   I LOVE your little “chickadee” – she looks like she has lived life to the fullest, had a good time with no regrets and now she’s just saying, here I am, bring it on and I can deal with it! Having never read a blog in my life I cannot believe that I have fallen in love with yours Corey – its the first thing I read when I come into work. Dont stop and keep giving us more of “Annie” – reminds me of my slovenian grandma – very wise.

   Corey, I can’t believe you have some left? I would love love love to have some french rust. I already have a plan for them if I am lucky enough to be a recipient. Just let me know what I need to do. I can’t believe all the work you have gone to giving us all a chance for a little piece of France!

   If there are still any left I would love one or two. Let me know about the postage. I have a few orphan santons that would love a “home” from the old country.
   Merci, Erin in Morro Bay

   Hi Corey,
   Yay! I wondered what the outcome was to all your many requests. I’m the one that wanted to make some pendants out of the little boat ones or especially the “bird fountain” looking ones. If there are any of those left, please do let me know where to send the postage. I’d be so thrilled to have them! 🙂

    I’m so happy to have been the one that won the antique French teacup a while back. It didn’t require any washing!

    It seems like ages since you’ve had a guessing game! Must get a good night’s sleep tonight so my brain is fully functional to answer the gamme.

    One word for post office lady: KARMA!
    Any chance you can schlep them to a post office one town over? 🙂
    Thank you for reaching out to your readers in this way. If the post office lady knew what you were sending the crazy American fans, she’d probably spread the rumor of crazy Corey and her American friends far and wide! 🙂
    Hey, how did those stuffed cabbage rolls TASTE?

    Thank you, Corey!
    It’s so nice of you to share a little bit of your French treasures with us. I’m really looking forward to getting mine. I think I’m going to put them in a display jar and set them on my kitchen counter and enjoy them, as is, for now.

    What ecological Spring cleaning! Renaissance for those tins in new homes with new uses. Now must figure how to use those which you motivated me to buy at the market!

    These tins will have a special little spot in our home. I called my husband and ask him to post a check immediately and gave him address and such. Being at work I couldn’t leave. When he asked what I was buying for such an exorbitant price (tongue in cheek), he asked with astonishment, you are bringing French rust over here?? And I said yes, because a want a piece of old and a piece of “home”. I have a beautiful glass jar with lid that needs some treasures. And at Christmas time, they will adorn our kitchen tree. Who knows where else these will turn up.. but I thank you from the bottom of my heart and am looking so forward to this treasure package when it arrives. You are a saint!
