Goodies in the Rain

Although it's a gloomy, rainy day today, I've been significantly cheered by an international parcel that was delivered to me this morning.

Remember the French girls who subletted my apartment during the summer? One of them sent me a big package with a box of European treats:

Daskalidés Chocolatier chocolate in a pretty yellow box, tied with brown satin ribbon imprinted with the maker's logo.

Barnier Caramel Pomme au Beurre Normandie (apple caramels), in a round wooden box (like the kind cheese comes in).

Trésors de Fruits Confiture Peches vanillées (peach vanilla jam), in a glass bottle, with fruity paper wrapping.

Tanguy Galettes et Palets de Fouesnant (cookies) in a hinged, yellow biscuit tin, with a picture of the French seaside

Mère Poulard Les Galettes au Chocolate due Mont Saint Michel (chocolate-covered cookies), in a red paperboard box with pictures of castles and cocoa pods.

Lanvin Paris Rumeur Vaporisateur, Thierry Mugler Alien Eau de Parfum and Clarins Paris Gelee Auto-Bronzant Express all in a black and white Sephora shopping bag.

Please excuse me. I have some packages to tear apart.
