Chanel postcards



A girl should be two things:
Who and what she wants.
~ Coco Chanel

I was cleaning up some drawers the other day and found these beautiful Chanel postcards that I had been sent in the mail, and I put away and forgot about. The year was 1996.

It is the weekend here!
Wishing you all a very happy weekend

Hugs
Carolyn

    It's always such a treat to look for one thing and find another- something you had forgotten you had! Lovely, Carolyn!

    Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my little Wednesday Tea Party; it's always a delight to have you visit!

    I enjoyed your psot today about the Chanel cards, they're lovely! Did you happen to see the recent movie about her life, entitled "Coco"? I did, and although I found it bittersweet, yet overall I really enjoyed it!

    Your bears are really very adorable by the way!


    Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee @ The Plumed Pen and also @ Silken Purse

    thanks for your visit Rosarita, and Coco Chanel did have such style with her Fashion.

    Many thanks Jeanne and have a great week.

    How lovely to hear from you Traude, I have been wondering how you have been and we have missed you here.

    Hi Gloria,

    My husband had bought me a black
    Chanel jacket for my 40th birthday and I kept getting in the mail some lovely books and postcards, so that was really exciting.
    It is Monday here and the first of March!

    Hi Alison,

    I love the Chanel boutique too and my heart gives a flutter when you just walk in the door.
    Everything is fabulous.

    Hugs
    Carolyn
