When we look inside we see that we need to get Golden items for special St. Patricks day items.

We can already see that we need 10, 20 and 30 for special items and the others are coming soon.

You can ask for gold, buy gold for FV, find it in your Request box when send by friends or pluck it off the wall when someone post a pot of gold achievement or a "surpass" achievement.

Just like with the Valentine Box we can Compare ourselves to our neighbors which brings a real nice competition element!

image thumb30 The FarmVille Pot of Gold Guide With 5 golden items your pot already shows some gold and you are on level "meager". You can post this on your wall and share some gold:

After the Eiffel Tower we have French theme!

5 decorations for this in the Market Place:
- A forest: pretty cool a 4x4 spaces (=plot) forest, personally I would just plant 16 trees to have a forest but at least this decoration does not need any taking care of :) Actually… now I have to find another word for a whole bunch of trees together because now this definition is "taken".
- A Lavender knoll: it looks small but is actually 4x7: thats comparable to 28 lavender spots. nice and smells refreshing.
- A Provencal Pot: we can make a nice little frontgarden now with this affordable 2x2 pot
- Tall Hedge: a 2x2 TALL hedge also nice as a fence or to make some differentiation in your hedges.
- Provencal Fence: its 5x1 and looks REALLY classy, too bad we do not have a chateau (yet)

image thumb10 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! And … we have a return of the Mystery Animals Box (see the list on the left) Actually the left out the word "box" this time to just call it "Mystery Animal", but it has the same contents.

image thumb11 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! image thumb12 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! In the market we find the nicest bench until now to gift: the Kensington Bench, really classy

We also find, in the Exclusive section, A 2x2 Fancy Topiary, which fits in the French Theme here, and which I really want to have, I think it is beautiful, and then I mean the name it even sounds French: Fancy Topiary.

image thumb13 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! And… while the Carrier Pigeons where until now only available as a gift from Zynga for signing up with their e-mail newletter, it is now also available on the market for 17 FV.
image thumb14 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! A little update on the "Mafia Wars" vehicles: they seemed not to be available completely for everyone yesterday but they are today.
image thumb15 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! As explained in the forums there is now also a new "Make A Wish!" button. Which is handy :

- pressing the button takes you to a special wish list screen:

image thumb16 FarmVille French Theme and Mystery Animal Box number 2 and Wishlist and Dogs coming! The Wish List button takes you to the gift pages the first time where you can press "click to wish" to get it on your wishlist, which also lets you publish it on your feed.
