You have me with the books, never mind the wreath. And of course you know I'm a sucker for French on cards, too. Sophie, this is just SO cute. And hey, there are some first editions here too - if it didn't already have a destination it would look pretty good on one of my shelves, with my old leather-bound books LOL.
