Let's Go Christmas Shopping.... For Books! Part I: For the Fashionable


Let’s Go Christmas Shopping… For Books!
Put the kettle on.  Grab another log for the fire and sharpen your pencil.

Nothing more personal, nothing more special.

For Your Grandmother
She never made you cookies, but she’d bring you back macaroons from Laduree every April.  When she spoke of Coco, you knew she didn’t mean chocolate.  She was the grandmother who took you to museums and introduced you to Charlie Parker and Debussy.   Not only did she buy you your first pair of stilettos, she taught you to how to walk in them.  There are always white roses in her parlor, the fragrance of espresso in her kitchen, and a book of Baudelaire at her bedside.  She’ll adore any one of these books.

PS.  A sincere thanks to all those who jumped at

You have kept the elves at The House of Edward very busy.
The deal is done, but you can still find the book HERE.

  3. Pamela,
    I hope you will post recommendations for children's books. We bought one of your suggestions one Christmas for our granddaughter and the whole family loves it. I want my hat back by Jon Klassen is a favorite.
    Thanks,
    Karen

  4. I didn't know about the ETRO book. They, of course, are Italian and one of my favorites. Did you know they began as a fine fabric house? Anyway, I'm getting this one for ME. And from the sound of it your grandmother was much like mine, my Mom-Mom, the brighted, wittiest, most intelligent woman I ever knew, an inspiration for me even now, though she's been gone since the 1970's. Happy Holidays, darling, to all of you....
