How to Own Chanel for Under a Euro: Chanel Valentine's Stamps!
Since my culinary adventures have been curtailed to some degree due to surgery, I thought I would share this fashionable and timely, but not necessarily food-related, post!
Each year the French Postal Service commissions a fabulous, world renowned fashion designer to create heart shaped stamps to commemorate Valentine's Day. The first of these "designer hearts" postage stamps were issued in 2000 and, in 2004, the French Postal service commissioned the one and only Karl Lagerfeld to design a sheet of Chanel heart-shaped stamps. GASP - how beautiful are they?!
I thought they were way too pretty to waste on actual postage so I purchased a set on eBay and had them framed! Just a little Chanel eye candy to brighten a girl's day. I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with beautiful things that make you smile!
Cheers,

I love anything French, and I am obsessed with Coco Chanel!! I wish the USPS would pick up on this trend!! Hope your surgery wasn't serious and that you're recovering well!
