Pillow Giveaway from French Charmed
Bonjour! I want to thank each of you for all the kind comments and warm support I’ve received over my recent post. Remember the three giveaways I mentioned earlier? Well here’s the first of the bunch:
I want to introduce you to the nicest gal named Chelle from French Charmed, who also happens to be one of our sponsors. Chelle has been kind enough to offer to one of my lucky readers one of her very popular pillows, the Belle Jardiniere “Bee” Pillow.
Pillow as described on Chelle’s website: “Large pillow covered in soft distressed muslin. Image of a French feed sack with a very large French Bee! A tres chic piece for your Paris Apartment or French Country Home”. Measures 21” x 21”

For those unfamiliar with Chelle from French Charmed, you may want to acquaint yourself with her fun to read blog and gorgeous website. Chelle began in the antique business in 1991, and though she’s found many stunning pieces from all over the world, she says “I can't help but be extra charmed by anything encompassing the ambiance of France”. Chelle ponders “Is it the elegance of the language, the romance of the cobblestone streets, or the bold and seductive style of the people who live there? I can't put my finger on exactly what draws me in, but the country certainly has a je ne sais quoi about it that can't be ignored”. Since experiencing the magic firsthand via her first trip there 15 years ago, Chelle’s thrown herself into creating a place where people just as entranced as herself can buy, see and be inspired by the beautiful things that make France so magnifique. Chelle’s business has evolved over the years (it actually started as a lingerie boutique!) But one thing stays true: “I am forever passionate about my work. Whether busy in my studio creating cards and tags, or chasing down new Artisans and their lovely products, I am constantly working on my French inspired dream” says Chelle.
To enter to win this beautiful pillow, simply do the following:
1. Leave a comment here on my blog.
2. Leave a comment on Chelle’s blog. She loves to receive nice comments!
3. For extra credit: Aside from Paris, where would be your favorite place to spend Spring Time?
This giveaway ends on Thursday, April 14th. Winner to be announced on my blog.
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteWarmest hugs, Brenda
I've just been to visit Chelle's blog, and realized I am already one of her followers!! Goodness Gracious, lol :) I have so many blogs that I follow that it's sometimes hard to remember them all, LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to spend spring on a beach. Just about any beach. As long as it's warm and there's sand and not a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pillow! Thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely pillow!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place I have yet to visit in the Spring would be Charleston, South Carolina.
ReplyDeleteI stopped at Chelle's blog~I'll be back again.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. I look forward to reading about some of your adventures.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Thank you so much for the opportunity!! I visited Chelle's blog...became a follower...and left a comment!! I adore anything French.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pillow. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this pillow, would so go great somewhere in my house!
ReplyDeleteLove this pillow!!! Maybe it will be mine!
ReplyDeleteFor Spring, going to gardens and exploring. We might head to the Dallas aboretum this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love thinking about spring. Really I'd go anywhere. Doesn't have to be warm just somewhere different :) but if I had to choose I'd go to Florida.
ReplyDeleteYes, aside from Paris...In the spring I would love to visit Probably someplace warm like Hawaii or Florida. {{We are seriously sunshine deficient her in the northwest}}
ReplyDeleteI would dearly love to spend my Spring at home working in the yard...
ReplyDeleteI visited and left a comment on Chelle's blog. What a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit the beach for Spring, anywhere there is a beach!
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow - what a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteA relaxing beach getaway sounds great
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I love this pillow!
ReplyDeleteOh, this would be perfect for my daughter's first flat. She is moving in 2 weeks. She has lived abroad for 5 years, but this is her first flat with her own things. She loves old linens. If we don't win, I'm going to have to purchase it for her.
ReplyDeletePlease save my bank card for other essentials.
I visited her in Switzerland several times in spring (as well as other times of year). I love France, but I prefer Normandy.
Oooh la la! Love the pillow!
ReplyDeleteI commented on her blog, such gorgeous things!
ReplyDeleteI love the French look also. I am drooling over the pillow..someday I hope to visit the beautiful countryside. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIf not Paris, which would be my #1 choice, then maybe, Barcelona?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillow! Just checked out Chelle's French Charmed blog...nice. Would love to have this in the new girlie room I'm creating for myself. With a husband, 3 boys and 1 male puppy, I need it. :-)
ReplyDeleteHere is a place I love, but in Paris:http://pwsnwjournal.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-own-tour-eiffel.html
ReplyDeleteLovely pillow. I would like to spend spring in my backyard hammock!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this pillow- super cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely give away, yes please!
ReplyDeleteSweet pillow! Love the bee on it. I'd love to spend spring someplace very warm and sunny ~ even just for 1 or 2 weeks of it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I have to say you have the best give aways (which I am hoping this one will be my lucky number to win). I absolutely love the Belle Jardiniere “Bee” Pillow.
ReplyDeleteSecond, the minute I hit "Post Comment"; I am on my way over to Chelle's website & blog...I am sure I will be a follwer.
And Thirdly, I like Chelle LOVE and ADORE anything French, so since I can't use France as my FAV place in the springtime, I would have to say Julian. It is a cute small town 60 min east of San Diego which the drive taking in the open fields always give me that spring time feeling breathing in the air...and picking up a Mom's famous Apple pie doesn't hurt either. It's a very Shabby Chic French Country kind of town.
