Yesterday we received a bundle of mail and a box. Included was another post card from Martina. It seem that she couldn't decide and sent both cards. This one has a good aerial view of Seattle.....
and the message
includes direction on how to spend quality time.
Thanks Martina!!
There was also a box in yesterday's delivery.
Surprisingly it wasn't from Publisher's Clearing House and it wasn't addressed to the Other Mother, it was for me!
What's that? Prioritaire? I'm pretty sure that's not English.
It's French!!! That can only mean one thing. it's something that Corey Amaro offered in a gift drawing on her blog, Tongue in Cheek. Is Corey on your blogroll? She should be.
I feel like a kid at Christmas. How exciting is it to get a package from France? When you're sitting in the middle of a million acres of corn it's pretty darn exciting.
The item is carefully wrapped and finished off with French ribbon.
The item is something that Corey found at a brocante, which is a French antique market.
I don't know what the neighbors are going to say but certainly I'm the first one with a French antique.
Corey has taken great care in packaging the item.
It's had a long and safe trip from a French village to a small rural town in Illinois.
It's a beautiful hand-painted French teacup.
It's something I will treasure always. Thanks so much Corey.
I still can't believe the French Husband drew my name. I should probably contact Publisher's Clearing House.

How cute! I love surprises like that. You lucky gal! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the prize patrol.
How lovely! It's very exciting to receive packages and postcards.
I must remedy the fact that Corey is not on my blogroll as soon as I get the opportunity.

How lucky you are and thank you, I love the French music. Reminds me of nights in Paris. Enjoy your cup, and do drink your tea from it once in a while. Each day is special.

That is a beautiful teacup! As an avid tea drinker, I would love to have a piece like that on my display shelf.
Beautiful! and lucky you! blessings, marlene
It is beautiful! How fun to get a package like that.
I'm a Francophile too! Thanks for introducing me to Corey's lovely new site, and while I am thinking of it, I should mention Anne Barone's Chic and Slim site, for anyone who craves the French lifestyle (www.Annebarone.com)
And I loved the music today ... ooo la la!
It's karma because you've been so nice to your blog readers!
I wouldn't get my hopes up with Publisher's Clearinghouse, though!
