A few weeks ago Corey Amaro from Tongue in Cheek
featured an artist that she admires named Alwen Rambo
who authors the blog La Belle Brocante.
Alwen is a consummate, passionate collector
of many of the same things that I am drawn to.
But, she...is a true artist...
...as well as a wordsmith with a wonderful sense of humor.

My interest piqued, I popped over to visit Alwen's blog...
...where I was mesmerized by what I found.

Not only that...she happened to be hosting a give away.
I left a comment and much to my surprise and delight
was picked the winner.
When I returned from Florida
there was a most exciting little package waiting for me.
It was meticulously wrapped in beautiful papers...
and contained enchanting tiny gifts...
...bits of French ephemera, old clock faces, a teensy key,
a coin, some vintage lace,
a wonderful antique French document...
and a little bisque baby doll who we fondly call Brocante Baby.
Oh lucky me!
I was completely enthralled with her art
and am now a passionate follower of her blog.
Corey did a wonderful post about Alwen ...
...if you missed it...

Alwen is hosting another give away ...
...one which she calls "slightly dangerous"
...and this one requires a bit of an imagination.

Thank you, Corey for introducing me to Alwen
as well as the other artists that you have been featuring
in your Saturday Art Saves feature.
I am enjoying it immensely!
And now....
another blogging friend is having a wonderful give away too!
Jackie from Bliss Farm Antiques is on her way to France!
She is promising to bring back a treasure from her trip and give it to one lucky winner!
It could be You!
