FIFI'S BOOK REVEALED

I couldn't reveal much about the book until now but I have been given permission to post the cover so here you go, at last!

Of course I can't post the contents but at least now you know what it's about.

I hope you like!!

It can be pre-order on Amazon (NOT FROM ME)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=romantic+prairie+style&x=0&y=0

I do want to thank everyone for the many encouragements and lovely comments I received while working on the book and I hope to get to meet many of you when I go on book signing tours in the spring.

And keep in mind that without Mark Lohman's photography the book would not be half as nice. "A picture is worth a thousand words!"

Thank you dear Mark for all your artistry, for putting up with me in spite of the tough schedule I put you through and for maintaining such a wonderful composure and your "to-die" for sense of humor.

Oh, and thanks for teaching to enjoy a martini now and then! One could get use to this dangerous potion....but as long as it's only for medicinal purposes--like sore feet, blisters and/or a case of the blues.....well....I won't abuse it! In fact the last one I had was in Ione, California, at that diner we found late one night! And that was back in July. I am definitvly due for another one! What a life!! 

I am so looking to doing book 2 with you! SERIOUSLY!

Of course I would be much appreciative if, as we say down South (yea, even me, a French girl) "YOU ALL" would be so kind to mention the book on your respective blogs. You can use these photos too! Hey even a skinny girl -AND her cats- have to eat so the more book I can sell the  more tuna I can buy for the kitties.

LOTS OF LOVE TO ALL! COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT ANY OF YOU. 

YOU GIRLS ROCK!!!

Hi Fifi, you have no idea how much I've anticipated your book. I've lurked and stalked your lovely blog for ages. I have my own now, Oh, don't go there it's hideous! haha! But this I know, there is a reason they call you "fabulous fifi" ;) I cannot wait, and I will be buying, this incredible book. From what I saw, you feature a few homes from my local area, and I just love peeking through their tours. Thank you, honestly for making the book. My husband recently asked me what I want for our anniversary, my suggestions were a white, all white dutch oven (romantic eh) and your book. bisou, tami from the high street cottage
