a fun 'french' read to add to the chistmas stocking...


Thinking, thinking, thinking of gift ideas... I suddenly remembered this little gem... Bringing Home the Birkin... a cute and funny tale for all us girly Francophiles... you will love it... I might just have to put one in my own stocking... UK and European readers can find it here...

For my other French favourites have a browse here or here...

Back to the gift wrapping...  and I promise not to interrupt the weekend anymore...xv

  5. Bonjour Vicki-- Funny! I wrote a story about Hermes and the Birkin bag two weeks ago, and am offering the Michael Tonello book this week in my Giveaway to celebrate Le Blog's first anniversary. It ends tomorrow by the way! You and I think alike ;-) Bon weekend, Vicki. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
