Fashion Friday: Anne and Emily

Hi everyone!

It’s Sam and I’d like to welcome you to our first ever Fashion Friday!

I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely obsessed with these beautiful Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon hardcovers. One of things I like the most is the cute floral patterns in the lettering. Those same patterns are also used on the endpapers and they’re gorgeous.

I thought it would be fun to try and find dresses that matched each cover – and somehow, I did! Unfortunately, not all of these lovely dresses are still available for sale, but check out my finds and let me know in the comments which one is your favourite!

We’re feeling warm and fuzzy with all the love for our books this year! Here’s two more recommended titles from the National Post:

Nancy KnowsNancy Knows
Written by Cybèle Young
Hardcover | 40 Pages | Ages 3-7
ISBN: 978-1-77049-482-4
“Hours can be spent poring over the illustrations for Cybèle Young’s Nancy Knows, a gorgeous little story in which a forgetful elephant racks her memory, trying to remember what it is she was supposed to do. Nancy’s memories are expressed through dozens of miniature, elaborate paper sculptures, each one handcrafted by Young herself. New details spring up on the page with each repeat reading, making it a book parents won’t quickly tire of during story time.” – Anna Fitzpatrick, National Post

Written by Roch Carrier
Illustrated by Sheldon Cohen
Translated by Sheila Fischman
Hardcover | 48 Pages | All Ages
ISBN: 978-1-77049-762-7
