My HUGE PARIS GIVEAWAY! Vintage French Papers and Beads Goodie Packs
I visit Paris every April and have had the opportunity to shop in the two biggest out door markets. To celebrate the launch of my book and this new blog I am starting my giveaway program.
I have ten sets similar to the picture you see posted here. Every set is different.
Each package has two French magazines dedicated to "woman's arts and crafts." They are full of patterns and ads.
I am also including two vintage velvet leaves, a small container of rhinestones and a sampling of beads from the oldest bead seller at the huge outdoor market known as the Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. You can read about these finds in my book: “Art Girl’s Guide to Paris.”
Who Can Win?
Anyone in Canada or the USA. Sorry, it would be too expensive for me to ship overseas.
How Can You win?
Just leave a comment here! I’ll be drawing names in a week!
Easy To Win!
This blog is so new, hardly anyone knows about it, so your chances of winning are excellent! Tell your friends!
I love your blog! I've always wanted to go to Paris - I'm getting my 'fix' through your blog until I can get there. Thanks for the opportunity to win authentic Parisian goodies!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog, and haven't been to Paris in years and years. I need my fix :-) (Thanks for organizing this giveaway, it's a good one!)
ReplyDeleteOoh la la, this is magnifique!

Just looked through a little of your blog so far. It is wonderful. I have only gone once (for a day) and didn't get the chance to look for goodies. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely blog away about this!
ReplyDeleteI love your blogs and when you were in Paris this year I pretended I was with you as I read your adventures - it was a great trip. Thanks for sharing so much with us!
ReplyDeleteCarmi,
ReplyDeleteI love this new blog!! I also have a love affair with Paris! My first visit was many years ago when I lived in Switzerland for a summer and spent the last week in Paris. There were 10 girls in the group plus a leader from The Experiment in International Living. My French was much better than it is today! We saw Yves Montand sing in the street one evening! A few years later I returned with my husband for another week. Our family lived in Germany for 3 years back in the 1990s, and we traveled to France many times for the weekend and for weekly vacations. I'd love to win one of your giveaways to rekindle that old romance!
A bientot!
