This Book is La Merde!

I do wonder if the English translation of "La Merde" is equivalent to the American slang for "the best". I doubt it, but that's totally what I meant by it. For anyone out there who is as fascinated by Parisian culture as I am will appreciate having this next book as a hollow book safe.





In the Merde for Love follows the adventures of Englishman Paul West as an expat in France.
What is the best way to scare a gendarme? Is it really polite to sleep with your boss’s mistress? And why are there no public health warnings on French nude beaches? Paul discovers how to judge a French vacationer by the rustiness of his bicycle; opens his English tearoom; and finally understands why Parisian waiters are so cranky.

The hollow book is now available at Ring Bling.

Women come to New York for the two L's: Labels and Love

Happy holidays people! It's been a while since my last post but I'm back at it, blogging and crafting. I just put the finishing touches on my latest crop of hollow books which I plan to release on my Etsy site over the coming week. First up: as this post's title hints at, is a novel about a woman who really needs no introduction. It is she who made Manolo a household name...Ms. Carrie Bradshaw!




This book, Summer and the City, chronicles Carrie's earlier days in the Big Apple and how she came to meet two of her besties, Samantha and Miranda.

If it were Carrie, what would she keep in her hollow book? Perhaps a pack of cigarettes or her signature "Carrie" necklace? Oh the possibilities!
