   ROFL ! Where DO you find these Kyria? I’ve never seen any of these naughty charms before – but I’ve led a very sheltered life !

   Ref “Times Online Shopper Unlocks Vintage Charm Memories
   This was in todays New York Times and has some nice ideas for past present and future heirlooms….”
   I recently had a very good surprise (for me, living in France, where charms are quite unknown !!
   On January 6 we have a feast for the “3 Wise men”, and use to eat a “galette des Rois” (twelfth-night cake), a girdle-cake with a tiny “surprise” in it … well … a famous “Chef” in Paris created a galette with tiny enameled charms in it, a serie of 6 to win !!!
   All girls in Paris ran for it !!!
   good idea, no ????

   ok now I need the receipe for the cake- I have a set of english pudding charms – are they like the ones in the french galette des rois?
   in New Orleans for Mardi Gras they do a king’s cake with a baby charm in it- whoever gets the piece with the baby is the king or queen of the party.
