Francophile Friday: Scooter Tour d'Eiffel & Giveaway Winners

It's been a while since I took my imaginary pink vintage Scooter for a whirl around Paris.  A lovely young lady with her very own pink scooter {and it's a real one!} happened to spy her recently, and I'm delighted that the original now resides in her home.  She was looking for something to pair up with it, so I took myself on a scooter-flight of fancy and couldn't help pulling over at the sight of the Eiffel Tower.  {And yes, prints are available.  Thanks so much to dear Virginia, who may recognise the background scene from a photo she sent me! V, I have something else in mind for the actual subject of your photo...} 

Now, enough of the suspense.  I know you're speed reading, wondering if you've won my current giveaway.  I'll get on with it, then.  My usual barrel girl, Ella, was having a cat nap and I couldn't possibly wake her.  She didn't need to hang a Do Not Disturb sign.  I understand these things.  So, I randomly pulled playing cards from my old Darling vintage pack, 55 beautiful {girlie!} paintings by Heinz Villiger, and put a sticky note with commenter's name on each card {a lot of fun in itself}, then shuffled well and drew three.  In order of drawing {in both respects}, from left to right, here you are:

Congratulations to you all!!!  Hiker, please email me your postal address and choice of print, and I'll contact Amy and 'C of Favourite Vintage Finds' {the lucky last commenter, which goes to show it's only over when the Lady with Largesse Sings} in order to figure out the rest.

And now ~ Happy Francophile Friday to you!
