I’m excited for a three-day weekend! I’m hoping to tackle chores first and then enjoy time off. Our friends Alain and Houda are hosting a raclette dinner on Saturday night and I can’t wait. It must be winter!
Have a great weekend!

“I started out reading the speech, and I read it down to a point,” he later said. “The audience response was wonderful that day… and all of a sudden this thing came to me that… I’d used many times before… ‘I have a dream.’ And I just felt that I wanted to use it here… I used it, and at that point I just turned aside from the manuscript altogether. I didn’t come back to it.” - Dressing Little Women: Costume Designer Jacqueline Durran on Color, Character, and Breaking the Rules — I loved the costumes in Little Women and enjoyed reading about the color palettes chosen for each of the sisters.
