Trouvais Wins Chic Provence Giveaway!

{ you might want to turn your volume down for this or you'll wake the neighborhood!}

{ Newsreel voiceover }  In breaking news yesterday as the drawing took place for the incredible $250 Rough Linen's from Tricia Rose in honor of our Chic Provence Design Tour 2013, one of the latest entries from the eleventh hour won the drawing.

Fate took a hand and awarded the prize to one who is already known far and wide for her love of fabrics, be they gorgeous antique satin embroidered silks from 18th C. France or "rough linens" from old country French vintage grain sacks. If you loved old French things and fabrics, you have undoubtedly drooled over her gorgeous blog many, many times.

Yes, Trish Allen of Trouvais was the winning entry! 

Many thanks to all of you who participated in our Giveaway; please join me in congratulating Trish!

Join us! You need this, cherie!

A Chic Provence Giveaway! Hidden in Paris

The brilliant Corine at Hidden in France has published her first book, Hidden in Paris,and I loved reading it! I already miss the characters... Annie, Lola, Althea, Lucas... and find myself wondering what they are up to now!

Corine is French living in Los Angeles, and her book is written with lots of little insights into the French way of thinking. I find her use of the English language completely charming and spot on for a native French speaker (and I know because I'm married to one!). I can already see the film, {Renee Zellwieger (Annie), Uma Thurman (Lola), Hilary Swank (Althea)}, and a narrator speaking English with that French accent and way of expressing things, and I can't wait to see it!

If you have been to Paris you will recognize the places and the paces of life described here, and it will make you want to head over there and take up residence off Avenue Hoch near Parc Monceau, and shop the daily produce markets on Rue Poncelet. Sigh!

You can win an autographed copy of Hidden in France here, enter below now!

Parc Monceau in Paris a la fin du siecle

How to enter? Trés simple!

1. follow Chic Provence here

2. like my FB page

3. follow my Twitter

4. leave a lovely message for me here

Two lucky winners will have the book sent directly to them by Corine herself!

By the way, go over to Hidden in France today and enter for a Paris weekend giveaway!!

Bon Chance!
