An update on the BERNINA Meet Me In Paris Trip
TUESDAY, February 24–I found a FEDEX package on my doorstep –inside were two red BERNINA berets and two BERNINA silk scarves. Such a fun surprise! Thanks BERNINA!
To learn more about this exciting experience, click on the link below.
On the morning of February 13, 2026, we joined a video conference call with the Bernina folks, the other BERNINA Meet Me In Paris Sweepstakes Grand Prize winners, the tour operator who is responsible for our transfers and stay, and our tour guide and guru, Rebecca Devaney. (Lots to share about her in just a bit!)
We learned the many details about the logistics of the trip; when we leave, where we go, how we meet up with each other, how we will get to where we will be staying, WHERE we will be staying….you get the gist. Next, we were introduced to Rebecca Devaney–the STAR of the show!
Rebecca established TEXTILE TOURS OF PARIS in 2019 and she will be our tour guide. I have listed below all the great places she will be taking us to and sharing all of her secrets! (OK, probably not all of them, but enough to make things VERY fun!)
To learn more specifics of where we will be going and what we will be experiencing:
Alongside Rebecca’s many accomplishments to date, she worked as a professional haute couture embroiderer for Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton and will be giving us an experience (glimpse) inside this magical world.

SLAINTE!
Just like the French toast, “Santé”, the Italian toast “Salute” and “Salude” in Spanish, the Irish toast, “Slainte”, (pronounced “slawn-che), meaning “Health”. So here is to your health and to a spectacular St. Paddy’s Day celebration!
SWEET NOTINGS an idea
Love letters are personal, intimate and timeless. They are a piece of the soul and they share the many colors and textures of the heart. They are truth and passion infused with vulnerability, idiosyncrasy and…. well….love.
MEET ME IN PARIS!
Paris feels like the cultural nexus of my love for France, connecting my admiration for Nice, Canne, Avignon, Provence and Lyon into one unforgettable experience.
