french inspired

I love France... it is definitely up there in my top 10 places to live. I was lucky enough to spend a year there when I was 21, in a beautiful old chateau in Cognac. It was such a magical time, and I often think about my daily trips to the boulangerie for fresh pain au chocolat and baguettes, and the local markets to buy produce...

So, I was thinking that it is about time I did a wee giveaway... with a little French twist! The winner will receive this little pack, which includes: a 'paris' coin purse, 10m of airmail divine twine, 1m spool of airmail washi tape, and 10 sweet airmail love stickers.

This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere... all you have to do is 'like' my facebook page (if you don't already) and leave me a comment with your favourite book, children's book or film (I always love new ideas!). I will draw the winner next Friday, 11th November, 2011.

ps: make sure you tell your friends too, as when I reach 400 likes on facebook I will do another giveaway over there!

  1. I recently saw a NZ film called 'Love Birds'. It was a good fun movie starring Rhys Darby. I'd really recommend it if you're looking for some light entertainment.

  4. My favourite film is Howl's Moving Castle directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It's magical! If you like animation, or even if it's not really you thing, you should add this film to you list.

  6. Awesome giveaway :-) I like your page on Facebook. My favourite films are the Harry Potter series and the books rate quite highly in my favourite books list too :-) I can read/watch them over and over and so look forward to when my baby boy is old enough to enjoy them too!

  8. Wow, absolutely love the giveaway! One of my all-time favourite children's books is 'The Quiltmaker's Gift' by Jeff Brumbeau. It's BEAUTIFULLY illustrated and a lovely story about giving is better than getting. Here's a link... http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Quiltmakers-Gift-Jeff-Brumbeau/9780439309103

  10. Lovely Giveaway. The favorite children's book in our house for the past three years or so has been 'The Snail and the Whale' written by Julia Donaldson of Gruffalo fame. The story is lovely and is very lyrical and the illustrations are gorgeous too.

  12. A new favourite picture book is The Cat’s Pyjamas by Catherine Foreman. Funny story with a twist, lovely illustrations and a NZ author too! I'm a teacher and have bought a copy to read to my Year 3 class.
