Little Things Make My Heart Sing

I treated myself to a little present a week ago. It was calling out to me on a blog that I now follow, and I just couldn't resist. As I opened it, I was fascinated by all the little details and care that went into showcasing a product so lovingly made.

Holding my purchase was a shimmery pink envelope tied up with sheer aqua French ribbon offset with a glittery signature tag.

The next layer inside was carefully wrapped in tissue paper and secured with such a sweet ribbon imprinted with little crowns.

My purchase was just as I imagined it. Four handmade Marie Antoinette note cards in the colors I'm a little obsessed with now: soft teal and red, with a little yellow mixed in.

Who will receive one of these note cards remains unknown just yet, but I have in mind to frame one or more of them. Maybe for my Marie Antoinette inspired bedroom?  We'll see where they end up.  Look how pretty the matching envelopes are.

And if that wasn't enough, Daisy of La Petite Plume included this note card as a bonus along with a new calendar. I just know we would be great friends--she shares my passion of all things French. Check out her blog and her online stationery shop. You just might find something you can't live without too.
