Pay It Forward and My 200th Post Giveaway

"Pay it Forward" is a fun game, and when there is fun, of course I am in!If you would like to participate in Pay It Forward, just leave a comment on this post.
The first three people to leave a comment will be my next Pay It Forward recipients. You must have a blog so I can read your postings and learn a little about you. That way, I will know what to gather just for you! THEN, when you receive your package from me, you post pictures of what you received, just as I have done, then add the Pay It Forward button (which is at the TOP of this post) to your post, and wait for three comments on your blog...and the game continues on.
If there are any questions you can ask me anytime! It really is a whole lot of fun! Let's see how far this PAY IT FORWARD can continue."

I lucked out being one of the 3 first commenters in Maggie's Pay it Forward post at http://normandylife.blogspot.com/ and look at the precious gifts I received all the way from France!
Isn't this the prettiest card? It reminds me of the beautiful houses on St. Charles in New Orleans. I love the wrought iron fence. I am going to frame it when I find the perfect frame.
And I just love reading this personal note from sweet Maggie.
Aaah! I have just the perfect place for this. I am going to hang it on the door leading to the bathroom that leads out into the pool. Isn't it so pretty, so shabby and chic! and it is hand crafted by Steve Boyce.

Scrumptious and delicious caramel candies, my favorite flavor! I also got this really cute teddy bear with the prettiest soft print garden design who can keep me company in my office while blogging.

Isn't she just a cutie with the prettiest pink bow?

And look at these vintage looking French postcards! What fun to have them in my possession even if I still have to figure out what they say. Is this supposed to be a Mr. France beauty contest, Maggie? lol!

I don't know how Maggie knew that I love bridges.

And now, I finally took a picture of my 200th post giveaway. Do not confuse it with my "Pay it Forward" gifts. For that, I would personalize them by studying the winners' blogs first, to see what your styles are. The first 3 people who will comment here will receive the "Pay It Forward' gifts. Please let me know (if you are one of the 3), IF you do not want to participate and in that case, I will send the gifts to the 4th person or the 5th, depending on how many do not want to join in on the fun.

Again, the items below are my 200th post giveaway. I will announce the winners next Friday. The winner will get the following:

a set of 4 canapes plates

a little white heart ceramic picture frame

a set of 3 votive candle holders

bird salt and pepper shaker

turquoise necklace I bought when I visited New Mexico

a Christmas night light

Whittard of Chelsea tea

Whittard of Chelsea egg cup set

a little purse

a glass fish from the Carribean

Ooops, I forgot to include them in the pictures but I am also sending a set of small Matrushka dolls and a pen from Russia.

If you want to win the goodies below, please leave a comment on my 200th post, which is one post below. Thanks.

Good luck to the winner!

And thank you so much, Maggie, for the very special gifts that you sent me. I will treasure them.
