paris + pia jane bijkerk + handmade things= grace’s book heaven. i was so excited to hear that pia jane bijkerk’s book, paris: made by hand, was just released! pia says:

“This is a book for lovers of all things handmade, the chic and unique, and of course Paris. In this book I take you off the tourist streets of this incredible city in search of Parisian artisans whose work is truly inspirational, and secreted studio boutiques filled with exquisite Parisian handmade treasures. I’ve been collecting these special addresses in my stylist’s little black book over the past couple of years and now with great delight, share them all with you in Paris: Made by Hand. Expect to see this fine city in a whole new light…”

i know one d*s team member who this would be perfect for so i’ll have to see if i can track down a copy in brooklyn. click here for more info and to buy online. [thanks, kristina!]
