with store name, lux ribbon and sachet of lavender to boot. All such nice touches … not to mention the antique brass presse papier-mâché lady’s hand (with key). So lovely on my desk.
Merci!
Kerrie

Yay for Ginger!!! I’m sure she will have no trouble finding an heirloom treasure from FGH’s outstanding collection.
I love the photo of you, Lidy. You have such beautiful eyes! I’m sure they reflect the lovely light within.
Those pastel ruffled tulips at the beginning of this post are a breath of Spring. :)

Thank you Nancy…I often don’t feel too “hip” when surrounded by all these gorgeous young things in my blogging community…so your compliment
made me smile.

Thank you Wrenda. The photo definitely improved after Christine did some photoshop magic.

I am sure that your home reflects your sense of ‘joie de vivre’, isn’t that the most important part,
that our homes reflect our taste and loves, and also that it is the place we make memories with
those we love?

Congrats to Ginger on your giveaway!

I appreciate and enjoy each of your posts, which give me fresh, new ideas. My home has definitely evolved through many years and transitions to arrive with what I consider my own style. I learned some time ago, as you have said, “that your home should reflect the way you live”. I hope my home reflects my sense of ‘joie de vivre’.

Such a pretty portrait of you! It will work perfectly as a back jacket for a (I’m hopeful!) future book on decorating one’s home with a French touch.

Regards, Wrenda
