Saw it, Loved it

I loved this movie.  After watching the trailer I thought Anne's accent would be a big problem, but for some reason her fake accent was a non-issue in the movie.  Anne was great in the role, and Jim Sturgess was so, so adorable and perfect as Dexter.  The movie reminded me of all my favorite parts in the book, and I really thought it did the book justice.  I never found myself wishing they did more with this or that scene, I always felt satisfied.  In fact, there were points in the film where I was moved to tears - not because of the nature of the scene, but because the acting was so well done.  To me, this movie was a celebration of the book.  I highly recommend you see it (and read it!). And Jim Sturgess...oh, Jim Sturgess...I'm in love.

One Line a Day

This classic memory keeper is the perfect way to track the ups and downs of life, day by day.  Each day of the year appears five times on each page, allowing users to revisit previous thoughts and memories on the same day over the span of five years as they return to each page to record the current day's events. I believe that One Line a Day is all you need to remember what mattered most. Love!

Freshly Squeezed

Color is thirst quenching, like freshly squeezed juice on ice. Take for example the KitchenAid Blender in Pear, or Anthropologie's Ikat Mini Bowls.  And to everyone's delight, Coralie Bickford's beautifully designed Clothbound Penguin Classics for Children. Standard items are made irresistible in bright, happy colors! Very refreshing.

Clothbound Classics

I have never been happier to judge a book by it's cover than when I spotted these lovely books at Chapters Indigo. But to be fair, these books have been literary classics long before the talented Coralie Bickford gave them a facelift. The Clothbound Series published by Penguin Books include classics by Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde. Available in a variety of beautiful, vivid colors and patterns, these books double as artwork on your bookshelves. Beautiful on the inside and out - they're the total package!

To snag a few color coordinated copies, head to your local Chapters Indigo, or visit Anthropologie.com to purchase online.
