Une soirée extraordinaire


If you know anything about my time in Paris, you know about my girl Mel. She's exceptional. Extraordinary. One of a kind. I love her.

She and the wonderful Sophie Berdah of Le Citizen hotel, with support and unrivaled enthusiasm from Gaela Fernández, hosted a little soirée to celebrate the launch of Paris, My Sweet last night. It was... perfect.


It was filled with friends.






Great sweets.


Even magical moments. This couple had read A Paris Farewell last spring. Marked Le Citizen as a hotel for their next trip to Paris. Brought the article with them. Were reading it in their room, when they came downstairs to discover, voila, the hotel was hosting a book party by the very same girl who wrote the article. C'est fou.

I offered a clumsy but heartfelt reading.

It was just one of those nights. One of those only-in-Paris, happier-than-ever, so profoundly grateful and elated nights.


Thank you everyone who was there at Le Citizen and there in spirit!

  5. Congrats on a beautiful, beautiful party. And the serendipity of meeting some fans not in the know, too! Lots of things just seem meant to be. Especially in Paris, for some reason...

  10. Congratulations on your publication!

    I discovered you via a book review on CobbleStay.com's blog. (http://www.cobblestay.com/blog/2012/04/book-review-paris-my-sweet-by-amy-thomas/)

    I love the cover art and your content seems interesting. I'll keep an eye out for your book.

    All the best,
    Meghan

  11. طباعة استيكر شفاف هي أداة فعّالة وجذابة للترويج والإعلان عن المنتجات والعلامات التجارية، حيث توفر مظهرًا أنيقًا ومُدمجًا مع السطح الذي تُستخدم عليه. تتميز بالمرونة في الاستخدام والتطبيق، وتعتبر مثالية للأماكن التي تحتاج إلى مظهر نظيف واحترافي، مثل المحلات، المكاتب، السيارات، والمنتجات التعبئة والتغليف. والألوان المطبوعة على الاستيكر الشفاف قد تبدو أقل كثافة أو حيوية عند لصقها على خلفيات داكنة، لذلك يجب مراعاة اختيار الألوان بعناية.
