Bits & Bobs
I bought the last copy of Les Fleurs by Louise Bourgeois in the Fondation Louis Vuitton gift shop as a birthday present for a friend who’s been painting a lot. While researching the book, I came across an image of all the prints mounted together and had an aha moment—I want to do that too. So I spent several days scouring other museum gift shops in hopes of finding more copies. On my way into the Grand Palais to see Matisse: 1941 – 1954—which is superb—I hit the mother lode. I’ll post a picture when I’m done.
Tana French’s The Keeper, the final book in the fantastic Cal Hooper trilogy, is out today. I’ve put down everything else to read it. I don’t use AI to write my posts; however, every once in a while I’ll have Claude proofread for grammar and punctuation. It usually tells me all is good, and I feel like I got an A on a paper—which is sort of sad. I will not succumb, and I’ve ordered Good Writing by Neal Allen and Anne Lamott to help me stay the course. I gift a lot of books and am designing a book stamp from WMS & Co. to personalize them.
A$AP Rocky’s song Punk Rocky is so good. Winona Ryder is in the video, along with Danny Elfman on drums.
And, whenever I run into Martha Stewart in Bedford (at Pilates or Garden Club) I notice her incredible skin. I am going to give her Elm Biosciences products a test drive.

I love the book stamp idea! Brilliant!
Look forward to hearing what you think of the Elm Biosciences products. Martha has such beautiful skin!
Bits & Bobs never fails. I adore the book stamp idea. Please report back on the skincare. I’m currently giving U Beauty a try. So far, so good.
I love ASAP but could not tell you the name of a single song of his lol. But did you see him on the substitute teachers programme? (I’ve been watching the clips on IG.) Adoreable! P.S. that writing book sounds great.
I had to watch the Punk Rocky video since you mentioned it. Quite the production, but I guess I am not his target audience…I fail to see the appeal. Still curious.
One more thought on the book stamp — check out book embossers. They create a raised, ink-free impression. Chic!
A$AP Rocky was the best and funniest part of the movie, “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywFDoT7LBbQ
Thank you Laura…I watched the trailer and will definitely watch the whole movie!
Wow, Bits & Bobs is covering a lot of ground! Can’t wait to start The Keeper – almost finished with Lucien(so good). I’ve been meaning to try Martha’s skin care. Please report back on it!
The Matisse show is incredible! I went to the vernissage the night before- it was packed. And the shop it amazing! They will do very well with this exhibit. xx S
