Empire Falls
$15.00
I got so bored and frustrated with this book, I gave up about 3/4 of the way through and searched the internet for a summary. And I'm glad I did! Empire Falls is a hefty read with lots of details and side plots that barely begin to weave together for more than half the book. Boring? For me, it was. Meandering is a good term. I'm also partial to happy endings, I think struggle should be rewarded with triumph. This book had very little triumph. It offered pain and suffering over two generations of characters in a small, middle America town that is past it's heyday. So completely predictable. I can still hear the character Janine complaining of never having an "O" after 20 years of marriage. This book never climaxed for me either. I just wanted to scream at them to wake up and get a life!

Barbie Collector Silver Label Collection by Lilly Pulitzer - Only 50,000 Created Worldwide
$58.00
I really don't understand the negative reviews about this doll. She is a perfect reproduction of Lilly Pulitzer's early dresses.

Barbie and Stacey are beautiful in one of Lilly's early designs. I love Barbie's hair, and glasses.

On the back of the box there is a picture of Lilly and how she began her clothing business. Did you know that she was a juicer? She needed an outfit to cover up the juice stains, so she designed a beautiful flowery shift for work. The female customers wanted her dress more than her juice, so Lilly went into the clothing design business, and the rest is history.

Anyway, perfect doll for the collector, or children. A++++
