Stealing Magnolias Book giveaway

You know that when a book has such a romantic and dreamy name as Stealing Magnolias: Tales from a New Orleans Courtyard, it has to be good. And when you find out that its part love letter and part scrapbook that illustrates the story of its author Debra Shriver finding and restoring a beautiful house in the French Quarter of New Orleans’ just two months after Hurricane Katrina, you know you have to have it.

Stealing Magnolias is an enchanting book full of lush images by more than 20 photographers and artists that highlight food, interiors, architecture and much more.

    Oh my! What a treat!

    New Orleans is a city like no other, and I adore the romance, whimsy and daring of the interiors and vignettes featured in "Stealing Magnolias." Nero's not usually lucky in chance, but it's worth a shot, methinks.
    Cheers, Alcira

    What a beautiful cover, magnolias are among my favourite blooms. No need to enter me – books are expensive to mail abroad.

    I love the colours Debra has used throughout the house. The lavender in the living room and the blue in the bedroom is beautiful (as is that gorgeous duvet on the bed). I especially like the fact that she bought a lot of things for the house from New Orleans itself, to help the economy. That's true love.
