More Book Mail!

Book Mail = Happy Mail!

Riverhead Books ran a contest back in March via Instagram and Facebook, which author Elizabeth Gilbert shared on her feeds, in honor of the 10th Anniversary of Eat Pray Love's release (on 3/30) called #EatPrayLoveSweeps. All you had to do was share a photo of your well loved copy of EPL for a chance to win a 10th Anniversary Edition of EPL (with new Intro by Liz) and a cope of the new anthology of essays by folks inspired by Liz's journey entitled Eat Pray Love Made Me Do It (Intro by Liz). 

I shared a photo on my IG feed of the title page where Liz signed back in 2013 (and filled in my bookplate for me because I had unwittingly left it blank!) which you can also see here in this photo (bottom left corner). 

I found out while I was listening to the EPL audio as I was sitting in my mother's hospital room back in March waiting for her to come back from having another TIA/mini-stroke related followup test that I had been randomly chosen to win the copies! What a coincidence, and just what I needed to perk me up a bit at that moment.

We arrived home this Sunday from a much needed long weekend away in the mountains of Northwestern NJ (yes, NJ has mountains!) to find my winnings sitting on the front porch, patiently waiting for me.

Much to my surprise, Riverhead Books also included Liz's latest, Big Magic! I can't thank them enough for being so gracious!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
