our marie antoinette box and a giveaway for you

by Sharon Santoni

The February edition of My Stylish French Box is all about Marie Antoinette.  Iconic figure in her own time, and still now over two hundred years later, the epitome of feminine self indulgence, amid beautiful 18th century design.

Eighteenth century images seem to please, no matter which fashion we go through.  The attention to detail, the colour palette, the craftsmanship.  All qualities that have inspired so many subsequent periods and eras.

I love to visit Versailles.   Because it’s not far from here, I can go when I wish and only try to see a small part each time.  The decadence and the luxury of time, that the former inhabitants of the palace enjoyed, can still be sensed through the ornate detail of every wall hanging, wood panelling and of course the gardens.

Of course we are not telling what is in the february box, but there is still time to purchase one as a christmas gift, to be received a few weeks later.  If you wish to gift a box , then we are happy to send you a pretty gift card that you can print out at home and pop beneath the christmas tree.

Our giveaway is open to everyone, giving you an opportunity to win a box for yourself or to gift to a girlfriend or a sister.  To take part in the giveaway  leave a comment below telling us that you have shared the giveaway on Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest.    Share as often as you like, just be sure to come back and leave a comment each time you share so we know to enter you several times.

And if you want to be sure of receiving a box then lose no time!   We are taking orders now for the February box, and they are selling fast.   It looks like this box will sell out, just like the previous boxes.   You can sign up for a year, per quarter or for a one off gift box – the choice is yours.

I have always been obsessed with art and design but when I backpacked through Paris and Versailles in my 20s it felt as though I had ‘Come Home’. I have tried to bring the French Country Home feel into my own home and it is so cozy and welcoming. I would absolutely love a chance to win one of these gorgeous boxes to grace my home with authentic french wonderfulness.

It is a cold snowy morning here in Connecticut and traveling to pick my son up from college in Massachusetts was 3 hrs going and thankfully the usual 2 hrs coming home. What a joyous post to savor with a cup of fresh made steaming white hot cocoa. Thanks! Judy

Hi Sharon,
I shared on Pinterest! I absolutely ADORE this period in French history and Rococo design!! I’ve been to Versailles as a young woman and instantly fell in love with 18thC style. The master gardener, Andre (who designed Versailles gardens, amongst others) is a key inspiration for my own “petit” garden – classical themes: rectilinear & triangular parterres, stone urns, sculptural green boxwood, white blooms of gardenia & flowering jasmine in the summer, and whitish-pink hydrangeas thrown into the mix. Lots of love & hard labor went into building my little french garden, but the joy & beauty it has brought me these past 2 years (after my late husband’s passing) is priceless.

Sincerely,
Ksenija

Reply
Ksenija December 15, 2017 - 1:43 am

Hi Sharon,
I shared again on Pinterest!
For any readers wanting to know more of Versailles gardens, the master gardener’s name was “Andre Le Notre”.

I Love the Stylish Boxes I’ve received this past year!! So thoughtfully curated and divine to open 🙂 Thank you for such a wonderful service you offer us.

Sincerely,
Ksenija

Good evening Sharon,
Your emails always stand out to me, making me stop what I am doing so I can indulge in the idea of all things French, I have been to Paris three times, the last time my husband and I also took our three adult children. France is one of my passions and I wanted them to share it with us. My next dream is to see the French countryside! Your beautiful boxes are so lovingly created, allowing those far and away to appreciate French inspiration. Thank you for the opportunity to win the next box. I pinned this on my Pinterest board ” My heart lies in Paris”!
