Bonjour everyone!
Don't forget to click on the fabulous Oh La La red contest tag (on the left--not the one below) to enter and win one of the beautiful prizes. Clicking on the tag takes you right to the contest page. We already have several lovely entries but I can't wait to see what YOU create!
*************
Also, I have a new "Chez Fifi" button (on the right sidebar). I pasted it below so you can easily recognize it and add it to your blog. Many thanks to those who have already done that and merci beaucoup to those who are going to do it. If you have a button I will be happy to reciprocate.
You can also join as a follower of "Chez Fifi" via the Google Friend Connect (on the left side of the blog) I hope you do! I look forward to seeing you there and reciprocate also! Thanks.
**************
Keep an eye on Fifi TV (left side of blog). Some great videos coming up soon...................
****************
Below are some examples of new pages that will soon be added to Chez Fifi. They will be representative of various aspects of my work (styling, creating, food, gardening, decorating, feature articles, and more.) Shawn and I are working on creating pages that will be link to one another and visually add to the blog.
These are just a few samples..........
***********************
With the Holiday Season fast approaching my sister Sylvie (shappy@wanadoo.fr) has come up with a great gift idea: lovely wine bottle bags that are perfect for bringing a bottle of wine to a celebration. It's a most appropriate and thoughtful "hostess gift" and much more personal than the usual wine bag. Because of the bottles' shapes the larger ones are for white wine, the narrower ones for red wine bottles. They come with various designs and colors.
Get your order in now before she runs out! All you have to do is email her at shappy@wanadoo.fr
A votre sante!
By the way, she also has a new pillow with the Eiffel Tower. A splendid addition to your French decor. Oui?
Voila! That's it for right now. More to come. Hope you have a delightful Sunday.
Stay tuned.........................

Love your new look and excited about the "oh la la" contest. The new "pages" look spectacular...I have some on my blog but they are not nearly as beautiful as these look like they will be...so lovely, your photos... make such great eye candy. I've added your button to my sidebar as well...come by and visit sometime. Thanks, Roberta

I tried to become a Follower, but it isn't working properly on your blog! I'll come back later to see if it's fixed.

I'm with Monique, it keeps getting better and better, Fifi. I believe if I was to be locked in my house for a few days, there would be no problem, I could keep myself busy for days on end here at your blog inspired by all kinds of projects and beauty. Happy Sunday sweet princess. Thank you for the joy you bring us all.

TV! How fun! Congratulations! I wonder if there will be some way to see you via the net- I know this sounds utterly crazy but we don't watch TV and I love it!! But would love to see your program!
The Oh La La red contest sound so fun and I can think of 2 projects already if I can just find the time to do them. This may just be the kick that I needed to get started!!
Love your blog- I am one that usually just sneaks in and out but had to leave a comment this time with all you wonderful news!

Hi Fifi,
I added your button to my blog a few days back. If you'd like to add mine, it is in the sidebar of my blog.
I already am a follower and have been for a good while. I love your blog and I love the changes you've made.
I sent you an email about a week ago about a metal heart.
Thanks so much, Fifi.

Hi Fifi,
Congratulations on your t.v. debut and everything you have going on. Thank you for featuring my wreath in Romantic Country. It flew off my website.
Can you send me to where you made your blog button? I would love to make one. And to add yours to my blog.
Thanks and have a great day,
Cathy
