Hello, hello!
Well, in the wee hours of the morning today, (being much too lazy to cut up 200+ tiny, numbered pieces of paper) I used this handy dandy Random Number Generator to find out who got the coasters. The first number it gave me was lucky # 7, which was Sarah. Hooray for you, little lady! I'll get your present out sometime this week.
It'll go like this: Just leave a comment, saying hi, recommending a film, stating your favorite fruit, whatever you'd like. You can do this until Wednesday (so, up til' Tuesday night @ 11:59 EST). I'll draw a number, and then whoever's comment matches that number will get the present! Please make sure that your email address is with your comment, and that its correct, because I gots to email you to get your mailing address! Today's present is....
...a canvas hedgie family tote (the last one I have left of the original run!)
I plan to do a few more of these in the next week.
Happy Monday!

I recommend Me and You and Everyone We know. A rather bizarre but interesting film. :) Avocados are my favorite fruit.
Amanda · July 02, 2007 at 08:04 PM
I have one of those totes. I love having a tote with such cute hedge hogs.
Diana · July 02, 2007 at 08:09 PM
I feel greedy posting again, but your lovelies are too good to resist! I'm already dreaming of things to do with the coasters!
*squee*
sarah · July 02, 2007 at 08:11 PM
if your in the mood, green street hooligans is a superb film!
and i love your hedgies, too much cuteness on one tote!
corrie · July 02, 2007 at 08:15 PM
"In America" is a fantastic film.
Sarah · July 02, 2007 at 08:24 PM
Might I recommend Rushmore?
Angie · July 02, 2007 at 08:27 PM

How about my favorite summer vegetable? I love cucumbers. In my town is a farmer's market (www.17thstreetfarmersmarket.com). There is a really sweet farmer lady that sells vegetables and although there are several veggie vendors, I only buy from her. She recognizes this and gives me extras from time to time. She has the best cukes and I live on them in the summer.
Cukes on top of cottage cheese with lots of black pepper, cukes in vinegar/oil with onions, cukes just as they are, in salad, on sandwiches....it is an all purpose veggie.
Love me some cukes.

hello, miss emily. i always feel like i have a perfect movie but can't remember the name. always. someday i'll find it. In the meantime, Three Seasons is lovely. A Vietnamese film that won something in Sundance, I believe. The Lives of Others, too, if you haven't seen it already.
emily · July 02, 2007 at 08:34 PM
the weatherman was a really funny movie to rent.
Hilary Glime · July 02, 2007 at 08:35 PM
don't count this one as a post (i posted above) but Prize Winner of Defiance is a very enjoyable movie. And cucumbers with cottage cheese and black pepper? That Cindy isn't lying. And Cindy, you might try this: sandwich with mayonnaise, cucumbers, sliced black olives, spinach and black pepper. It sounds strange, but it's remarkable. A remarkable sandwich.
emily · July 02, 2007 at 08:38 PM
Not quite a film, but the BBC miniseries Bleak House, based on the Charles Dickens novel of the same name was a very enjoyable watch!
And blackberries with a bit of cream and a sprinkle of sugar are quite lovely too ;)
sarah e · July 02, 2007 at 08:39 PM
We never have enough totes in our house. This one would be great for the toddlers to use at the library.
Jennifer · July 02, 2007 at 08:40 PM
Might I suggest a saucy french film called Jeux d'enfants? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364517/
It's a bizarrish little flick about the coping mechanisms that bond a pair of misfits.
kiwi · July 02, 2007 at 08:48 PM
my favirote movie.....little ms.sunshine
my favirote fruit....strawberries from our csa
Jordan · July 02, 2007 at 08:49 PM
You must see "Mostly Martha" before "No Reservations" comes out....unless you already have.
Em · July 02, 2007 at 08:49 PM
My husband & I just watched "The Fountain" & we bothed loved it!
Jenny · July 02, 2007 at 08:51 PM
Hi! I love all sorts of independent, weird and interesting movies, but my movie movie of all time will always be Life is Beautiful. I can't help it, it is such a beautiful movie!
My favorite fruit is white grapes....
:)
Kim · July 02, 2007 at 08:54 PM
I'm in love with the soft, fuzzy, juicy, ripe peaches I picked up at the farmers' market! I hold them up to my nose and, mmm... even the skin smells sweet! I made some absolutely perfect peaches and cream...
Alicia · July 02, 2007 at 08:57 PM
Oh, my very favorite romantic movie of all times is Room With A View...sigh
sadira · July 02, 2007 at 08:57 PM

