Little feet

I have a new obsession. Any spare moment I have I spend knitting booties. Baby booties. For darling little babies.  I am determined to knit my way through this lovely new book Baby Booties: Eighteen pretty pairs to knit by Caroline de Hugo. Surely the most stylish booties book to come out for some time, this book is jam-packed with exquisite little footwear for babies. If you like knitting and want a little project or two, then I suggest you hunt this sweet book down.

Baby booties: Eighteen pretty pairs to knit by Caroline de Hugo
P.S. I promise to be back next week with book club, because finally I am reading an amazing book. (I've had an amazing book drought of late, hallelujah it's over now). Watch this space.

And then this one comes along ....Pia Jane Bijkerk

In my last post, I commented on the plethora of books about antipodean renovating adventures in France. I think, despite my never-ceasing love of all things french, my interest in books chronicling other people's experiences was starting to wane.  And then this amazing book arrived at the library for me - My Heart Wanders by Pia Jane Bijkerk. It's soooo beautiful. I read it over a couple of nights, (despite its size and weight I couldn't put it down), and now I can't stop thinking about it.  Pia, a successful interior stylist and blogger , takes a brave step into the unknown when she gives up her life in Australia to follow her heart to Paris, and then on to a houseboat in Amsterdam.  It is such a tender, heartfelt memoir. It has the feel of a personal journal, enhanced by a wonderfully crafted dynamic: the reader joins her on her journey, and watches as her new love, new life, and career beautifully unfold.  Not only is it an insp...

The Paris Wife

I finished The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain, over a week ago, but every time I think of it my throat constricts, my eyes get smudgy, and I realise I'm still a little bit heartbroken. The story, written as fiction, and told in the voice of Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife, is based on known facts about their relationship. It's a love story, but as far as love stories go, it's pretty devastating. Hadley and Ernest meet at a party in Chicago, when he is only 21, and she six years older. Each carrying sadnesses and baggage, they fall in love. They marry and move to Paris, where, spurred on by new friends such as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein, Hemingway begins to make tentative steps towards fiction writing. They become parents, he becomes famous, and they come apart. I cried. x Library Girl PS I feel abit guilty. I got a recommendation for this book from a friend, and rushed out to get it from the library. Somehow, in doing so, I actually p...
