Where were you when you first read this book? I was in my senior year of high school. My French teacher gave my classmates and I character assignments and we had to act out every single line (en francais bien sur!). I later bought my own copy of the book, a used edition just like the one above. Such a sweet story — and the message continues to ring true today. What about you? Have you read this book?

These days, there isn’t much that can compete with the beauty and thoughtfulness of a hand-written note. That’s exactly why I love the postcards above, created by Anna Fewster and inspired by the Bloomsbury Group in London. Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Lytton Strachey, Duncan Grant and Roger Fry — each one is represented here. So, send a clever note or simply jot down some of your thoughts. You never know what kind of brilliance lies beneath a few simple words.

Next time you entertain, why not use a state-specific cutting board to serve cheese and crackers to your guests? I love the detail and accuracy of these hand-carved designs from A. Heirloom. Especially Massachusetts — that’s a tough state to replicate!

Talk about a whirlwind! This past week flew by. Now, I’m off to Boston for three blissful days spent catching up with family and friends, not to mention a surprise guest: my sister! She’s playing the role of jetsetter this weekend, leaving the California sunshine behind to soak up the much-warmer-than-usual New England temps. What about you — what are your weekend plans? To help you kick off the three-day weekend, here are a few happy posts from around the web:

I’d like to think of myself as a doer, which is why this little book by David Hieatt and Andy Smith might just be one of the most creative (and encouraging!) things I’ve ever seen. I’m going to hang this up at my desk as a reminder to dream big and remember that anything’s possible!
