Marie is not only a wonderfully talented artist but also a dear friend and a very generous person - she gave me this amazing, delicate necklace...
It's fig season!
I contributed an article (in French) to an
anthology of English literature that has just come out. The reason why I'm excited about this is because, to the best of my knowledge, it's the very first time that my dear Nancy Mitford is included in a comprehensive anthology of Brit lit. I hope that she ends up getting the respect her work should earn her - not as chick-lit forerunner but as supremely witty author, the granddaughter of Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde.

thanks for mentioning me! im glad you like it :)
Congrats!!!
Beautiful necklace!
I have just finished a book,Un chino en bicicleta, que es buenisimo y estaba eligiendo con que sigo, tengo uno de Nancy Mitford hace años pero nunca lo leí.
Creo que lo empiezo esta noche.
Ay, cuando mezclo 2 idiomas es que estoy cansada.
Si algún día decidieras leer Un chino en bicicleta por favor hacelo en español.
Gano un premio y para mi es excelente pero como es gracioso, hay críticos que lo desmerecen,mentes chiquititas.
I hope an English translation is available soon, because I would definitely like to read it. Congratulations on getting published, Mary-Laure!
The necklace indeed looks very delicate - I can't quite make out what it is made of.
Congrats on getting published - wonderful for you.
Thanks for visiting my site!
the fig looks delicous!
great success to you!
i had to laugh--thinking Oscar Wilde would have something very dry and witty to say about this "offspring" etc...
all so lovely, one two three and a new author on a reading list for me..
(Bo Peep, is indeed, for Halloween!)
well done for publishing the article. I will try and find more info on Nancy Mitford, curious now...
thanks for sharing and have a great week!

well i did not know that about Nancy Mitford! i've read her but it escapes me what it was...
congratulations on your publication, and on speaking/writing French, something i aspire to do. such a beautiful language.
i love your page. :)
KARINA - thanks for the recommendation; what's the name of the author?
I feel exactly the same, cuando empiezo a mezclar los idiomas hablo un cocktail muy unico y raro!
JOANNA & BITTERBETTY - thanks! In the meantime, you can read Mitford's novels - "The Pursuit of Love" is a good place to start.
CARLETTA - I'm not sure, it's a kind of thread/yarn. I'll have to ask Marie.
félicitations Mary-Laure :)
I've read both The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate. I now dream of meeting a dashing duke in a Paris train station.
Congratulations on your article! :-)
congratulations!~
and i too love nancy mitford.
and beautiful necklace...
Congratulations on being published!! And yeah, that fig looks amazing...
JOANNA - if you want more of Fanny and Uncle Matthew et al, I HIGHLY recommend "Don't Tell Alfred". It's set in Paris and really quite excellent. Fanny's boys will make you laugh out loud. A classic.
mmmm, that FIG!
You have the unique ability to capture beauty in the everyday simplicity that surrounds us. Just lovely.
the necklace is stunning...and that fig looks so yummy...
Congratulations on being published - though it is not the first time.
That neck "lace" is very pretty.
mmmm, figs are wonderful things!

Lovely necklace, and how wonderful to be published!

nancy
ooo and now i just read that you have already been published: ok sweetie...do tell!
nancy
es un collar estupendo y tan delicado....
Such beautiful photos. But I'm shocked to read Oscar Wilde had a granddaughter! ;-) x
KITTY - I think HE would be shocked too...
NANCY - the book can be found on Amazon.fr, by clicking on the link in the post.
But it's REALLY not worth buying. I can send you a Word doc with my text if you want, just don't tell the publisher, he he he...
Congrats dear...much success to you!
The only piece that was published for me was in a school newspapers years ago... & it had a big typo! hee* The necklace is lovely & so delicate indeed...
;)
that's wonderful (the article) and beautiful (the necklace). congratulations, Mary-Laure! what exciting news!

Congratulations on the anthology! I hope to see more of your work published in future...!
Congratulations on getting your article published! And in French too! Such a wonderful achievement :)
Congratulations for the anthology Mary-Laure !!
i think you're actually the one who made me discover Nancy Mitford
:-)
Uncle Matthew is one of the funniest characters I've ever come across in literature; he reminds me a lot of Emma Woodhouse's father. Haven't read "Don't Tell Alfred", but I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the rec!
Congratulations on your article! That is very very cool!
Ah, figs...mmmmmm!
oh congratulations on the publication Mary-Laure! I'll raise a glass of wine for you :)
Lovely necklace and CONGRATS!!
