Temptation

 I'm sorry, there's no fighting it, I just can't... I'm slipping into Christmas gift mode as of now, despite the Autumn sunshine shining so brightly here in the South of France.

I'm weak, I know, but I cannot resist the temptation to share.

 So, todays special find comes from a lovely, colourful French online shop called Saison. If you've never visited it before you're in for a treat. Not only will you find beautiful prints by artists such as the much-loved Alain Grée but also toys, stationery and vintage finds. There's plenty to choose from and Chacha's store is now in English, so there's absolutely no excuse for not taking a peek!

 I have just fallen in love with Audrey Jeanne's brand new colouring book about Rudolphe the Cat. Forty pages of beautiful, simple drawings by one of my favourite  French artists/illustrators, and yours for only 7 EUR!

Happy Browsing!

Noel à Paris

If you are lucky enough to be in Paris this weekend and you're still looking for something handmade, original or just plain chic for Christmas, why not visit the Kids and the City market for some last minute shopping.

Held at the Musée en Herbe (17-19Dec. 10am - 6pm), this is the first event of its kind, bringing together a wonderful selection of French kid-centric artists, designers and makers. If the beautiful Alain Grée poster is anything to go by, this will be a winner. Attention ! You won't come away empty handed!
