They are so beautiful while they sleep, I don’t dare to wake them up…
Technically they’re not asleep, but I just can’t part with them yet.
…we sat on the pont neuf, watched the tour eiffel sparkle, and kissed.
Yes, we were in Paris for the weekend.
please press the play button below to listen to this incredibly beautiful version of ne me quitte pas. It says its sung by Edith Piaf but this song was never sung by Edith as far as we know, and French Boy and I can’t figure out who sings this one but I adore it.

…which i found while wandering between ateliers. How fabulous would this be as a wall hanging?
This is a new book from The Little Bookroom that was also released a couple of weeks ago. It’s called The Flea Markets of France and is a great guide for finding fabulous brocantes around the country. I was asked to create the cover! That’s my handiwork you see above. I collected things that I had bought at brocantes, and lay them out on an old pretty map of France. The fab book design team at The Little Bookroom made the label for the title. What do you think?
In more exciting news, both my book Paris: Made By Hand and this one, The Flea Markets of France were featured in the latest issue of British House & Garden magazine, with special mention about the covers!
The article reads “The covers of most travel guides are predictably pedestrian…so when you come across jackets as charmingly whimisical as those of Paris: Made By Hand and The Flea Markets of France, you foresee something different, more personal, within them.”
I’m chuffed to bits…
