Note Cards Debut at Gramercy Flowers, NY

One of the first customers for my floral note cards was Gramercy Flowers, which has three locations in Manhattan and a fourth to open soon in Dumbo. It's one of the oldest and best floral shops in New York. Last week I made my first delivery, and today I saw the cards on display. I have to say, it was quite a thrill! (I just wish they would let the cards peek out of the tin flower box a bit more…).

Book Signing in Fair Haven, NJ

On January 22, I did an author signing for my new book, To Love Paris, at River Road Books in Fair Haven, NJ. It was my first, and thanks to the fact that lots of friends and family live in the area, we had a great turn-out. I managed to sell 35 books--and two of them were actually to people I didn’t know! My sister-in-law and her family sent the pink tulips, a very nice touch that was much appreciated. And my mother treated everyone to coffee and hot chocolate at the cafe next door. (I think she was more excited than I was.) Thanks to everybody who came and to the wonderful women who own River Road Books!
