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
What a FUN looking book!
ReplyDeleteI almost bot a jelly-colored plastic copy in Paris a few yrs ago...closest I ever got to a B bag
Sounds lovely! Must be a good read. Have a delightful weekend, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteRead it and loved it, literally couldn't put it down! So fascinating...

ReplyDeleteBonjour 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)
ReplyDeleteI will have to read this! The cover is enticing.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend, Vicki.

My husband is taking me out today to shop and I am rushing to see if I can find your books at Barnes and Noble!
