A gift for grown-ups: a PAUMES book to devour at Christmas
The gift of a book at Christmas has always been enough to make me happy, even as a child. Christmas is a time when I like nothing better than curling up in a chair with a book or two to peruse. With mince pies and a warming drink to hand, of course. The more visuals to devour the better.
PAUMES books are a perfect pressie for those who are into interiors and photography and also like to peek into the lives of other creative families.
We currently have 4 PAUMES titles in stock:
The Parent's Love-Chiselled Gifts for their Tiny Ones - showing the things that have been inspired by having children. It seems that expecting a child or becoming a parent stimulates creative energies within families, and PAUMES hve gathered them together in this beautiful book. £16.40
Paris Brocante - A guide to Paris's flea markets, antique dealers, vintage outlets and charity shops! The passionate owners and managers of these shops dedicate their lives to seeking out the treasures of their trade and putting together the ultimate collection which PAUMES has photographed for our vintage appetites! £20.40
Chambres D'Enfant - The first book in PAUMES chambres d'enfants collection took place in place in Paris They visited 20 creator's families and photographed the rooms of 30 children aged between 1 to 15 years old. This is a book full of tenderness and smiles, that brims with inspiration. £20.40
Children's Rooms - Paris - The second exploration of children's rooms in Paris. Filled with tranquillity or a vibrant energy, tidy like a museum or happily topsy-turvy, a vast space or the size of a doll's house - children's bedrooms have one point in common: tenderness. £20.40

The Art of Living: Taschen's London, Paris, New York
These Taschen books have been on my wishlist for some time and today I had the opportunity to peek at them in the Taschen Bookstore on the Duke of York Square, just off the Kings Road (right next to the Saatchi Gallery). It was a very brief look inside, as I was with my sticky-lolly-hands-son and the two don't really mix!
They have wonderful illustrations. I love how London is depicted with a baby-faced Jamie Oliver:
And New York...well, say no more, such an amazing city. I've only been there in the freezing cold for a January birthday many moons ago with Carla (who herself has been many times). There's so much to see and do...and the shopping! The Taschen book includes a map guide:
Each book is a guide to the charming, modern and cool places to sleep, eat, drink and shop in the capital cities. All amazingly photographed:
These books are large at 23.8 x 30.2 cm, so they are not meant to be pocket city guides. They are to have on your bookshelf at home to peruse, plan and dream.
They are edited by Angelika Taschen who sounds like she has quite an amazing career: She studied art history and German literature in Heidelberg, gaining her doctorate in 1986. Working for TASCHEN from 1987 to 2010, she has published numerous titles on art, architecture, photography, design, travel, and lifestyle.
The books are available from Taschen here
For more visual inspiration for interiors in different cities the Edition Paumes series of books are full of beautiful images - have a browse here
This is part of our Art of Living posts that bring you all the things we are passionate about and the things we discover in our lives as mamas and beyond.

Paris of course conjours up the glamour of the cafes and brasserie life:
