Marie Antoinette's

The end of the year has snuck up on me so quickly I was hardly prepared for all the engagements and invitations, planning, gift buying, organizing, wrapping etc....  baking! oh my.  I am sure many of you are just as busy or last minute as me perhaps?

In honor of the season and new year I am happy to present the end of season giveaway!  It has been a really wonderful year here, lots of good gossip, art, fashion and scandals to talk about and I have particularly enjoyed getting to hear from so many readers! It is so great to read through the comments and emails and I hope to hear from more of you and more often!

There are 4 prizes to win in this giveaway:

Two lucky readers will receive a fotofolio mini-note book featuring  La Grande Odalisque by Jean-August-Dominique Ingres.  The notebook has an elastic closure, and is very handy for travel- from the Louvre.



One reader will receive a lovely mini Marie Antoinette inspired keepsake box, in the shape of a book, with a green tea vegetable based barre de savon! There is even a little cameo on the inside lid! (by Punch Studio)

And the final 'grand' prize will go to one reader: a copy of the Juicy Couture edition of Clue! Perfect for hosting parties with tea, finger sandwiches and scandal! 
When Heather first showed me this edition I nearly fell off my chair! Complete with a fun description:
