Our 2015 Blog is ONLY just underway for us here at Charentes-Chic as for some completely unknown reason it has taken us 6 months to access our account-whether the Hackers had been at work or not we have no idea but we are Back-and SO much has changed! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our puppies all flew the nest and made their way across the English Channel to their new homes up & down the UK and we couldn't choose between the terrible two so we kept them both!......</div>

Infact we're over the Moon!....Both girls in the Ring of Honneur meant I had to borrow a handler as whilst I am quite capable of handling one at a time-two together is impossible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their next outing is next month so I have a few weeks to recover!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile I have just returned from the UK after visiting for my youngest Granddaughter's First Birthday Party...</div>

We apologise to all our faithful band of Followers & Treasure Hunters for the Lack of any Blog for quite a while now but our lives have been so very busy what with our Brocante Antique Vintage French work and the other Project close to our hearts-the Future of our Dobermann Kennel here in France. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As many of our regulars will know, we have built up our Pedigree Line here from new European stock after over 30 years combined Breeding,Showing & Judging experience back in the UK.and the Future is looking bright! So without further ado-let us introduce you to the Future.......</div>

Our beautiful Dita presented us with this gorgeous litter three weeks ago and it's been all hands on deck ever since!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had to be content staying in and caring for these beautiful little people (oh such a terrible drudge!!)whilst John has been busy toiling away at the Brocantes,sending me photographic evidence of all that's available so I can say yay or nay via the computer and help him choose what to bring home for all our lovely customers.....so while I'm not there in Body I'm certainly there on the end of a phoneline,isn't technology wonderful! I have to say he's doing good! He's doing REALLY good bless him!</div>

The CHEEK of it-it actually encourages custom which in turn creates revenue for the hierarchy-but they weren't playing ball...so neither are we and will NOT knuckle under and be ruled by an organisation who doesn't give two hoots about faithful sellers.....we will be looking for other outlets for our items,one of which is already doing very well here on their biggest rival site thankyou very much! We will go where we are appreciated It won't be long before they alienate all their sellers and they all jump ship for friendlier climes! and it will SERVE THEM RIGHT!<br />

We had a slow and leisurely stroll around as I am still having to take things steady following my recent emergency operation,and would like to take this opportunity to massively thank all our genuine and wonderful customers who stood by us when things were becoming a little chaotic for John who not only had to hold the fort all on his own but run a business and see to our canine family,aswell as visit me daily in hospital for nearly two weeks-(an hour drive each way) all time consuming and reducing his time in the day dramatically for him to get everything else done.It really took its' toll on him and he was just my rock throughout it all. Our customers sent so many messages of support and their patience throughout has been amazing....of course there will always be the odd couple who don't believe you have any right to be taken ill at a minute's notice and are just concerned purely about their parcel and nothing else.....it takes all sorts I suppose!</div>

It's been non-stop as per usual in our busy,busy lives hence the lack of a new blog....</div>

Two weeks ago we were looking forward to browsing one of our favourite local Brocantes but the weather has been very unkind on weekends recently,though it has been glorious throughout the weeks! When the weekend arrives -it seems the heavens have opened and ruined a lot of people's hopes of a good selling day...as for buyers like us-it has been equally disappointing-good job we have stock to fall back on!</div>

Such wonderful peace and tranquilty watching the fields of gold swaying in the breeze whilst munching away on my bowl of chicken salad...sheer bliss!Oh and the bells tolled at dinnertime just for added effect which resounded across the valley...gorgeous..!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so from there we rang some Vendor friends of ours in the Vienne and journeyed across to see what delights they'd been saving for us.We happened upon them at a Brocante at the weekend and they asked us to their home to view some treasures they'd put to one side for us as we'd gone to two other Brocantes before landing at our normal hunting ground on Sunday and missed some wonderful textiles by arriving moments too late...I spied some very desirable items in the back of their van only to be informed I was too late and so started having screaming fits when they told me they were already sold!...(Ggrrrrrrrr!),so with that in mind they had invited us privately to their home for first choice of new stock-THAT's how I like it-BEFORE it even gets to the Brocantes! So inevitably I came away with a smile on my face........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so I must get the camera working before it gets too hot to go out and photograph some more Treasures.....A Bientot!</div>

Nothing could have prepared us for Esto's latest Conquest.........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday was yet another Bank Holiday here in France and we travelled north to just outside of Paris to the Chateau Flins sur Seine where the 41st National D'Elevage Championship Show of the Dobermann Club de France was being held in the grounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dita and Esto were both Entered in their respective Open Classes-Adult Female Black and Adult Male Black as they are now 3 yrs and 2 yrs old this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The French Title of Champion is one of the hardest to achieve in Europe within the Dobermann Breed as it comprises of both Beauty and Working Qualifications.There are only two chances per year to gain the CACS-One of such requirement awards for the title-at the National Show & the Championnat Show. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Esto not only won his Class with an Excellent A Grading-the highest achievable but went on to challenge all the other class winners to win the CACS! To say we are thrillaed is an absolute understatement</div>

By 7.30am we're always ready for a sit down and an Espresso and Croissant! Whew! Sometimes we have to walk for seemingly MILES back to the van laden with goodies-it's tiring stuff this!</div>

We have some lovely new finds plus LOTS of stock-so time permitting it will be listed as soon as we can but we have lots of projects going on at the same time and seem to be running round like headless chickens lately.Thanks so much for our customer E-mails,it's really touching some of the things you say (special thanks to Susan and Maggie for your very kind words) and we are very grateful for all your continued support and appreciation of what we try to achieve for you in the form of choice.......x</div>

Finally....This Stunning Image is by the Painter Eugene Delacroix(1798-1863) entitled La Liberte Guidant le Peuple-Liberty guiding the People, painted in 1830.....it caught my eye whilst trawling the Internet for something completely different-oh how I would love to find such Artwork on our travels!

I lost count of the times I had to lug heavy bags back to the van,but we always stay around until the general public start arriving in their hordes......by which time we're just having a last "sweep" incase we've missed anything, then back to the van and head off home before the sun gets really warm, taking in a nice walk with our babies en-route and picking up a coffee and pastry for refreshment! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a very sad week for us this week as our beloved Cat MATISSE was found dead on the roadside just near our house by our neighbour Julie.It can't have been easy for her to tell us and we were devastated.......he was a special boy who loved the dogs and we think he truly believed he was a Dobermann himself.....our beautiful baby was just coming up 3 yrs old-I thought he would be around forever....Dita goes out every evening to wait for him to come home for his tea...I don't think any of us can believe he will never come home again.....RIP Matisse.......we all miss you SO much...</div>

When I pulled this huge beautiful Tapestry out of our stockroom this weekend in order to photograph and list on site,I started to do a little research on the signature to the Lower right hand corner....D'apres Alonzo Perez....imagine my surprise when I discovered he was an artist born in Zaragosa in Spain-where we went a few weeks ago to exhibit the dogs!!! What a conicidence! Featuring stunning scenic patternation and superb Boder this really is a beautiful piece full of faded Grandeur-I wonder which Chateau wall it may have graced as it certainly is quite Large for a normal sized abode!</div>

We picked up a few new bits & pieces and today I will start to photograph them to mix in with what I already have lined up for this week-weather permitting of course.I love to stroll at my leisure,browsing the stalls,stopping for an Espresso and a pastry (the diet starts today also!) as strolling at my leisure isn't going to lose the extra pounds put on over the tempting festive season when everything was too tasty to resist! I still have an addiction to raspberries though,and as they are one of my five a day fruit and veg I can make excuses.......</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After nearly two weeks of Flu & Bronchitis we felt like we really needed a break & change of Scenery,and as we had entered a Dogshow in Zaragoza in Spain with the Russian Princess (her first) we decided at the last minute last weekend to go for it,even though we still wern't 100%....so we packed the van with all the essentials & set off for Sunny Spain........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We encountered every kind of weather en-route,it really was most peculiar! Leaving a dull and dreary Poitou-Charentes,we headed south where the Sun came out and it was so hot we were getting burnt through the windscreen-it almost necessitated rooting out the suncream!AND Sunglasses! But that soon changed and warning signs above us on the motorway urged caution as we were coming up to very hard rain......it was SO Torrential I thought the van roof was going to cave in and you couldn't see 2 yeards infront of you,despite the Windscreen wipers on full pelt......it was AWFUL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That went on for quite a while then the skies cleared and we crossed the border into Spain,and started to climb up into the Mountains,where we ended up tailgaiting not one but TWO Snowploughs in a Blizzard! It really was unreal,like we were going through the complete changing of Seasons throughout a year-all in one DAY!.....</div>

All we needed now was some Wind.....and as if on cue,it came with a vengeance,we felt like the Van was going to be swept up in a whirlwind and hurled away like Dorothy's house in the Wizard of Oz.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
EVENTUALLY....things calmed down and we felt like we were getting somewhere....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There is some stunning scenery along the way,and of course we stopped numerous times to let the dogs stretch their legs ....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hadn't been organised enough to book a Hotel in advance for the night as we hadn't decided until the last minute to go anyway,so we had the venue to find for the Show the next day & a room at the Inn for us and the mutts....it was proving rather difficult as the Show Passes had no directions on them! So in desperation when we found ourselves side by side with a Police Car at the traffic Lights, I wound the window down and did my damsel in distress party piece and they waved us into the nearest layby to see what our problem was.....what a wonderful trio of young Spanish Policemen they were-charming and helpful they offered to escort us there,so we followed them for about 15 minutes & found the Exhibition Centre we would be attending the following morning.I was very impressed with their generosity to say the least! We were then told by the Security man on the gates that there was a Dog-friendly hotel 5 minutes away so we set off to the Huge Tulip Inn Zaragoza Plaza Feria Hotel which we could see looming in the distance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had no idea what to expect but the foyer was milling with all sorts of breeds of different dogs so we were with like-minded folk at least! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were informed by the receptionist there was just ONE double room left so we took it,regardless of not having seen it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We needn't have worried-Wow- we opened the door to a huge spacious room with gorgeous wetroom,King Sized Bed and Luxury Fitments & fittings-we were well impressed!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We always take dog cages,beds & blankets etc with us but there was plenty of room for us and three Dobermanns and our babies are always very well behaved anyway so we were very pleased.It was amusing going up and down in the mirrored lift to let them out for a wee and walk,as every time they met a new "friend" of a different breed-the Hotel was fully booked -they must do a roaring trade!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After settling down after a very cheap meal in the hotel restaurant later,we collapsed into bed ready for the next day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It has been a very tiring week since-and we have had the surprising down side of the Flu making its' re-appearance,so we hadn't been as fully recovered as first thought and as a consequence, items have been slow to be listed on the Auction Site but we are getting there.The weather has been horrendous raining all the time and it is difficult to photograph pieces to their best advantage but I had taken some pictures prior to Spain so it is catching up slowly but surely.I have been saving some special pieces for times like this....I'm sure you'll agree it's been worth the wait!

Having both been struck down with the dreaded Lurgy for well over a week we had to eventually give in and visit the Doctor's surgery last weekend...we cannot believe how debilitating flu and bronchitis can be which is what we were diagnosed with,so our kitchen table now resembles a Pharmacy but slowly and surely we are clawing our way back to health but it really has been a nightmare both of us being ill at the same time.</div>

The previous weekend saw us fighting fit and attending our first dogshow of 2014 in Bordeaux with our Handsome boy Esto.The girls were entered NFC (Not for competition) but came along for the ride and for the benefit of the adoring Public who visit these events in their droves,curious about all the different breeds of Dog on Exhibition. The baby Russian Princess did a meet & greet around the show after Judging in our breed was finished and captured the hearts of so many people it took us ages to walk more than 10 feet at a time before being stopped by the inquisitive and appreciative dog-loving members of the Public who were all in awe of her beauty and gentle disposition-we were very very proud of her and how she conducted herself-good practise for her First Show which is booked and coming up in another country where she is allowed to be exhibited with her cropped ears.....Meanwhile Esto pulled out all the stops and came home with the coveted First Prize in the Intermedaire Male class with a grading of Excellent again from the Judge who also decided he was so magnificent he awarded him the Ultimate Best Male in Breed and CACS & CACIB! This is his second such award in as many shows and he needs two more for his International Champion Title-so needless to say,we were thrilled AGAIN!!</div>

He fell flat on his face out of the weighing scales bowl the instant the camera shutter clicked as he is far too big for it really now...and we all fell about laughing as it was soooo funny- the first solid feed went down a treat but he still wanted mummy's milk straight after he'd had a taste of big boy food....bless him.If ever I was going to become a Dog Kidnapper...it is now-I just wanted to put him under my coat and come home with him,he's so truly GORGEOUS.......!</div>

We forgot all about how poorly we felt when we saw him-he made everyone smile and lifted us all for the rest of today, it was just a shame we had to leave him and come home!We all have high hopes for this little man who is looking very promising at this tender age...even more so than dare we say.his Father did!

This very special little man made his way into the big wide world smack bang on my Birthday! How's THAT for timing! He is the first born Male puppy son of our Esto,so he is very special indeed! A small select & well respected Dobermann Kennel here in France,breeding for Quality not quantity & producing no less than 6 Full French Champions in as many consecutive years, chose our boy to be the sire of their next litter,so it has been an exciting time over New Year and we feel highly honoured! Our boy has done us so proud over the past twelve months in the Showring here in France-this was just the icing on the cake.This gorgeous little guy is already booked and the breeder has a wonderful home lined up for him in Paris where he too will be Exhibited & worked,as full French Champions require working qualifications here in France.We are excited at this future prospect carrying on the bloodlines from our boy and feel that all our hard work of training and exhibiting is beginning to pay off.....such a sweet little man he is...</div>

Everywhere we've been over the last week there are still twinkling lights and sparkly decorations flashing away...oh well,maybe they are trying to make it last through until next year to save taking them all down!</div>

We have had a great Festive time with family and Friends but now it's time to knuckle down and get back to the serious stuff-work! Parcels started leaving again for Worldwide destinations yesterday & the Russian Princess puppy came with us for some socialisation and to meet the staff......she also had a walk around the Village and we were stopped on numerous occasions to enquire where she had come from with her cropped ears as folk know they ended the practise here in France a few years ago although Tail Docking is still legal here....though not in the UK for some five years since.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her ears are coming along nicely....note her Blingy Pink Collar she had delivered from Santa......only the best for the Princess!.....</div>

Nothing could have prepared me for what my trip to Paris had in store for me.....I thought we were going Christmas Shopping! We set off on the 9th December and John said we were staying overnight and to pack a bag...so of course HOW excited was I?! Thinking we were breaking the journey because of the distance from here...and the traffic. He took me on a Fabulous sightseeing drive around the stunning Paris by Night...the Christmas lights were spectacular and I got all emotional as we ended up parked right infront of the Eiffel Tower,all lit up-it was Magical....</div>

and after walking the dogs underneath it and all around we finally grabbed a bite to eat & collapsed into our Hotel room bed,Dita parked neatly between us and Esto padding & panting around the room all night like a Tiger (he hates Hotel rooms).Dita on the other hand in total contrast calmly climbs on the bed,crosses her front paws like a lady,grunts and goes to sleep every time without fail, usually with a huge sigh of contentment! She knows when she's got it good!</div>

I landed at John Lennon Airport and spent three days with my parents,shopping till we dropped in Historic Chester......what a beautiful City it is....<br />

But it all had to come to an end and after another busy four days with my son & Family and darling Granddaughter Princess Erin with her Birthday Celebrations I had to bid them all Farewell & fly back home to France.......and now I have to catch up with Listing some new goodies to tempt you with,always a pleasure as I love my Work!<br />
It will soon be that Special day on December 25th,so may we take this opportunity to wish all our valued Customers a very Merry Festive time-thankyou you all for your custom throughout the Year and hope to see you again in the New Year 2014!<br />

