There are things that I purposefully put on my blog and state that it "WILL" get done. Then the higher powers, my readers, must see me follow-through with those actions. ;) I know that's not always true, but it gets my butt moving to complete things. Point being...my French ...

If you've read my blog for any length of time, then you know I tend to be drawn to French Country decor. If you are in that same boat, then you probably ooh and ahh over old French linens, which can be pricey. So I thought I would incorporate my love of linens and love for my friends together for this Valentine's gift set. I got some very inexpensive tea towels from Ikea.
