~ Sweet French Towels ~

Good morning, lovelies!

I received a package the other day.

It was from a new friend of mine.

Her beautiful blog is called Faded Plains and she owns a wonderful shop on Etsy.
I find it easy to spend a lot of time there.  (*wink)

Her name is Andrea,

She is kind and thoughtful and she does beautiful work.

Inside the wrapping were some oh so sweet surprises.

A beautiful thank you note.

A sweet smelling sachet.

An imprinted pencil.

A page rolled and tied from a paperback book titled "The Hawk and the Dove",

(which I had actually read while in high school).

This is what she made for me.

Two beautiful white muslin kitchen towels stamped with pretty French words.

I was sure that certain avenue is someplace romantic and special.

In fact, I did a wee bit of research on it.

It's a prestigious, world famous avenue in Paris, France where you will find cinemas, cafes, luxury specialty shops, and is lined with clipped horse chestnut trees.

It is known in France as "La plus belle avenue dumond" which means "the most beautiful avenue in the world". 

It stretches all the way to the Arc de Triomphe, a historic landmark.

Oh, yes.

I can imagine my pretty French towels being sold in one of these little specialty shop along this incredible avenue.

Can't you?

Thank you, Andrea, for giving me a little bit of Paris in my French-wanna-be kitchen - and for sending it wrapped with warm friendship!

{ Hugs! }
