children's book

Hi Everyone,


A friend illustrated a children book.




Released on October 30th in Connecticut.  The book is in independent books stores and will be in Borders Books soon enough, it's also up on my friend's  website at www.coppermoonpress.com.


The book is dedicated to her cousin, Cullen Dwyer of Massachusetts, who is a traumatic brain injury survivor. A portion of the profits from the sale of this book will benefit the Brain Injury Association of America.


If you could check her site out and the book. 




Jordan Village
by Robin G. Maillett
illustrated by LeeAnn Graham
This story for children is about a fruit tree, named Brie, that grows along the ground instead of upright and grows in the yard of a gentle, old woman named Rosie. Jordan is a young squirrel whose front paw did not fully develop and makes his home in the den of the fruit tree because he can not climb. Squire Screech Owl watches over Jordan and keeps Jordan safe from predators. But everything is not cozy in Rosie's backyard...Brie is often made fun of by the tall oaks, towering maples and weeping willows; things soon change, however, when a hurricane hits Jordan Village and no one, not man nor beast, ever makes fun of Brie or Jordan again.


Thank you,


Polly Plain

Rutledge Sweatercoat, Field Scout skirt @ Anthropologie

I tried this sweater coat, size SM and then a M. Loved the coat except the weird thing in the back.
Had flaps stick out, made me feel like a lizard. The front had deep pockets. Everything was great except the back of the sweater.


Field scout skirt
I could wear the skirt size 2, my size ranges from the 2 to 4.
Skirt was just ok, did not take home. 

Review of Bellerby Skirt

I tried on the Bellerby skirt last Friday. It was the best skirt I tried on. I have a pear shape figure. I wear 4 or 2's. The size 4 worked best. Cute and flirty, great for boots. style #18930743, On sale now for @49.95. @ http://www.Anthropologie.com

Review: Formally Layered Cardigan

Tried this sweater on more than once. Could not decide. Could ware size Small, and or Medium. I usually check medium and small to see which fits better. I wear a 2 or a 4 in tops.

 I could wear the small, thought the Medium was a little more comfortable.

Review of Violet Gloaming Dress

Violet Gloaming Dress
by Moulinette Soeurs
#18823559
Size 4

I tried on the Violet Gloaming Dress and was not that impressed. Pretty color- otherwise did not really flatter my figure. I went back and tried the size 2, and thought better of the dress. You might want to size down with this dress.

Grosgrain Dress Review

My last visit - I forgot I tried on the Grosgrain Dress, older ? One happened to be @ the store, size 4. However, it was too large for me. I normally wear size 4 or 2 depending on the style. I would assume someone returned this to the store in KC. I thought the dress did not suit me - it was dressy which would be ok. However, this limits the places you could wear the dress. Also thought the dress was sitting up high and seemed to girlish for me.
