A Lucky Winner
I never win anything. Really, I don't. I am not usually one of those lucky people. But maybe just maybe, this blog has brought about a change in my luck. First, I won Bleeding Espresso's Bella Bags contest. Then I recently ran the *My French Life* contest. Now, imagine my surprise when I was crowned the winner of the French Garden House contest! Perhaps it is the universe telling me good things happen when you Pay It Forward.
My petit paquet arrived in the mail yesterday, would you like to know what was inside? Come on, take a peak with me...
Some lovely flowers, velvet ribbon and adornments....
A vintage rose postcard, which looks just lovely in my kitchen with my German rose china...
Four very large sachets perfumed with the most delicious cinnamon scent, perfect for the Hoildays. Don't you just love the colors and the angel on the front?
But the pièce de résistance, was this lovely vintage charm. The front is the most darling little angel girl and the back wishes me a Merry Christmas, en Francais, mais oui!
Merci Beaucoup Lidy, for picking me as the winner, and for your wonderful taste in prizes!
This weekend we are headed to Atlantic City, so cross your fingers folks...hopefully my lucky streak continues. And I'll give you three guesses where I will be headed with my winnings...and the first two don't count!

Dear Robin,
Congratulations. Nice treasures! It seems the same thing has happened to me. I received a surprise from Natasha Burns yesterday. It blows my mind, since I can't remember ever winning anything before!
Hope you are well. Did you get my email yesterday?
If so did you get the images? I've been having some problems as of late.
