    As of late, I've found myself daydreaming of France. The food, the culture, the language, the architecture... I could go on + on. Ben and I plan to visit Europe next summer and France is at the top of my list. Until then, I'd love to read a few playful books about French women. I've done a bit of research and have narrowed my list down to the following four books. Have you read any of them?

    French General has great stuff for you (us) DIY types. I was thinking you might be able to write guests names on the mother-of-pearl charms then thread them with string. You could use them as placecards (loop around the stem of each wine glass), or as escort cards (dangle them from the branches of some cherry blossom branches at the entrance to your dining room). OR use the wired pearly leaves to wrap bags of goodies for favors. There are so many great little dealy-bobs to be found, the possibilities are endless....
