Book Announcement
This is such an exciting announcement for me. If you don’t know, I am a book author, and my book French Accents debuted September 8th, 2015.
Because you are the most amazing, incredibly supportive friends I could possibly have, the book has been a best-seller for my publisher. And they asked me to do a second edition of my book. It never occurred to me that they would ask me to revise it. I turned everything in this fall for the second edition.
And now my book is once again out of stock. The bad news is that if you never got the first edition, it’s too late. They are not going to print any more. I personally only have 2 copies of my book left. (I gave away 2 of the 4 I had this last week.)
But the wonderful news is you can buy the second edition of my book right now. It’s in pre-sales now and will be available in March 2018.
What’s different? The book size is being increased a few inches for one. I’ve also added about 80 new photos, many of which I’ve not shown on my blog before.
Finally I’ve added a tutorial for a drop cloth bedspread. I spent about $40 to make this bedspread and the pillow shams. It’s all in the book. This dropcloth version looks almost exactly like linen even in person.
I’ve also added a new section on shopping at the Round Top Antique Show and I’ve expanded the section on adding Farmhouse French items to your home.

Yay Anita! I have an autographed copy of your first book which I display proudly on my coffee table. Is your second book a revised version of the first or a whole different book altogether? Isn’t it great that your publisher came to you and asked for another book? That is such a rarity. Does that mean you don’t have to do a book launch on this one? Because if you do, I’d be proud to be a member of your book launch team. While I’m plugging away at my own book (who knows if it will ever come to fruition) I’m passionate about supporting other writers.
Excited for you!

Patricia, yes I’ll email you later!!! To answer your question, it’s the same book, but it’s updated.

Anita, after I read this, I went to Amazon.com and they still have your book available. I ordered it one. What a decorating “coup” that your book is a best-seller! Congratulations. I read your post every time you post a new one.
Thanks Sherry! You’ll be getting the second edition!!!
Congratulations on the second edition! I look forward to buying a copy.
Great news about your new book, Anita! I’ll be ordering one!
Congrats! So VERY happy for you, Anita! Wonderful work! (eBay has some listings of the first edition, but definitely higher price than the new one!)
I’ve had a pile of fabric sitting in my bedroom for ages because I planned to make bedding similar to yours. Now that I know there’s a tutorial in your book, I think I can wait a couple more months for the book to come out before I try to sew it:) Looking forward to the second edition!
Hi Anita,
Congratulation on the book! I never read the 1st one, so am looking forward to this revised edition. Is there a link from your website to pre-order, or would you like us to go straight to Amazon?
Keli, there’s a link in the post, but you can use this one, thanks! http://amzn.to/2ATtqva
