If I'd bought it at a store I would have brought it home in a plastic bag with a piece of tissue paper if I was lucky. But I bought it from here http://www.thehopejar.com/ a delightful little store that I found online.
Also included was this vintage label:
Once I'd unwrapped the beautiful packaging, this is what I'd actually ordered. Don't you love it ? ......an antique ceiling tile .....with my favourite fleur de lis . I can't get enough but I used restraint and only ordered one.
And to top it off, this magnet of the the Seine River in Paris was also included.
In this high speed processed world, a thoughtful gesture, a personal touch and a little beauty make all the difference to soften our day.
May a little grace touch your day.

Awh, thanks Bre! I have to laugh -I felt so bad that day because I had JUST run out of tissue paper but really wanted to get your order out so I just left it in the bubble wrap. :) Thanks for your wonderful blog post, it made my day!
p.s. Yes, I can ship the labels in a small envelope...
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today--I just edited it to say that was *my* Autumn Reception on display, not Ms. Kennedy's. (A previous poster thought if was hers). I'm sure her display would be a lot different. I love your ceiling tile--I love everything French and btw--I love your blog name...Chantilly Grace, that's so pretty:)
