My countdown to Paris feels as though it’s moving at a snail’s pace. I seriously needed my spirits to soar. Fortunately, my father-in-law surprised me with a copy of – My Paris Dream: An Education in Style, Slang, and Seduction in the Great City on the Seine.
I made myself a lovely cup of tea and landed on the couch with my favorite blanket. My husband likes to keep the house at minus arctic degrees, so a blanket is always needed in our house.
This book was just the ticket I needed. If I can’t be in Paris in 2016, then I will jet off to Paris circa 1980’s – via Kate Betts.
If you have a love affair with Paris or fashion – this is a must read. You will experience the highs and lows of Kate’s turbulent dream of self-discovery, in the city she loves dearly. You will feel the passion in her pursuit to make it into the fashion industry.
We all have our dreams – even if Paris isn’t your dream, you will find this memoir an entertaining read. My Paris Dream is a journey on following your heart.
I have one hardcover copy of My Paris Dream from Ms. Betts for this giveaway. One $25.00 Amazon Gift Card will also be included for the lucky winner from moi.
UPDATE – The winner is Carol P. Congratulations! I have sent you an email. Thanks to everyone!
Good Luck – Bonne chance!

I don’t have a love affair with Paris, but I like your blog a lot! I am always amazed at bloggers that do giveaways and I think that is so cool! I’ve never done a giveaway before because I’m afraid one of these online crazies, like Gary, will find me because they didn’t like the gift! 😄😉
