There was a sneak preview for "Miss Potter" last night. Ellie and I went. We had a blast! It is a new movie about the life of Beatrix Potter. It was delightful. It made us want to paint. It made us want to go to the lake disstrict in England. It made us want to go home and paint, go home and read her books - it made us want to buy the movie - and it isn't even out in regular theaters, yet. Maybe next week. I think we will have to see it again.If you are going to go, we suggest the following:
* Set out your watercolor paints, good watercolor paper, two nice containers of water (one for rinsing, one for deluding paint) and a good ink pen, along with your pencil. This movie is going to make you want to do art!
* Take tissue with you. We cried several times during the movie - some for joy, some for sadness.
After the movie we were famished, so we stopped by Whole Foods for a late, light dinner. We purchased wonderful "Pink Lady" apples, grapefruit (best ones EVER!) and Satsuma oranges. We also got pizza and mint & honey tea. It was a fun evening.

I found you by reading your comment on JuJu's blog about her quilt. You gave her some great suggestions! Now I've read your blog all the way through, and enjoyed it very much! Thanks especially for commenting on this movie... I can't wait to see/buy it now! I don't have kids, but it surely is nice to see a mom who nourishes their natural creativity!
