merci and bienvenue


Merci ~ Thank You


When anyone finds a favorite chair and sits down to read my blog, I am grateful. When I noticed the other day that I have posted well over 200 posts I thought it high time to say........thank you. Thank you for the readers who do go back and read older posts, to readers who comment on each and every post (or pretty darn close), those readers who say hello from time to time, those who do read but chose to keep their comments to themselves, to subscribers who read me by email and find the time to email me their thoughts. Thank you.


Bienvenue ~ Welcome

A warm welcome to the new followers. I am always so happy to see you. I never imagined that a blog about gift wrapping with a bit of design, fashion, and occasional travel would capture your attention and time. I certainly never imagined that I would have readers and followers from 122 countries and meet the most incredible people.........I am most grateful. Thank you for joining me.

  27. Hello! I just started reading your blog and I am in love! The photos, the music, and of course the writing is all so soothing and thought provoking. I happen to love Ryuichi Sakamoto and was surprised to find another who appreciates his music.
