I've always loved this French saying. Translated it means my little cabbage. How sweet, right? In school I was taught that the French use this as a term of endearment, especially on Valentine's Day. However, years later after befriending some Frenchmen I learned that is not the case. In fact they found the saying very strange and had never used it before. Either way, I still find the saying extremely endearing. Have a lovely day mes petits choux!{Photo source: Plucked and Plumed}
What a sweet little story. After years of living overseas in a French speaking country I haven't quite heard this used either..similar things though. That bag on the other hand is precious and I would buy it in a heartbeat:)
ReplyDeleteCute little bag there, Mary Beth, and it just goes to show, everything you learn in school isn't always correct, right?! Good to know, have a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so cute! I really want it for my reusable shopping bag collection. :)

ReplyDeletehaha that's good to know because i've always thought of it as a term of endearment also! but it's still so cute :)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute bag! I love the saying too! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a Suisse thing? My Grandma called my Mom Chou Chou after this saying. It supposed to mean the youngest in the family. My Dad thought it was cute and when she came to visit him in America he introduced her to his family as Chou Chou. Now that's what everyone calls her outside of work.
