Korbella Bonjour 40 Winner

A big warm hug and thank you to all of you who joined in and helped spread the word. We had so many fabulous new readers join in on our Korbella/Bonjour 40 giveaway.

Congratulations to Kathy Perdue! She’ll receive the gorgeous Korbella’s Charmes de Paris necklace with a retail value of $525, and an autographed copy of Bonjour 40, the special photography edition. (She was randomly selected using the Rafflecopter giveaway app., but I love knowing that a woman who devotes her time and her career to helping SPCA animals has a little good karma returned.)

We had many fabulous comments on the question of what the Eiffel Tower represents for you. Below are the favorites:

• History’s sense of its own beauty.
• Paris!
• Love of life. (I ran my first marathon and got engaged in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower)
• The best week of my life, spent with my best friend in Paris.
• Romance, History, Possibility
• Best trip ever!
• Parisian beauty
• Dreams
• It’s a uniquely recognizable symbol of Paris-can’t wait to see in person!
• The answer to a lifelong dream. I have wanted to visit Paris and the Champs Elysee since I was a child and began to learn the language. That desire is still with me.
• Paris! La Vie en Rose…
• Adventure, whimsy, dreams, confidence, self-expression, art, culture
• Icon, style, dreams, height, viewpoint, aspiration
• Heaven
• Our visit to Paris in 1994 with two of our very best friends!

Overwhelmingly, the most common response was “Romance!” I feel the same way, my dear readers and new friends. Sigh… oh how I do.  Happy Valentine’s Day. May you all one day find romance in Paris as I did.
