Today I have received my 100,000th like on facebook!!! This is totally astounding , and I am very grateful to everyone who stops by to check on the pictures I show. I have never bought a like, or even asked anyone to come and like me, this has all just happened on its own.
On the facebook page I show my own photos, but also pictures that inspire me from elsewhere, often tumblr. Little shots of beauty to make our days a little sweeter.
To thank everyone for their amazing support, I have a small giveaway for you. I shall be gifting each of the antique plates in the pictures here, to four readers drawn randomly next Monday.
These plates are each about 100 years old, they were originally designed as part of a dinner service. Today they are pretty in a bathroom, or with jewellery ….. or cherries ….. whatever ….. it is really up to you.
To take part in the giveaway, just leave a comment here or on the My French Country Home facebook page.
You are welcome to enter the giveaway more than once, simply spread the news and come back to tell me if you have shared on facebook, twitter or instagram.

Currently mourning the loss of my grand mother and reading your post .. So many things I hadn´t understood before, like missing someone “dreadfully”, or the comfort it brings just seeing something beautiful, knowing you both would have enjoyed. So therefore, thank you, Sharon, for the comfort of this post – and congratulations on you success! My grande mère would have liked it, too.
Congratulations, what a wonderful compliment to your beautiful work! My husband and I travelled to France last year for four weeks and we long to go back. Every morning I visit your blog for a little bit of France here in Australia. Thank you for sharing.
A great way to start the day…read Sharon’s blog.

Congrats! This is such a fun give-away to celebrate with!
I enjoy viewing your site and find it very inspiring. It is easy to understand why you have so much success!
In a world where there is entirely too much dreadful stuff, your lovely pictures remind us that there is a great deal of good and beauty and caring, too. Plus, dogs. What’s not to like? 🙂
Those plates are charming, and I’d be happy to give any of them a good home.
Once again you have done a wonderful job. So, so love the plates, one would look lovely on my reclaimed barn wood table.
This site inspires me everyday. Thanks for the lovely pictures.

Hi Sharon all I can say is what is there not to like, admire, appreciate and be inspired by! Thank you for sharing. Congrats….. Regards Esther from Sydney. PS the plates are beautiful.
I also am an ex-pat living in Switzerland. Our brocantes are called, brocki’s, with names like Brokenhaus, Brockito, Brockiland or Brockenstube. My finds are very Swiss, alpine-like. Transfer-ware was abundant when I first arrived and is now getting more expensive. I do have a lovely collection. There is a black and white German transfer-ware that is stunning. I would adore one of your little French plates. They are not as easy to find in CH. I like your blog and look forward to reading it.
I love your photos. It is still winter here and the spring you send is wonderful.
Thank you for a chance to win a pretty little dish.
Well, first of all J’adore your site and all that you write about your beautiful France.

It would be just wonderful to see your little corner of the world with my own eyes. Fingers crossed I make it……….and for a win in your giveaway……such pretty dishes!

Love the plates!! Also liked your FB page. Glad to find it!
Have been reading your blog and following you on Pinterest but just started following on Twitter and Facebook. Love all that you have shared. I love all things French. The dishes are just beautiful and they would be a joy to own. I hope to come to France one of these days and stay in your cottage.
MERCI!
Your blog is just so beautiful. Today’s my birthday, so I’d love the blue plate. May I?
Sharon my favorite colour has always been blue and the plates you show are truly sweet, simple and look as though they have been loved by families down through the years. I love their shape. I have six blue luncheon plates only that are white with a blue ivy pattern and some blue bricks as thought the ivy is growing on this brick wall. Love using them. My first good dinnerware was blue and white and over the years I had enough plates to serve over 30 people as we entertained a great deal. Since then I have given a dinner set for six to my son and his wife, a dinnerset for six to a grandson and his wife, and a dinner set for 8 to my daughter and her husband…they have 8 children but only three now living at home. Each recipent have loved the dishes as much as I did and it is wonderful when family/friends gather around the table for a meal, a repasse, tea, etc. and say ‘Grace’ to thank Our Good Lord for the family,friends and the abundance.
Your post reminds me that you do the same for family/friends and truly I love your floral arrangements and simple, thoughtful posts. Thanks for the giveawy opportunity.
Gratefully,
I’m sure it’s been said above but beautiful pictures of beautiful plates…
I so enjoy reading your blog. Congrats on so many likes! The plates are really darling, and to think they are 100 years old! If only plates could talk…
