New Book Alert and a Christmas giveaway!



Aussies, Hear ye! Hear ye! A fabulous new book has just arrived on the market that ALL Aussie francophiles should own. This beautiful handbook is filled with all the French food, wine and design places you need to know about to live your best French life in Australia.

With an abundance of glorious colour photo's, this book will become your new bible. This book would also make a wonderful gift for travellers.

If you have a French based buisness in Australia and you'd like to be featured in future copies you can email your details here!

Once again sincerest apologies for my poor photography but the images in this book are divine.





.........



To coincide with the worldwide release of "Australia" as well as being the season of giving I thought I'd put together a little package to give away with a distinctly Aussie flavour :)



Australian Vintage Living by Bronnie Masefau is definately a favourite, the large glossy photo's are filled with colour and detail.



This book is filled with wonderful vintage inspiration.




Mz Masefau's home is absolutely beautiful.




Plenty of eye candy for the girly girl in all of us.









I also thought I'd include a very popular stocking filler for most country loving Aussie's, The Australian Country Style calender 2009.



The images are simple and beautiful. This calender wont be a bold statement but a subtle sweet accent.







Of course I'm definately including a copy of this new fabulous book.



And for a little added extra I thought I'd throw in this little sweet Koala Christmas ornament



He's tiny but he looks real! Well I think so anyway lol.




No matter whether you are in Australia or Siberia if you would like to win these wonderful items just leave a comment with a link to your blog and I'll draw a name out of a hat on sunday.

GOOD LUCK!



p.s Happy Thanksgiving my American blogging pals!

pp.s Brooke, I received my bottle of Cote Bastide bubble bath the other day and that evening enjoyed the best soak of my life :) Thank you!

Villa Anna said...

I'm sorry A-M I didn't mean to set any standards, I just thought I may only have an annual giveway and I couldn't decide between the two books hence including both. Your kind generosity most certainly exceeds mine.

Anna :)

I just love travel books, and Australia is definitely one my list of places to see sooner than later...and last year I spent a week trekking around France and fell in love. This new book sounds just wonderful! And thank you - I am absolutely stuffed from yesterday's Thanksgiving feast at my parents home in Virginia, USA.

Oh, I must enter! I lived in Adelaide when I was 16 (about 35 yrs ago)and LOVED it! I've been back 3 times since. So, due to my love of Oz, anything French and vintage finds, I would SO love to be a winner! I've been visiting your blog for a few months and its one of my daily reads.