It's getting harder & harder to drag ourselves out of bed at stupid-o'clock in the hunt for Treasures,and to be honest we have enough stock put by to warrant a lie-in at weekends,but it's the thought of tracking down that elusive piece of France that spurs us on.....and a few Espresso's later,I'm usually awake......I tend to fall out of the van at whatever destination we arrive at.....and can't seem to focus straight away.........!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
France has too many tempting Patisseries-I am slowly munching my way into another dress size-and no amount of walking around Brocantes is going to cure it.....but when you havn't had time for breakfast,and a lovely Festive Window entices you in......it's hard to resist!</div>

We travelled to three different Brocantes in three different areas this last weekend......and gradually,from being frozen to death at 6.00am, began to thaw out as the morning went on-it was positively beautiful by dinnertime with the wonderful blue skies....</div>

we found lots of new and interesting things,many of which will trickle onto the site over the coming week. We bumped into an Antique Dealer friend of ours on our travels and he passed me these delightful Tiebacks out of the back of his van-I had bought a bagful from him the previous week when we'd met up to peruse through his latest stock and he'd forgotten to show me these in the depths of his van....so he'd saved them just for me!-they're just so LUSH! </div>

Sunday morning saw us up at 4am and out of the house for 5am travelling Northbound for 2 hrs searching for Treasures to a beautiful City which reminded us of Paris with its' stunning Buildings and Tree-lined Avenues.We actually got there a little TOO early and the Vendors were still trying to wake themselves up gathered round the Buvette clutching their cups of Cafe & Chocolate Chaud & munching on warm Crepes & Croissants.Our dogs were yawning away in their warm beds in the back of the van wondering why thye'd been woken up so early but needs must & where we go,they go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Christmas decorations were hung from the trees,the streets looked spectacular lit up like a Magical Wonderland but guess who'd left the camera at home so the I-phone had to do and mine doesn't take great pictures unfortunately.......so I apoligise in advance for any blurred visions....</div>

We had a lovely time at the Brocante and found some lovely pieces which will trickle onto the site over the coming week or so......but one particular item I found won't be going on site unfortunately,instead it is going to light up my mum's face on Christmas Morning...she will LOVE this Handpainted & Hand Enamelled signed Art-Deco Limoges Brooch.......I couldn't resist it for her....</div>

Well it's been quite an eventful week here.......Halloween came and went and for the first time in years we had no little callers at the door despite being armed with a large basket of Treat Bags all neatly tied up & a pile of Lollies...apparently the Village children had gone to a special event in the NEXT Village until quite late whereby their parents had decided it was too late by the time they got home to knock on any more doors...so the Basket of Sweets sat staring at us on the kitchen table...and well,let's just say temptation got the better of us and we succumbed.....but there were more than enough to go round and I delivered the rest the next day to delighted recipients.....</div>

Sunday just gone, saw us heading off to Poitiers for the 2nd Day of a Two-day International Championship Dog Show where we'd entered Esto in the Dobermann Intermediate Male Class-mainly for somewhere to go which wasn't too far away for the day,mainly to keep John's Parents entertained who have been spending the week here from Leeds in Yorkshire. They love dogs so had ample opportunity to wander to their hearts' content admiring all the different breeds present on Day Two including their own beloved breed the Miniature Schnauzer. We got two chairs set up at the Dobermann Ring and set about showing our handsome boy-we wern't quite prepared for the results though!He totally swept the board by winning-1st Intermediate Class Black Male,Best Male,the CACS,the CACIB and BEST OF BREED!WOW!! Our friends were there also showing their Intermediate Female who needed just 1 x CACIB for her French Champion Title and she won that too! So as you can imagine-we were the noisiest ring in the hall-screaming,whooping and jumping up & down for sheer Joy....so there were lots of smiles and celebratory drinks!! Not content with that,our stunning boy also got shortlisted later to the final 10 dogs in a huge Working Group so a great day was had by all and two very pleased Parents to see it all unfold before their very eyes!</div>

Not often do we come across coloured Glass Shades for Wall Lights,they are usually translucent but the above Wall Light was an Exquisite find -I absolutely loved the Peach Petal Shade and found it hard to part with but we search for and seek out treasures for all you wonderful customers out there-so it had to be done,painful though it was....! It is now on its' way to Japan where hopefully its' new owner will love it as much as we did! And earlier on a few weeks ago we found a beautiful Antique Chandelier with the most gorgeous Peach Glass Lustres which was unfortunately very damaged and unrepairable,so again,we were privy to some beautiful Peach coloured glass AGAIN!.....these make gorgeous decorations for Christmas Trees or Festive Table Decorations with a little imagination.....</div>

This past week or so has been an amazing series of events. We packed the van to the rafters with dogs,suitcases,and our work and headed off on the Saturday north-east through France to Luxembourg for the 87th Two-day International Dog Show held in Kirchberg. We travelled up on the Saturday and stayed overnight in Livange, meeting up with two fabulous friends Sandra & Serge who took us out for a wonderful Chinese Meal which was gorgeous. The next morning we made our way to the huge Luxexpo Centre to compete with our two babies Dita and Esto in the Breed Classes under Serbian Judge Blaz Kavcic-never in our wildest dreams did we expect what happened next. Esto has been extremely successful in the Showring of late, but on Sunday 8th September he did us the proudest yet by winning Junior Black Male,Best Junior and Best Male giving him his Junior Luxembourg Champion Title!!!</div>

A little later,Dita went into the ring to compete and won Open Black Female,Best Female the Luxembourg CAC AND the International CACIB Award!-which meant she had to compete against the Best Male in Breed-which was our ESTO!!!! John handles both dogs in the ring which meant I had to step in and take Dita (my baby) while he handled Esto (his baby) and Dita won BEST of BREED! We literally swept the board with both of our dogs-we couldn't quite believe it-infact a week later and we are STILL on Cloud 9!!!!</div>

We left Luxembourg absolutely Buzzing and made the long journey through Belgium to Calais and the Eurotunnel-first time our babies have ever visited the UK! Out came their Petpassports-I think they both felt very important while they had their microchips scanned-and paperwork checked!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Onwards we travelled through the UK and up into Yorkshire arriving around 8am Monday Morning-and absolutely shattered so after a welcome cup of Yorkshire tea and some breakfast we fell into bed at the Inlaws and caught up on some well deserved sleep! Later that day we had to go to the garage as the van was complaining & moaning very loudly at all the travelling we'd just done and it was discovered that the gearbox had given up the ghost.So instead of stopping for a few days we were stuck in Yorkshire until late Friday night when we landed with a few hours to spare in Staffordshire for my beloved son's wedding the next day!-talk about cutting it fine!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a Magical Day it was-a Beautiful venue in the Cheshire Countryside,a Stunning Bride and my proudest moment as a parent to see my son get married to the love of his life-accompanied by my gorgeous Granddaughter as Bridesmaid/Flower Girl........oh yes there were tears but of Joy,it was wonderful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everyone loved my hat........</div>

And so it was a wonderful week despite the van, seeing and meeting up with treasured friends and family so as a result work is a little slow at the moment but we are catching up.......and still out and about searching for treasure though it's taking a little while to get back into the swing of things-but please bear with us-we'll be up and running and back to normal in no time at all! So until we meet again...au revoir for now!</div>

Today I am just about getting back into the swing of things after a flying visit to the UK to choose my outfit for my son's forthcoming Wedding. Can't wait to wear my huge Jacques Vert Hat!! I somehow think I'm going to need some space either side of me on the big day or somone will end up with a Black Eye!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was wonderful staying with family and spending time with my princess Granddaughter Erin who filled me in on all the correct family members' names of Peppa Pig . I also learned how to play shop,spent time colouring, moulding cakes with Playdough & various other activities such as reading Mr.Men stories etc-it doesn't seem so long ago I was doing the same with my own son as a youngster-my how time flies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pampered by Lisa who just so happens to be a hairdresser (very useful as a daughter-in-law!) and had my hair all spruced up ready for their big day in less than three weeks. It's amazing how wonderful a hair </div>

makeover makes you feel when you walk out of the salon with a bounce in your step AND in your hair!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Erin kept saying...Nana your hair is BEAUTIFUL as she ran her fingers through it time and time again.....well at least she COULD run her fingers through it,it hasn't been that sleek for ages!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....and as fast as I was there for five days,it seemed I was beamed back to France and up with the Lark on Sunday morning straight back into the routine of searching for treasure.....YAWN</div>
