Frenchie Finds January 2023
Bonjour tout le monde! Bonne année à tous! Happy new year francophile friends! Congratulate yourselves, you made it through the holidays. And that is saying a lot as this one was rough! Once a century storm, airport meltdowns, and more! Let's turn that page, d'accord? Now what?
Well. People have January birthdays (moi par example!), January anniversaries, V-day is coming on the horizon. Maybe you got some holiday cash or gift cards. Bottomline is, there are still Francophiles out there that will need a gift this month. That is what Frenchie Finds is all about.

Notecards for New Year Wishes
The French don't really send out Christmas cards, but they do send out cards wishing their family and friends a happy new year. So why not help your Frenchie out by supplying him/her with some beautiful notecards to do so? Or get them for yourself. Or buy them for your Francophile to use throughout the year.
