A few items from my Grand Ma's French Attic!

It was a day of wonderful surprises.

First, my USPS Mail Carrier called me {yes, you heard it right} 
while he was standing in front of my Lucky Junk Shop 
and said that I had received a package from France 
& that it would not fit in my mailbox.

You had me at "Hi, this is your Mail Carrier" 
and then you double barreled me with...
"you have a package from France".

I couldn't get to the shop fast enough.

A little back story...before we get to the French Package {sorry}.

It was our Chanceux {Lucky} Day in September 2012 
when we met Delphine & Oliver and stayed at their B & B
 {words cannot even describe the incredible charm}
in the French Countryside of the Burgundy Region.

Let's start with a...
stone floor, 
a dog to greet you, 
champagne from their favorite local vineyard,
vintage galore throughout our room,
and they still drive their vintage Citroen that they drove on their honeymoon!

Charming French B & B where we stayed!

The note that was carefully tucked inside of my French Package
In past correspondence Delphine had told me 
that she might send me some French Vintage Items...a girl can only hope!

Well, keep hope alive...cause dreams do come true!

The anticipation of it's contents was too much to bear!

I carefully {OK, I ripped through the postal paper} to find wrapped items, too many to count.


The first item {and my favorite} is this shabby chic green tin adorned with birds.

As I opened up each of the packages I was so amazed at how many of the items looked like they could have come from an American Grandmother's Attic...how wonderful is that!





What...some of Grand 'Ma's beautiful vintage clothing...I thought I was going to faint.



I've blogged about the value of relationships before...
but it truly makes the world go round...even oceans away!

I'm now dreaming of the special package that I will send Delphine.

Merci Beaucoup!
