GRAND OPENING

Bonjour Everyone,

Today is the official grand opening of my Etsy shop, La peitite boutique de perles (The Little Shop Of Pearls). I have been working hard to make items that reflect my love of all things French, Belgium, and Swedish. My shop is a simple little shop with handmade items that are European inspired. If you have read my blog, or liked my Facebook page, you are aware that I have been very busy making new items to add...Stenciled Linen French Script Pillows, and linen guest towels.  Keep in mind that all the notecards and gift tags that are in my shop can be printed into either form...Notecards or gift tags, just let me know which you prefer.

To kick off my opening, I am having a giveaway and my dear friend Fifi Flowers of Fifi Flowers (Here) and Reading Is Fashionable (Here) blogs has offered to add some "goodies" to the giveaway as well. I will be giving away a Natural Canvas Tote Bag that I have stenciled with a French Script and Fifi has very generously offered one of her gorgeous bookmarks with a book "French Lessons" by Peter Mayle so make sure you stop by Reading is Fashionable (Here) to see the"goodies"
she is contributing.
This bag has sturdy reinforced handles and a gusseted bottom.  Great for carrying books, or shopping.
All comments are to be left under this post or on my Facebook Page to be considered for the drawing.  I will be selecting the winner September 19.  I hope all of you will take a peek, if you haven't already, by clicking onto my name kfranklin12 beneath the word Etsy on my widget in the right upper corner at what is available and I will continue to keep you updated as I list new items.

If you are new to my blog or Facebook Page, I hope you will like me on Facebook and follow me on my blog.  I have posted some pictures under my la reportiste header on a separate page under the name of La petite boutique de perles.  I will also be listing items that I cannot list on Etsy so be sure to check there too for updates.

Thanks to all of you who take the time to stop by for visits and leave comments as they are always welcomed and appreciated.

Et Salut,

Kris

  2. What a great giveaway! Although I consider myself American, my French heritage beats strong here in South Louisiana. I'm Acadian on my mother's side and French Huguenot on my father's - although I've never been to France myself. This would be lovely.

  18. Kris, congratulations on your Etsy store. I love the bag you are giving away. You have inspired me to play with some bags that I have which are very similar. I give them to my students when they take my design class. You should do an e-book about how to stencil.

    The pillows are wonderful. I can so see the bed they will adorn.
