France in a Bag

Hello my lovelies, as promised over on facebook I'm sharing what I have planned for 2016.

As you will know the plans for the chateau have fallen through, for now at least but I'm still going ahead with my plans to rescue and restore old buildings in France and bring them back to life, so that they can be used and loved by everyone. This time I am starting small, really small...I'm going to be converting the old barn I already own. This old barn is in the French lake district, it is set in deepest rural France and offers a relaxing, laid back way of life. 





I will do another post on my plans for the barn next week but for now I want to tell you about my other new venture and my plans for 2016.

I absolutely adore France and I know most of you feel exactly the same way as I do. I love the food...the wine...the people...the buildings...the style...in fact I love everything French. With each trip to France I find it harder and harder to tear myself away. Each time I leave I bring a little bit of France back home with me. This got me to thinking...wouldn't it be great to receive a little bit of France each month, something unique, something stylish, something not massed produced. I would love this and I know many of you would too!

This brings us to my plan for 2016




...France in a Bag.  


A unique subscription service delivered to your door each  month.
 
Each month you will receive a bag of goodies which has been personally sourced from small and artisan suppliers in France. Each piece is either designed or manufactured in France ( mostly both) and will be of the utmost quality.
 
Each bag will have a retail value of at least £30 giving you a great saving each month.
 
It's also perfect as a present, making it a gift that keeps on giving each and every month.
 
 
 
Items can include products such as:
savon de marseille, french lavender products, french linen products, postcards etc. 

This is a monthly subscription service but
you can opt out of our monthly subscription anytime you want - no hassle and no fuss!
 
We will deliver to UK, Europe, US & Australia and guess what...P&P is included!
 
We want you to be so happy with your purchase that you will share with your friends 

Our aim is to delight & surprise you each and every month!
 
 
 
 
 
A new website is in production as we speak and the 1st of the bags will be available to order next week, with dispatch date being 15th January 2016.
 
As a special thank you to all my facebook friends and new blog readers I have decided to offer a Special Limited Edition 1st bag. This bag will have a retail value of £50! This special offer is valid for the 1st 20 subscriptions only. 

If you are interested in being updated when the website goes live and the offer is valid please send me an email HERE and I'll let you know.

Don't forget to let me know what you think of the idea!

Love and Hugs.