Love those hedgies.
Mama Urchin · July 02, 2007 at 09:00 PM
Hi my name is Jessica and one of my favorite movies is Me, You, and Everyone we know....cherries are my favorite.
Jessica · July 02, 2007 at 09:00 PM
Just yesterday I picked up this fruit I'd never heard of before: a pluot. I'm guessing from its positioning between the plums and the apricots, it's some sort of crazy hybrid future fruit. I'm yet to try it though. It's coloring makes it look like a really nasty bruise, which is a little unappealing.
Erica · July 02, 2007 at 09:00 PM
My visits to your lovely little corner of the Internet never fail to inspire me. Many felt appliqués and bits of antique lace have wormed their way into my sewing room thanks to you, Miss Apple! I guess now is as good a time as any to let you know, and thank you for it. Oh, and my current favorite movie is Pee Wee's Big Adventure. I'm sure you've seen it, but if not, well, see it.
Maddy · July 02, 2007 at 09:01 PM
While we are on the topic of favorite movies, I'm going to have to go with Bride and Prejudice. :D
Lexi · July 02, 2007 at 09:02 PM
I recently saw "Volver" and enjoyed it quite a bit. My fave fruit if blueberries, though I'm eating an awful lot of cherries these days. Love the tote!
Heidi · July 02, 2007 at 09:02 PM
Papaya!!! Yummm! And that bag would be perfect for carrying lots of papayas! = )
Sharon · July 02, 2007 at 09:03 PM
meep meep
J · July 02, 2007 at 09:04 PM
We just watched Miss Potter and despite mixed reviews, I loved it. Who knew she was such an activist? And Ewan MacGregor? Enough said. And favoritte fruit - nothing more perfect than an orange.
Siew · July 02, 2007 at 09:04 PM
Have you ever squeezed a little bit of lime juice on watermelon slices? YUM. That is my favorite summertime snack.
nikki · July 02, 2007 at 09:05 PM
This tote is DARLING!!!! are there going to be some in your shop?!
Courtney · July 02, 2007 at 09:06 PM
This tote is DARLING!!!! are there going to be some in your shop?!
Courtney · July 02, 2007 at 09:06 PM
poo. Another Sarah got the coasters. Well, I am snacking on watermelon and limonata because the heat is unbearable. I have to second the vote for Volver (because I just purchased it today) and add that A Very Long Engagement is really lovely. You'd dig the costumes, I wager.
sarah · July 02, 2007 at 09:07 PM
It's a bit of a downer, but I really adore "Zelly and Me" with Isabella Rossellini and David Lynch - you should try and see it if you haven't already.
Abbey · July 02, 2007 at 09:11 PM
I love the hedgies! Pears are my favorite fruit, lol!
Jen · July 02, 2007 at 09:12 PM
I just saw the Jan Svankmayer film "Alice" last night. *love*. It was so strange, surreal, arty, creepy--in other words, absolutely wonderful. I'm sure you've already seen it, being the Alice in Wonderland lover yourself. But if not, do rent it...
eggmanstudios · July 02, 2007 at 09:14 PM
present present I would love a present!! :D
xoxo
Jenna Lou
ps... Your hedgies are adorable and would love lovely on my arm :D
jenna lou · July 02, 2007 at 09:15 PM
I love the Czech movie "Daisies" and the South Korean movie "Bin-jip".
i enjoy kiwis, but i'm really more a fan of vegatable, so i'm suggesting some slow roasted cauliflour, it caramelizes a bit and is just delicious.
Karina · July 02, 2007 at 09:15 PM
ooh i love summer cherries!
Jessica Hood · July 02, 2007 at 09:16 PM
Oh I love me some berries...especially if I can pick them myself! I'm an easy to pleaser. Love the little hedgies!
Marla · July 02, 2007 at 09:16 PM
Me again. Hi!
Stephanie Bates · July 02, 2007 at 09:16 PM
I love your stuff. I have some of it and one day I'll add more to it.
Martina Trout · July 02, 2007 at 09:18 PM
the best films we've seen recently have been "The Science of Sleep" (you have to have to have to see that one) and "Pan's Labyrinth". Other favorites include Mirrormask, House of Flying Daggers, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Dave · July 02, 2007 at 09:19 PM
Hi Em, I think you should see Fear Eats the Soul or M if you don't mind subtitles. I love cantoloupe, and I have four kiddies (the anything you want to add part ;) )
Wanett · July 02, 2007 at 09:25 PM
ooooh, gotta get in on this one! favourite fruti would have to be fresh pineapple. i could probably eat a whole one in a day when they're just right.
leslie · July 02, 2007 at 09:25 PM
Dear Miss Emily,
tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, possibly the heirloom variety, sweet ripe and juicy ! And yes they are fruits, summer fruits.
As far as movies I can't get enough of watching Paper Moon. Timeless masterpiece.
valebodi@mac.com
Valentina · July 02, 2007 at 09:26 PM
Hi! My favorite fruit at the moment are mangoes. Mmmmm. Here in Florida we have lots! Thanks for the present days...so nice!
Susanna · July 02, 2007 at 09:28 PM
I love your hedgies! since most of my movie recommendations are pretty mainstream so I'll go with one of my favorites - peaches. My husband's secretary picks some at a nearby orchard and they are the tastiest (they have a red center) and juiciest peaches I've ever had.
stacy · July 02, 2007 at 09:29 PM
hi, just found your blog today. will be checking back often!
beth l · July 02, 2007 at 09:29 PM
Adorable. And it would look so cute filled up with my favorite fruits: mangos and plums!
Rachelle · July 02, 2007 at 09:32 PM
I love the movie Fur:An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus. its a movie about Diane Arbus the photographer but it is actually mostly made up. I am obsessed with that movie. and i love strawberries
Tegan · July 02, 2007 at 09:34 PM
The Science of Sleep is a charming movie.
emily · July 02, 2007 at 09:35 PM
"Bon Voyage" is a really swell French film.
Abigail · July 02, 2007 at 09:37 PM
A Very Long Engagement. Watched it this weekend. Amazing. :)
Oh, and try mixing equal parts of (any type)fruit-flavored yogurt and cool whip. That's a delicious fruit-dip for apple slices, strawberries, bananas....whatever! Yum!
Veronica · July 02, 2007 at 09:37 PM
Hi! I can't tell you how much I love your blog! It's the best keeps me motivated!
Romy · July 02, 2007 at 09:38 PM
Robert Altman's Three Women. Apples. Yay! :)
futuregirl · July 02, 2007 at 09:38 PM
peaches :)
Lindsay · July 02, 2007 at 09:40 PM
I was going to suggest Jan Svankmajer's "Alice" which I watched this weekend, but then I saw that someone else has suggested it...
I also saw the French Film "Delicatessen" which I really loved, its very strange and creepy in a good way.
I love your blog and all your artwork!
I just bought some prints of yours at Renegade!
Chelsea · July 02, 2007 at 09:40 PM
How can I resist? It's hedgehogs! I'm simply addicted to your hedgies. :)
Seeing as how I adore your taste in the art you create and in your fantastic style... I'm curious if we might not have similar taste in movies? Mine certainly come highly recommended. :) I'm not a huge movie person though... so most of them are somewhat well known.
My top 5 are:
The Princess Bride
Titanic
Forrest Gump
Lilo and Stitch
Peter Pan (the 2005 version, non-animated)
Sarah · July 02, 2007 at 09:42 PM
Aww those Hedgies are just my favourite!
Movie to recommend: Bread and Tulips (italian- 2000) is a great film.
Favourite fruit: Mango. But my everyday favourite, the trusty banana. You can't go wrong with the banana. :0)
vera · July 02, 2007 at 09:43 PM
Chocolat...one of my favorites with a glass of wine, some chocolate and my embroidery.
Karen June · July 02, 2007 at 09:45 PM
berries are yummy!
amanda · July 02, 2007 at 09:48 PM
Hello Emily, My favourite movie of all time is the black & white 1957 classic 'The Three Faces of Eve' It's a fantastic movie! Thank-you for being so sweet!
Kaychelle · July 02, 2007 at 09:48 PM
one of the most wonderful films i have seen is a german film titled "peas at 5:30". it was whimsical, romantic, and fun. two years ago at the philadelphia film festival it was one of the films i chose to see, and i still look on netflix to see if they have added it to their lovely and expansive bevvy of forign films. but alas, it lives on in my heart as one of my favorite films..which sadly i won't get to see again.
blake · July 02, 2007 at 09:48 PM
oh oh oh...
I reccomend the movie "Everything Is Illuminated"...you'll love it...I've seen it NO LESS than 10 times within a 2 month period ;)...Don't let Elijah Wood fool you ;) Nothing hobbitty about him in this movie...it's moving, deep, funny, FORIEGN and the music ROCKS MY SOCKS. I *Promise* you'll like it ;)
See ya' soon!
Tuesday · July 02, 2007 at 09:50 PM
I love "Amelie" and "Mary Poppins". Whimsy rules. As you know. (I'm going away for 5 weeks, so if I am the lucky winner, will you hold it for me please? Thank you!)
Kristy · July 02, 2007 at 09:53 PM
Have you tried fresh lychee fruits, Emily? Be careful of that seed. They're delicious and refreshing refrigerated during the summer.

