Moulin Rouge Art-ccordion Picture Book

Here's my new Art-ccordion Picture Book 'Moulin Rouge'. I love the cover of this one! It is covered with a beautiful Japanese paper and coated with a glossy resin finish. Set in the resin are coral pink vintage flowers.
We honeymooned in Paris so it is an extra special place for us. This book harks back to the hay days for the Moulin Rouge.




Inside the back cover hangs a tiny silver coloured key.

Have a lovely weekend!

one of my favourites....

I have just finished reading this book - again. I'm not sure how many times I've read it now but every time I pick up on different elements in there. It is a truly delicious read! Since becoming a mum I find I get precious little time to curl up with a book - something I crave as I love to read - but I stole time for this book. I read it while I rocked my son to sleep at all hours of the night, I even set off early to pick my daughter up from nursery so I could take my book and cram in a few minutes:)

It's written by the author of 'Chocolat', it's not so much a sequel as a return to the lives of the main characters. This is a much darker book than Chocolat, with more 'peril' and darker magic.

If you haven't tried these titles I highly recommend them. If you have only seen the film 'Chocolat'- it really goes against the grain to knock Johnny Depp and Juliet Binoche - but it pales in comparison to the book.

(Apparently in the US it has been published as 'The Girl With No Shadow'. I do think 'The Lollipop Shoes' is much more tantalising:)

Enjoy!
