French-American General Store Shopping with Landline

At the very end of 2021, one of the highlights was getting to meet a whole new batch of readers when I did a book signing for The New Parisienne at the home goods store Landline which I discovered during the lowest moments of Covid. This is in the 11th arrondissement which is an area I know intimately. The French American owner Caroline Morrison opened the doors to her nostalgic general store at the end of 2020 and has become, like the most charming independent bookstores and thoughtfully designed toy stores of yesteryear, a space I not only feel joy being in but can also feel good about buying from.

The news review thinks beyond Covid.

The news review thinks beyond Covid. Will clothing become more formal? Why not own our odour after Covid? Plus, can we demand that storms be given French names and not names as ordinary as Dudley and Eunice? Petite Frite airs powerful views.

How we faked our way into a Paris fashion show… in the 1980s

I was astonished to hear an early Paris story from my Swedish father-in-law, which involved a blue tie, a Montmartre bartender, and a cunning plot to get into a Paris fashion show – all to impress his wife Ann-Louise. I turned on the microphone and Jakob shared the full story with us all. Here it is below, followed by a bunch of pictures from that fateful trip in the mid-1980s. Listen now on the Earful Tower.

Listen to Petite Frite, the news review as sweeping as a game of curling.

This week we ask: does money talk? Or is it the opposite? It all seems fun and games to us – the Winter Olympics and more. Plus, is Brexit a gamble? And can you be guaranteed an electric car charger when you need one? We slalom some headlines. Will you?
