I love not knowing what I will bring back, the anticipation of finding amazing new things. So far this trip I've bought a few books (although they were in Holland), and a magnificent new perfume. I'm hoping to buy some shoes, and scarves on sales (the big sales start tomorrow), but if I find other stuff I don't mind. My favourite souvenir from my first trip was a pair of gold nail clippers that I bought on the Champs Elysee, and my favourite from last time was a trivet that I bought on Ile St Louis. As an Australian its often difficult to take foodstuffs home, but we can take things like vinegars or mustards, and chocolate.

What a lovely way to celebrate.<br /><br />From our trip, we brought back 3 scarves (1 for my husband) and two books signed by their gardener authors. And a box of macarons for the neighbor who watered my garden while we were gone.<br /><br />Clearly, I have more to learn about what to bring back from France.

Earl is right , I would be afraid of it getting too old,, . We don't keep wines for a special occasion ,, not that we drink it on a daily basis ,, but wine is meant to be drunk .. so maybe with a lovely meal ,, :-) xoAnne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469880.post-73931121893369959932013-06-24T03:24:19.572-04:002013-06-24T03:24:19.572-04:00French wine is fine.

For friends and family I will take Maille mustard, Mariages Frere tea and sometimes a purse that my daughter in law designs and manufactures.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041872314763651462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469880.post-38010937066127821372013-06-24T00:48:16.126-04:002013-06-24T00:48:16.126-04:00I have a routine-there is always chocolate, tea, c...I have a routine-there is always chocolate, tea, croissants, chocolate tart, herbs and then others savouries from the region where I have been. Of course one cannot forget French fashion. For awhile I was lugging back French cookbooks. On this last trip I purchased three purses-each was different-one was very casual, one I use for work to put my files in and one is really nice. It was my little splurge to me.
