A book of hours, what might that be?
Well, a lifetime...
That of Jacominus Gainsborough.
The leaves in the park, the rain, the low tide.
A somersault, a farewell at the port, a reunion in a garden full of stones.
A picnic, a few races and a new shade under the almond tree.
All this.
One life

Jacominus Gainsborough dreamed of going to the moon, boarded a big ship, fell in love, buried his grandmother and romped around with his children. A completely normal life – and a fulfilled one. In her enchantingly beautifully illustrated book, Rébecca Dautremer tells of the risks, adversities and moments of happiness that make our existence precious. And gently opens up the important questions of life to her young and old readers.

A wonderful store with attention to detail. Each part is carefully selected, making the shop a voyage of discovery. The individual pillows have been the best gift for birth, baptism or birthday for years, and have always accompanied my godchildren. A big recommendation for everyone who is looking for high-quality, special things. (Translated)
— Ariane E.
Wonderful shop with handpicked products. Pillows and other little things are made by hand by the boss. That has to be supported. We're always very happy to be there. (Translated)
