If your eyes, ears and mind are open, you're likely to be inspired at many turns. Here are a few things that caught my eye, pricked up my ears and tugged at my heart and mind during this past week.
Poster Perfect
This great poster, which can be yours in a point-and-click minute on Etsy, made its way into my heart and will soon make its way into my home. Music Box
Last weekend I saw the movie "Away We Go." While watching this artful Sam Mendes film, away I went falling in love once again with singer/songwriter Alexi Murdoch. Three soundtrack tunes I couldn't resist buying: "All My Days," "Blue Mind" and "Breathe." Also, in the wake of Michael Jackson's memorial, I decided to find out what might be missing from my already lengthy King of Pop iTunes collection. One"essential" song I didn't have was "Keep It in the Closet." Now I have it, and like my other MJ tracks, this one will rock with me at home, in the car and on foot for years to come.
Reading Abuzz
Our book club has its nose in "Little Bee" by Chris Cleave. This beautifully written novel has received wide acclaim from many important audiences, including the reviewer at The New York Times. Once I started wading into this fictitious oeuvre, I was sunk and consequently consecrated every spare moment of several days to its pages. Even though you aren't supposed to judge a book by its looks, I firmly believe that this book's cover - with its mix of nostalgic fonts, swirls and black, white and orange palette - is worthy of the tale that resides within, and it's just plain pretty.
