Why I love blogging....

Through blogging we all get to interact with like minded souls around the globe and I for one, would be lost without this fabulous invention.

Some times we are even fortunate enough to meet in person. Mr FF finds it hard to comprehend the world of blogging and to him it is my imaginary world so is always a bit taken back when we meet a blogger in "real".

A month or so ago, I blogged about a fabulous vintage leather coat that I was selling and a fellow blogger wrote that they were interested in buying the coat.

That blogger was Jill, an American living in Provence. I replied that we were going to be visiting Provence and could deliver in person.

Not only does Jill offer fabulous tours around Provence, she also runs this fabulous place called Liquoristerie de Provence with her partner Pascal.

Such a beautiful showroom, selling many items which would make fabulous gifts for friends and family.

I especially loved the gift boxes as although France produces many beautiful items, they are often not marketed to their full potential.

Pascal was responsible for the reintroduction of absinthe, a drink which was banned for many years in france as it was thought to cause halucinations. You can read more about absinthe here.

They also sell lots of lovely Cote de Provence wine, which is one of our favourite rosé wines.

Whilst we were there, we sampled a perfume made from Absinthe, which has a lovely fresh smell and for me is similar to fragrance made from green teas.

There is also a version for men which Mr FF has developed a liking for so I have a feeling that I be placing an order soon Jill, if you are reading this.

Also it was due to Jill, that we found the fabulous restaurant in Casis so we hope to return to the favour should Pascale and Jill ever be in our neck of the woods.

Jill is a fellow lover of vide greniers and all things fabulous and French so if you are looking for a tour of Provence with a difference then she is the lady for you. You can read more about Jill here.

Merci beaucoup to Jill for a fabulous visit and to you all, as I would be lost without you all....you make my world a better place.

Beaucoup de bisous,

p.s. the washing was a mixture of business and pleasure as I found some fabulous vintage linen whilst in Provence :-)
