Links I Love Week 40: Year 2025

This week, I popped into POSH one of my favorite Chicago retailers to sign books! POSH is a Francophile dream with French gift items, antiques, and books. They have been on my dream wish for retailers and I am so happy they ordered the book. Henri and I stopped by and signed copies. I am working on his pawtograph stamp. If you are in Chicago, you can purchase a book here. Tell the team I say hello. They are all just the sweetest.

For those looking for signed copies, you can also buy on my website. I have a few available and should be getting more in. The books make a great gift for the Francophile.
