This week we were able to find a few great French treasures 


an amazing French dictionary encyclopedia dated 1924
with beautiful illustrations and  fleur-de-lis on the cover

some French pictures

French clothing ads from 1865; everything is written in French

    Thank you for stopping by Brambly and following me. I would love to know how you got through the transition of your children leaving for college. I'm a little apprehensive for the change.

    Fondly,
    Ann-Marie
