the may stylish french box- the reveal

by Sharon Santoni

MAY STYLISH FRENCH BOX

When we were putting together our May Stylish French Box, spring had sprung in France, and everywhere you looked little blossoms were dotting the trees, and there was that feeling of freshness in the air that only springtime can bring. We wanted to bring that feeling of spring in France to you through this box. As we chose each product, that vision came to life, and the result was a selection of gifts made from natural materials, many of which were created here in Normandy.

Only last week I ordered the August box because it is my birthday month and your hint “get ready to channel your inner Julia Child” made me even more excited since I absolutely love cooking and have been spoiling my family lately with classic French meals. May box looks very lovely.

This is such a lovely box, I’m so sad I didn’t get one! I’ve hesitated ordering a box because of a severe allergy to lavender. Can you believe it? It keeps me from ordering for fear of allergic reaction. Is it possible to know this prior to ordering? I feel I really miss out on wonderful things! Sharon, I love all I have seen of your photos and blog. Keep up the good works!