Yayy for presents....I would love to own a hedgie tote!!!

Jennifer · July 02, 2007 at 09:58 PM
I love pineapple grilled, chilled and even in chicken salad!
Katie Huggins · July 02, 2007 at 10:04 PM
I love Everything is Illuminated the movie with Elijah Wood. You will laugh and cry. There is a book by the same guy Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
Makayla · July 02, 2007 at 10:05 PM
"Once" was sweet.
Amanda · July 02, 2007 at 10:06 PM
Hi! Fun little contest. A film I'd recommend, hmmm, just saw Born into Brothals. It's sad but a very well done documentary. And grapefruit is a great fruit, especially late at night while watching old t.v. show re-runs.
abby · July 02, 2007 at 10:14 PM
I'm weirdly obsessed with Wimbledon. The movie, not the tennis stuff going on now. I think it's because of a small crush I have on Paul Bettany.
bkm · July 02, 2007 at 10:16 PM
I think this is a mexican thing, but I love mangos on a stick covered in lemon juice and chili powder!
Jazmin · July 02, 2007 at 10:20 PM
One of my all-time favorite movies is Patch of Blue starring one Mr. Sidney Poitier. Sigh. I love that stinkin' movie.
Watch, really! It's so good.
As for fruit...seedless watermelon with salt on it!
Taste, really! It's so good. ;)
Sarah M. · July 02, 2007 at 10:22 PM
Hi! I recommend The Princess Bride, and my favourite fruit is passionfruit :-)

