I have been blessed to have recieved a most amazing gift from Christel Jensen. Christel emailed saying she would send me a box of her wonderful macarons, well....double the pleasure.... two boxes arrived and words cannot properly describe how much I love them. The detail is amazing, not just the macarons but the beautiful little boxes also.Thank you so much Christel, your work never ceases to amaze me!
I hold a special 'bond' with Christel, as it was she who encouraged me to start a blog....I truely never thought any-one would be interested in seeing my 'petite maison'....she convinced me otherwise....thank you. x
Now if one gift wasn't enough, I recieved these wonderful books from Norma Bennet. Norma is a recent 'follower' and is also from Australia, she doesn't have a blog but I see that she is following several of you as well.If you have noticed....as Norma did....these are some of my all-time favorite books! All the books have their own covers as well as their own 'dust covers' and front pages, plus Norman has signed and dated each one.
"My French Life" by the wonderful Vicki Archer has an open page which shows Vicki's house in Provence and a post card as a book mark.
A wonderful gift Norma, thank you so very much. Linda x

Christel's macaroons are so wonderful! Something to eat as well as something to read :) I'm so happy to have been able to do a little 'something' for you.
I just started my own blog a few days ago, but I'm still working out how to do it all! And I think maybe I need a different (customized) template, but it's a start at least. It's @ www.makeminemini.blogspot.com - call by if you are up to it but not much there yet cos I've had a frustrating time trying to photograph stuff - with nothing postable to show for it! I need you out of that bed and up here to teach me how to take mini photos! :)
Take care x
You are one lucky girl. I loved Vicki Archer's first book "My French Life" and am anxiously awaiting for the publication of "French Essence" in North America.
Lucky you,Christel`s macaroons are so wonderful.

Oh, Linda! Good grief! I'm just now catching up with you and can't believe you broke your back! My heart goes out to you . . . I had back surgery about 10 years ago, what an ordeal! I'm fine now, but just thinking about what you went through is causing me to have sympathy pain! LOL! I do hope you're on the mend and will be back to yourself very soon!
You have received some pretty wonderful gifts . . . those macaroons are to die for! And I'm loving your little dressing room . . . it's looking very pretty!
I wanted to thank you too, for visiting my blog and leaving birthday wishes! You're so sweet! And don't think I've forgotten it's your birthday this month too . . . I may have missed it but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Next year we really have to do it up . . . you KNOW what I mean! LOL!
Sending you lots of love and hugs . . . take care,
Teresa
