"My dream is to drive around the world pulling a shiny Airstream behind me. My Golden Retreiver sitting in the passenger seat reading maps. A decent-sized purse. All critical travel items tossed inside. My camera. My journal. My gouache paints, brushes and fine-tip sharpie pens. My sunglasses. Comfortable shoes. A great pair of jeans, long-sleeved (white?) shirt, silver jewelry and push-up bra just in case I find a cake baker on the side of the road along the way. I would pay someone to stay home to wash my baseboards and I wouldn't feel guilty at all for having a minimalist mantel. " - Liberty PostMaira Kalman is my new hero. Oh, how I love her. Do you think she'd take me on some of her walks so that I may pen my own illustrated book? I'd call it 'The Vice-Principles of Certainty'.

This book looks wonderful--love the " . . . occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance . . ."
This sounds so dreamy! I look around at my house and life and while I love everything about it, there are a lot of THINGS TO DO!
I day dream about a simple life. Maybe I just need to read books like this.
I agree, it is so nice to slip away into her illustrations and ponder over her lyrical writing. And, it's so darn funny! Every page makes me chuckle.
I really do need this book. Her drawings are fantastic. But who knew she wrote such adorable copy! Gasp, these multi-talented individuals!!!
I LOVE these illustrations. I could get lost in a book like that.
