Last Friday it so happens I was in John Lewis, only to accompany my sister in her 'what to wear to Nancy's wedding' shopping. While she was paying for whatever it was she had come there for, I (like an ADHD toddler) began perusing for distractions to amuse myself. Not by luck I believe, I was standing by a book stand and not long after realising I saw this beauty of a book pulling at my heart things (shiny, pretty, hummingbird and blossom tree things) I didn't bother looking inside. Instead, impulsively, I picked it up and strode to the cashiers counter knowing full well I was going to buy it regardless of whether it was a cleverly disguised book of Quantum Physics or a Book of Uglies (whatever that may be).

The quality was a little off so I asked for another copy and while she sent for another copy I examined what seemed like a gold bar with spills of pictures...as if luck could not be any more ripe the title reads: THE GODDESS EXPERIENCE / Gisele Scanlon. What what what...I'd like to think I'm a Goddess, oh what coincidence. Then to find that inside is a party of pretty little sketches and illustrations, tea cups and cupcakes, birds and flowers, luxury, Vivienne Westwood, food, travel, beauty, shopping and best of all a journey to 'Paris'! Further inspection told me there was a strong fashion orientation and it is the best bits of this particular ladies diary and address book. It was then I slightly shrieked with delight because I could do more than just look at it (phew). Right at this point of realisation the very pleasant cashier informed me that this was the only copy (wait for it, wait for it...) and with that she sweetly and slowly reduces it to a more attractive jus de sale...BOUGHT!
