Romantique GIVEAWAY

It's time for another romantic give away, and I drew inspiration from my fête à la Ladurée as I selected the goodies that one lucky winner will win!

For almost two years now, I have been selling some romantic fine art photographs in The Paris Apartment online boutique, and I am currently in the process of creating a new line of delicious photographs.
In this giveaway, one winner will receive the above three romantic 8X8 inch photographs.
{Great for decorating your home, studio, or little girl's room}

Parisienne Correspondance cards made by me, inspired by the Ladurée pistachio color palette

The winner will also receive one set of the above 5X5 cards/envelopes in a beautiful color palette of pistachio and blush.

Of course, I had to include a copy of the Romantic Homes magazine, where la fête is featured.

The winner will also get to choose between these two French-inspired menus that I created (I will send as a digital file). The menu may be customized by adding text within the frame or by handwriting the menu items.
French-inspired menu/invitation designs by à la parisienne

And I have to share with the lucky winner our (Felicia, Holly, and me) favorite loose tea~Jasmine Pearl, which was served at our fete à la Ladurée. This white tea is super special and quite expensive ($143.00/lb to be exact). The lucky winner will receive a few scoops of this exquisite tea.

And as I suggested in my article, one must have French musique playing in the background while sipping tea and eating macarons, so I am also including a Carla Bruni CD. (Winner may select the album.)


In sum, here are the romantique prizes:
* Three 8X8 fine art photographs by à la parisienne {Romantique rose set}
* One set of three à la parisienne cards in pistachio and blush
* One digital file of a French-inspired menu
* Two scoops of loose Jasmine Pearl tea
* The March 2012 issue of Romantic Homes
* Carla Bruni album


Each participant may enter her name into the drawing up to four times
{Leave a comment for each entry:}

* Simply leave a comment
*Become a follower or tell me that you are already are a follower.
* Mention this giveaway on your Facebook with a link back.
* Pin any image in this post to your Pinterest with a brief description of this give away.
This give away is open to all readers (including international readers).

This give away will close on Sunday, February 26th at midnight, and the winner will be announced on Monday, Feb. 27th.

Bonne chance!!!
This giveaway is now closed!

I so love you're article on the Laduree -inspired-fete and have been dreaming of having my own Laduree inspired theme party. It is so awesome and I must say that i have once again caught the French fever - perfect prep for our planned spring vacation in the city of lights :-) I am so thrilled about your Romatique giveaway but just reading through your blog and drawing inspirations from your posts already makes me feel like a winner. Congratulations and I will definitely get hold of a copy of the magazine Romantic Homes where la fete was featured! Thank you for bringing beautiful things to our days. Cheers!

Hi Mandy- as you know I am already a follower of your beautiful blog. I have been sitting here this morning crying my eyes out- I have had a very intense couple of weeks. My youngest started school two weeks ago and my oldest got into university and I just last night had to move her away from home to live in student accomodation- which we found out will cost us all our savings and we will have to forfeit out trip to France at the end of the year. I have been waiting and longing to go to France for most of my life- and just as it came into reach... I love to be able to help my daughter but.. well you know. This little pack of French goodies would be a nice conselation prize.. looks like I still have to dream. xxCorrina

Corrina said...

I am a tea freak- I have a huge array of antique tea cup/saucer sets and love to sit with my little girl Ruby after school with a pot of tea and discuss the day. Would love to share some of that special tea with her- wow xxCorrina.

Corrina said...

What a superb array of divine things- would be like Christmas to me. I would put on the CD while I sip the tea and plan my menu. xxCorrina.

Corrina said...

I have been thinking of planning an adult/posh dinner with friends soon- those menu templates would make a stunning addition. xxCorrina.
