200 Celebration and {French} Giveaway!!

Today is the day!!  I have hit over 10,000 views, I have over 200 followers, and I am right at 100 posts!  Today I am getting to say thank you to all my readers.  Today (and the rest of the week, of course) you have a chance to win some really cute items from France!!  Why today, you might ask?  Well first, I wanted to make sure I actually stayed at 200 followers.  I posted a pretty risque strawberry pie recipe that might have offended a few people.  And second, I am super lazy and slow with getting everything together!  Alas, I have prepared and am ready to present my French items I lugged all the way home from little l'Etrat to give to one of you lovely readers!  Check 'em out!

First up, chocolate!  A French giveaway wouldn't be complete without chocolate.  Need I say more?
 
I have these beautiful vintage coasters from Paris.  Gotta love it, typical Parisian! 
 French coffee.  My favorite brand.  Yes, I know it says Colombia on it, but hey, it is a French brand.
 Beautiful French scarf!  It is actually lightweight, so depending on your weather, you might be able to wear it for a bit before it gets too hot. 

Don't you want to know how to enter?  Okay, settle down, I will tell you!  :)

Mandatory:
 {1} Entry: Be a follower of me and leave a comment letting me know you are.  If you already are, you know how awesome you are, and leave a comment letting me know!

Extras:
{1} Entry: Follow me on Twitter
{1} Entry: Follow me on Facebook
{1} Entry each: Tweet, Facebook, or blog about this giveaway!  I am even going to supply you with a simple little tweet to use, if you so desire!  (making it easy for ya!)

I have entered to win a French themed giveaway at @NataliaLSimmons blog, Ma Nouvelle Mode Check it out! http://bit.ly/ifKgf7

I hope you win!  :)  And feel free to spread the word!
