Et Encore

I love old dictionaries, especially French ones.

I buy them to cut up for mailart and collage but often I can't bring myself to do it.

Cursive writing chart.
The French take their penmanship very seriously.

The illustrations are wonderful.

More Words
These are in French
Mais oui

  2. Christine, I have managed to find quite a few of them so I have cut one up and had fun using the pages for various projects.

  3. I just reponded the postcard you sent me. I used a brown card, so I hope that work for the post office with all their marking they put on stuff.

  4. I had six years of French, and two exams, and the only thing I remember is how to say "The sink is broken, please fix it." Ha!

  6. I totally agree. I have an older Petit Larousse and Bon Usage. It is tough to cut one but I know I "must."
