Btilke, I love Nicole Farhi's women's collections and in one of my "house Porn" books on Provence is her beautiful modern home there.

I found a cardigan that's about the same price as the store credit, so will probably get that. Although I would like to see her Home store, as the store credit would be good there as well. She has a new fragrance line out, it's nice and light.
Speaking of Provence (going OT here, sorry!), one of my friends would like to come over this year and visit Provence...we're thinking of staying here: http://www.letresorcache-luberon.com/ any thoughts? (web site available in French only). Go to "visitez" and scroll on the little pictures at the right to see them enlarged. Looks really nice (and not expensive); the woman who runs the place seems interesting...a Belgian divorcee who renovated the mas pretty much on her own.

Divertimenti doesn't carry it. They're cutting down on their Bodum selection, according to the salesclerk I spoke with. I also asked if it could be special ordered and was told that during the Christmas shopping season, nothing can be special ordered that they don't already carry. After Christmas, maybe, but was told to go to the Bodum store. FYI, Notting Hill is fairly central London or at most a short trip by Tube, so perhaps that's your surest bet. But I will still check the King's Road shop tomorrow.

If you want to make coffee in your room, try ordering a travel bodum press. Here is a link.

I have a 3 cup off-brand press that I found at Tuesday Mornings for $6. The handle feel off after several months, but I still use it daily.

Well, it was a no-go on Kings Road. Didn't see one in any of the places I checked, including the Habitat store, which carries the Chambord, Kenya and Belgian Filtre models. Unless someone else tracks one down, perhaps you'll have to go to Notting Hill.

It was a nice afternoon hunting though. Got a sweater at Farhi with my store credit, wandered around, had an early dinner, and just got home...

Thank you so much BTilke. Notting Hill it will be then, and amazon.uk if that fails.

Also thank you for the alternate source for a 3-cupper PalmettoPrincess

And thanks to all who helped out on this thread. I've learned so much!
