I'll admit to being a bit ho-hum about Schubert; I'm more of a <i>Led Zeppelin</i> or <i>AC/DC</i> kinda girl who grew up in a classical music kinda family & I've had my fill of Schubert. But to be fair, I DID sit through a couple of renditions of his <i>Serenade</i> & came to no harm :-) Ahh, yes. Nightwear. I sleep bareskin -- I absolutely cannot tolerate wearing clothing to bed & to be honest I like snuggling nekkid with my husband, even at 60 -- but I love gorgeous PJs, nightgowns & robes for before-bed relaxing & reading & have exactly the same problem your other readers have with finding good quality, age & life-style-appropriate things. Some savvy entrepreneur is missing out on a great marketing opportunity.

I don’t know many people in my community who have your life and beauty values, but I am so grateful to feel part of a community here. I live in Canada and it snowed already! We barely had fall. It’s very sad. I’m making a plan to survive winter and one of my goals is to do all of your chic assignments. That will help give me something to focus on besides the limiting weather. I already Listened to all of your posted videos. And I need to get my sleepwear in order! I have been meaning to do that, so this is good encouragement. You really are so wonderful. Thank you!

I am ready to cozy in for our chilly Minnesota Autumn and thought, I really want to read more Tasha Tudor. I found on Amazon Prime a 47 minute video called "Take Joy: The Magical World of Tasha Tudor." It looks like a charming combination of her drawings, family photo album and home & garden photographs. I am excited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-47370739393536439562019-10-01T09:47:38.869-07:002019-10-01T09:47:38.869-07:00Hi Jennifer,

As a history, English, music and architecture major in graduate school this is a wonderful reminder of the beautiful elements of human life.<br /><br />Every month I look forward to the challenge. (Actually, I look forward to every blog!) There is always something exciting to challenge me. Back in March (or February) you suggested doing something while folding laundry. I thought <br />good grief! How can there be anything to bring joy while folding laundry - then I realized how much I enjoy harpsicord music and I don't seem to listen to it very often. Now I enjoy folding laundry and it was your suggestion that did it! <br /><br />I wanted to mention to you the card game Authors. My sister and I played it as children and we learned about 12 different classic author. We taught it to my niece when she was 7 and she loves Louisa May Alcott because of it. She also knows the classic authors and their works. <br />Here is a link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1572814454/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=&sr=<br />This card game helped me learn about authors and this summer I was so excited and nearly crying when I toured Louisa May's home in Concord, Mass. <br /><br />Thank you for all you do! I appreciate you and your work!<br /><br />Brenda<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512439442477663401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-20331868546957532962019-10-01T08:01:43.020-07:002019-10-01T08:01:43.020-07:00My older kids (now in their late teens and early t...My older kids (now in their late teens and early twenties) all love Poe. (My eldest liked to read Poe by candlelight in her early teens.) I found his stories too creepy when I was in high school, but came to appreciate him with my kids in our homeschool. We always use "The Bells" as an example of cadence when reading aloud. One of our cats is named Annabel Lee after the poem, and we like to go to a coffee shop called The Raven near my daughter's apartment. So yes, I have learned to appreciate Poe! Tasha Tudor had a tame crow named Edgar Allen Crow, which I think is so charming. I am looking forward to this video. :)Kristyn Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596129414614469667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-66102364897018887602019-10-01T06:49:56.700-07:002019-10-01T06:49:56.700-07:00Hi Jennifer,

I had just happened upon a TED Talk last week, which reminded me so much of you. It's called "Change Your Closet, Change Your Life," by Gillian Dunn. You may have already seen it--it's so in line with the values on the community that you've started here. If anyone has the time, it's really worth a view.<br />Thank you again for all you do!!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />NenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