so today at my job (as an english as a second language teacher), a student was telling about the taiwanese new year and how they eat sticky rice cake. except she kept pronouncing it stinky. "stinky rice cake is so delicious. stinky rice cake is my favorite food."
tiffany · July 02, 2007 at 10:29 PM
definitely apricots.
erika · July 02, 2007 at 10:30 PM
"The Actors".
The Hoopiest Frood · July 02, 2007 at 10:31 PM
I'm not lucky, but my life is random so who knows.
Here's today's movie recommendation: Ponette. It will make you cry your eyes out, but it's a beautiful film.
Carrie · July 02, 2007 at 10:32 PM
Cute tote! My favorite colour right now is green.
This is fun!
jana · July 02, 2007 at 10:36 PM
Daisies by Vera Chytilova is my very favorite movie. It's about two darling rebels and I'm pretty sure you'd like it (that is if you haven't already seen it!)
brandie · July 02, 2007 at 10:36 PM
The hedgie tote is adorable. Love it! As for movies...When Harry Met Sally...all time favorite. Fruit? hmmm. Watermelon with salt.
Kathleen · July 02, 2007 at 10:38 PM
my favorite fruit is fruit of the loom!
Christie · July 02, 2007 at 10:40 PM
Hi hi! I love avacados! and tangerines. Too bad tangerines are out of season now. :(
Fawne · July 02, 2007 at 10:40 PM
ooh - just reading the movie titles is making me want to watch them again...I loved Mostly Martha, I too am bizarrely(sp?) obsessed with Wimbeldon (the movie) and I love Chocolat - but you must have food while watching the first and latter. And so on to my favorite fruit...hmm...I'd have to say guanabana...I know it sounds odd. I had it in Costa Rica in milkshakes- yummy!!
Amber · July 02, 2007 at 10:40 PM
New film: The Namesake
Old film, same director: Mississippi Masala
It's fun watching a director's style mature!
mj · July 02, 2007 at 10:40 PM
Cross fingers and toes really tightly. This is the cutest tote ever!
Heres a fruit that everyone should try its called the Ugli fruit nope not making it up and it is super yummy!
Stefanie · July 02, 2007 at 10:45 PM
My favorite little hedgy is the one holding the balloon! ;)

MMMM.... Mango.
That tote would be great with knitting needles. Or board books. Or mangos.
HeatherCE · July 02, 2007 at 11:04 PM
ooooooh, a hedgie tote! Big Fish is an excellent movie, right up there with Amelie...
Allyson V · July 02, 2007 at 11:04 PM
I just saw Miss Potter over the weekend. It was so cute. It made me want to illustrate bunnies and ducks.... I'm wondering how much is fact and how much is fiction though. I still loved it!
Joanne · July 02, 2007 at 11:06 PM
Pan's Labyrinth is a beautiful but sad and, frequently, violent film. I highly reccommend it. This time year PEACHES are my favorite fruit. Happy Monday!
Melissa
Melissa · July 02, 2007 at 11:15 PM
I loved Amelie, The Royal Tenenbaums, Me, You, and Everyone We Know, and Stranger Than Fiction. Raspberries. Tart and delicious. Love that you are doing this gifting stuff; it's fun. Thanks.
Carm · July 02, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Well firstly... those hedgies are too too cute!!
And secondly... I adore Asian Pears (as juicy as watermelon and crisp and cool as a cucumber... YUMMY!)
Oh, and the best movie of all time is Amelie, but if you've already seen that, then I recommend The Safety of Objects or the TV Series Six Feet Under.
Crossing my fingers and all 10 little piggies that I win!

