Spoon me!

Okay, head's out of the gutters people! It's time to get some spooning on your fingers. I just je t'adore everything in this Etsy shop, goorsendjewelry. All of their items are handmade from beautiful spoons that received a second chance to shine. This time around they get to go out of the house sitting perfectly on your hand - making quite a statement!

Fork me too! Out of the gutter again people...
There is not only spoon jewelry but forks are also magically transformed into the most amazing bracelets. You must check it out for yourself.

Tune in, we will be posting many hidden Etsy treasures each week while you learn a little bit of French.

Spoon ~ la cuillère
Fork ~ la fourchette (slip of the tongue for those you with your minds in the gutter!)
Merci beaucoup!

Some of my Favorites from Paris Chic Boutique :)

Bonjour!

This week I'd like to feauture some of my favorites from Paris Chic Boutique.

This one is just a darling and our best seller. One of our first customers commissioned us to paint this saying. She says it to her daughter every night when she tucks her into bed. Such a sweet story behind it makes it even more precious!

These wall hangings are made of a white ceramic tile measuring 4" x 4". They are hand painted with the Eiffel Tower (of course!) and then kiln fired making all artwork permanent. You can choose your ribbon color to match your decor. Choose from a wide variety of colors.

*Little secret...there is a wire behind the bow, wrapped in matching ribbon. Hang from the wire this way the bow sits perfectly and doesn't pull. Like magic!

Trés chic and sweet!

Get yours today, go to www.parischicboutique.etsy.com

Merci for looking :)
