    It's Friday, it's the middle of summer AND it is T It's Friday, it's the middle of summer AND it is This & That Day on the blog where we are greeted with oodles of peonies. Grab your favorite Cuppa and start to explore ⤵️

With France celebrating Le Quatorze Juillet next week, you will find quite a few Francophile Finds – primarily books and in many different genres. Also, three films – one based on a true story, another to tug at the heartstrings, and the other to take you on a wild ride with two great (and fearless) female leads. An Australian female sleuth returns, a favorite American cook takes us on his travels to four favorite global destinations, and you’ll also find summer clothing, some on sale and others wonderful for layering and taking us to the beach as well as into autumn due to its versatility. Still, there is more!

Monet's words ⤵️
"Every day I discover
more and more
beautiful things.
It’s enough to drive one mad.
I have such a desire
to do everything,
my head is bursting with it."

To be released on Tuesday August 25th, watch this reel to discover more about exactly what the book is all about. Join me (and Nelle 🐾) in my garden @lepapillon  and discover why I wanted to share this book with you. 

What I forgot to mention in this video is that in each seasonal chapter, there will also be a "Cozying In" section sharing details décor ideas for turning your home into a nourishing sanctuary for creating your masterpieces as well as living a life you love each and every day throughout the entire year.

More about the book 📖⤵️

A significant component of successfully creating or learning anything new involves understanding how the process works. 

Each of us has masterpieces within us. They may be tangible in form, such as traditional art - a painting, an invention, or a novel, or they could be the glimmers of a concept, ideas entertained but as of yet not embraced, skills waiting to be honed and put into practice, wondering if we will find the courage to share them with the world - a business brainchild, a leadership role, parenting skills, even attaining with proficiency a new language or skills to design artisan furniture, a cottage garden or an inviting website. The list is infinite, and no masterpiece is too small or unconventional when it comes to what a masterpiece can be, so long as it fits two criteria: intrinsic to our true self, and our willingness to set it free beyond our control upon completion. 

Whether ordering directly from me or through Amazon (global availability), all orders will arrive by the release date 🍁 September 15,2026.

Available in hardback, paperback, audio and ebook when released.
