French General Giveaway!

 When I first saw the French General display in Michaels a few months ago, my little brain exploded! Honestly, it's wildly exciting to spot good design in there sometimes; in a sea of Jesus Loves Me scrapbook pages and Vanilla Cupcake Maple Pumpkin Fandango candles, a great product shines like a beacon. (I love Michaels and go there at least weekly, but dang. )

 It's a cute collection of French vintagey-reproductions of millinery goods, brass charms, and purty ribbons! However, I've had my thrifty pants on lately and haven't been buying myself a lot of prizes, so I left empty-handed.


But, I forgot that I am a very lucky lady; as a world-famous blogger and great American tastemaker, sometimes I get surprises in the mail! I recently got a monstrous box filled with French General products and I could not be happier about it. Scrapbook papers, stickers, charms, ribbons, the whole shebang!

I have to admit that when I first received this box of goodies, I had no idea that French General is a real place! It's a heavenly little pink stucco shop in LA, run and curated by a person with the coolest name in California, Kaari Meng. (I really enjoy extra vowels.) I will definitely be making a visit.

 However, I do have the next best thing; a giant box filled with French General treats that I'm desperate to share with you! So, I'm doing a lil' giveaway! There's so much stuff that I'll randomly pick TWO winners by Tuesday, 9/16.


 All you have to do is leave a comment here or tweet to moi, @pollymarie, describing what you would do if you were magically whisked away to France for a day. GOOD LUCK!

*Full disclosure: I got this package for free. I'm excited to share it!
