MY FAVORITE illustrated version is with Ernest Shepherd's sweet pen and ink sketches. It is a delightful story of FRIENDSHIP in the animal world. You must read it in the most idyllic setting you can find. We read it last night on our deck, over looking the garden with the fountain gurgling in the background. It's all about creating the atmosphere dearest!<br /><br />My other favorite DVDS are MISS POTTER. I love that story because it is about how Beatrix Potter lived a bold life to pursue her passion for storytelling. In her day, it was not easy being a single woman of a "certain age" let alone try to publish books. But the music and the little interjections of how SHE SAW life are magical and inspirational. OH DEAR,......MON DIEU, there are so many stories....<br /><br />We will learn more about each other this summer....oh fun!

He has made it a point as well to make our house look like something out of a fairy tale. But reading WIND IN THE WILLOWS or poetry keeps our imaginations riding high, just the way we like it.<br /><br />BE WELL and enjoy this fabulous day. Make your life a fairy tale with:<br /><br />KINDNESS<br />JOY<br />LOVE<br /><br />How can you go wrong with these things?<br /><br />AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819053185794399303.post-48997079910655564002012-07-23T11:32:50.861-04:002012-07-23T11:32:50.861-04:00boy Anita, I wasn't feeling too fine this morn...boy Anita, I wasn't feeling too fine this morning, but reading your words sure did put a big cheesy smile on this face! How do you do that! My heart spirit lurched and almost left my body when I read that you were doing story book reading on your new deck! how I wished I could have been there! is there any more magical pastime than that? conjuring up the imagination where beautiful ideas are born.....maybe reading around a large fire surrounded by other magical beings who create a magical world?? what AM I doing in this neck of the planet anyway! oy. <br />Yes, the southern French seem to share my souls desires. And one day, with a special guide I will make a trip there to meet some of them. I loooonnnnng so much for an artisan village, to live in one would be so much fun! ...a cross between a Renaissance Faire and Cirque du Soleil! what do you think? would you join ?? color! music! dancing! happiness! sharing! every day! :DLady of the Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394158858295264012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819053185794399303.post-17526064389554484362012-07-23T07:07:33.524-04:002012-07-23T07:07:33.524-04:00This sounds great.

I am so happy to see you have a new post, for I need to come up with a natural remedy for mosquito control!!! Last night we had a magical evening of story book reading on our new deck but I must have been bitten 10 times during the magic!!!<br /><br />Oh, I see that you are familiar with Magnolia Pearl! AND THE SOUTH OF FRANCE company.....I was there about 10 years ago and dearest, you would love what you see there. I speak French and deal with many French people, and the "southerners" are just about the most wonderful and CREATIVE people around. The beauty you see in the shops filled with ARTISAN work would take your breath away.<br /><br />Now to start another fine summer day. CIAO!
