The Weekend...
I'm looking forward to staring my new book this weekend -- The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery. And, I really want to go to the flea market to search for lovely little treasures to incorporate into the jewelry I'm making at the moment.
What are you doing this weekend!?

The Internet has truly Democratized publishing!

A few changes here....
I made a few changes here at the English Muse! I REALLY changed the fonts and went back to two columns. I ditched my old template for Blogger's standard issue Simple format. I'm trying to get my page to load faster. I hope this helps! Let me know what you think!

Thoughts and Prayers
I've been thinking so much this weekend about the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. More than 1,000 people are confirmed dead and more than 10,000 are missing. Parts of the country have very little electricity and no water supply. People need food, blankets and shelter.
I've been trying to figure out the best way to donate to the relief efforts. Philanthropy.com has a good list of charities that are responding. HERE'S THE LINK if you're interested in giving too.

Parisian Chic : A Style Guide
The new edition of Lonny magazine has a fantastic feature on Ines de le Fressange's book, Parisian Chic: A Style Guide. It's due out on April 5th. I'm pre-ordering on Amazon!
It reminds me, though, I really need a Paris fix.

Panic and run amok
The Keep Calm knock offs are still going strong -- more than two years after the trend started. This one, by madmanincognito on etsy, made me laugh!

Here's a sampling:

-- Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.”
-- Complete Works by D.H. Lawrence
“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”
-- Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda.
The rest of the list here.
Happy Valentine's Day!
