Words cannot describe how I feel to be able to finally share this with you my dear readers. It has been a moment I have been waiting for for so long. And without warning, the news of its impending arrival was sprung upon me today in the most beautiful of ways – I received an email from the owner of a gorgeous boutique in California letting me know that she just received a stack of my books that she had on order and loved it so much that she had to email me to let me know. Thank you dear Michele, your email made my day.
So, without further ado, I want you all to know that my very first book is available in all good bookstores around the world right …now.
Wow. I can’t believe I can finally write that.
I promise I will show and tell more about the book very soon (you know I have so much to show + tell!!!) but for now, please click here to read all about it, and to purchase your copy.

oh dear. i’m not sure i can sleep now.
Yay! I received my copy in the mail yesterday (I pre-ordered!) and read it in one sitting. It’s so lovely, Pia. I was actually just flipping through it for the second time before I saw your post. I’m planning a trip to Paris next spring, and I can’t wait to roam the streets with this in hand. Congrats to you!

Thank you everyone!!! Wow, I am so so pleased to hear that you will all be ordering one or have already purchased a copy! Yay!!
I’m so excited to be able to finally tell you all about it, i don’t even know where to start! this project has been such a big part of my life.
and yes josephine, the city is PUMPING!! I’m rather too tired to be out partying with the rest of amsterdam, but French Boy and I did take a little wander around the streets earlier and nothing can describe the feeling of this city at this time!! It’s the most amazing buzz.
Thank you again everyone! I do hope you like the book! I have really been keeping secret these amazing artists and boutiques in Paris for so long, so that when you get the book you will find many many places in there that you will have never heard about – I wanted to pack in as much inspiration as possible!!
