UPDATE! As a few have asked, here are the links to these books-
Apartements d'amoureux a paris
and
Children's rooms London
From there you can link through to many more of these horrifyingly wonderful little books.
Well, how can a girl not feel cheered up with these two books coming in the mail? (click for a bigger view) I can't seem to resist them and these ones are as good as ever. They must be hot off the presses too because I see a few current IKEA things in some of the rooms! That and this amazing email I received yesterday-

Hello Tania:
Just thought that you might be instersted that I found one of your
buttons (this one -- the M/F 'waterdroplets' holding hands) today on one of
my power walks.
I'm in the boonies of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.
Found the button along the edge of the road. Turned it over
and there was your web site. Just took a look there. Nice stuff and nice
light lyrical approach to your art. Thanks for cheering up my day a
bit.
No need tor respond, just thinking you might be intrigued about the
location of your found pin! Take care.

Wow!! How on earth did one of my buttons get all the way out there! It is something to puzzle over. Of course I did respond and give many thanks for letting me know. I love odd tales like this especially when they apply to me.
Have a great weekend!
What a great story Tania. Your buttons must be travelling the world spreading good cheer!

Maybe it just goes to show that when you're feeling down, soon after some news comes along to give you purpose again! Yay for your lovely creations.

good pitching arm)

what a wonderful email!

it's a small world. i just got the Crafter's Companion in the mail from Amazon.co.uk and thought how many of the people in it I feel I know. I know your styles and names and a lot about you, and then I noticed a postcard that I made here in Sweden in collage on a buletin board, yours Tania!
What a small world it has become.

Wow! What a great email! I was thinking maybe it was me that lost the pin, but its impossible because when I was in N.Scotia, I was on the east side, not in the valley, and plus, I never had one of those waterdroplet buttons...I guess I'm not the culprit. All of this also indicates that it is marketing-savvy-smart of you to put your URL on your items! Who knows where they will end up!

that's a crazy button story! How nice for that person to e-mail you and let you know! Random!

Oh dear, I had been holding out from going to the bookstore, but those two books look really good. I might not be able to resist.
That is a great quirky story about your button.

Those books look fantastic! Where did you order them from? And i think that the letter you got is just lovely - what a sweet thing to do.

Hi Tania,
Just wondering how you managed to order the 2 Jue de Paume books, I tried contacting them through their website before, as the books look amazing, but they don't have paypal facility or anything for payment?
Posted by: Lynda | March 28, 2007 at 07:24 AM
I love how your badges are travelling the world. It reminds me of letting a balloon fly away with contact details on and then hoping someone will find it. Or a message in a bottle. :-)

Lovely books. I was wondering what the ISBN numbers for them were so I can get them myself. Thanks!