Laurie G. (morningk) · July 02, 2007 at 11:26 PM
I recommend.... 'A room with a veiw' It's one of my all time faves.
lara · July 02, 2007 at 11:27 PM
My favorite fruit is Passion Fruit. My favorite color is green.
If you haven't seen Amelie, I think you'd love it!
Nell · July 02, 2007 at 11:30 PM

Samantha · July 02, 2007 at 11:30 PM
See the movie Once. You won't regret it.
Stephanie · July 02, 2007 at 11:34 PM
I recommend the French film 'Ma Femme Est Une Actrice' with Charlotte Gainsbourg, directed by her boyfriend Yvan Attal. It's wonderful. My favorite fruit... the pear.
Oh, and hi. :)
Emily S. · July 02, 2007 at 11:34 PM
grapefruit and 'happy times' (fruit & cool chinese film).

"...the eye of the passer-by who is too hasty will see only the surface. Whoever is in a hurry will not stop for me." -Pissarro
I visited the Milwaukee Art Museum today, and they're currently featuring a collection of Pissarro's paintings. I bought a shirt in the gift shop with this quote on it; it's so perfectly me and lovely and wistful.
Thanks again for being a sweetheart to your fans. :)
Christy · July 02, 2007 at 11:36 PM
You simply must watch Umbrellas of cherbourg. It's one of my favorite films. I love to curl up on the couch with some wine, brie and watch that film. Then I'll pop open a box of chocolates and indulge in Doris Day's Pillow Talk!
Audrey · July 02, 2007 at 11:40 PM
Hi. I just watched the movie "Fur" inspired by Diane Arbus' early life, and I have to say it was really great! Much better than I had expected... Very whimsical and imaginative.

If you live near water - go kayaking! :-)
I took my daughters last week (ages 4 and 7) and we had a great time... I loved hearing "mommy! look at that!" over and over....wow.

Sara · July 03, 2007 at 12:17 AM
the science of sleep is sooo magical! and of course, gray gardens- but you already know that.
as for fruit... avacados! cherries! grapefruit!!!
freelisa · July 03, 2007 at 12:18 AM
La Vie en Rose (My Life in Pink) is a nice french movie made a couple years ago about this little boy who wants to be a girl. Very good!
I love refrigerated oranges. So yummy cold!
Jenny · July 03, 2007 at 12:57 AM
ah... my favorite movie is "the 60s"... a made-for-tv special that is quite cheesy but a quite enjoyable three hours... and I would know as I have seen it at least 25 times... no joke. It is one of those movies you can put on and run around the house while listening to the music and occasionally catching a peek at the screen and still enjoy it, plus it has julia stiles as a knocked up hippie, what could be better?!! I am even considering buying another copy just in case mine gets scratched or something... wow, I can't believe I just admitted this to all of you! carry on, happy monday!
littlegreen@littlegreendesigns.com
kate · July 03, 2007 at 01:00 AM
definitely feijoas for fruit...
have too many recommended movies but I am looking forward to seeing Priceless/Hors de Prix, as I love Audrey Tautou, Breakfast at Tiffanys and subtitles!

Amy · July 03, 2007 at 01:00 AM
in the past 2 days i have watched really good movies which i now recomment to you.
Orlando
Delicatessen
City of lost children
and as far as favorite fruit...
raspberries, blackberries, strawberries fresh, organic non genetically modified ones
and plumbs and nectarines
trina · July 03, 2007 at 01:00 AM
Hi Emily,
I love your artwork. I have spent many hours agonising over which print to buy and I still haven't made up my mind.
A good movie I watched recently is "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo)". It's a subtly lovely Japanese animated film about time travel and first love.

I watched this last night. It's called Four Eyed Monsters. Its got this bittersweet loveliness to it. One of the best indie films I've seen in a while. I hope you get a chance to take a peak and perhaps like it. :)
Sea Anemone · July 03, 2007 at 01:03 AM
I always love it when you ask for movies, me being movie illiterate I come away with a new list of must sees. The tote is adorable and as I am slightly obsessed with totes in general I'd like to say, "if there's a random number generator god then please generate mine!"
Sara Berry · July 03, 2007 at 01:06 AM
Oh Happiness, where are you?
Well, you won't find it in the movie Happiness.
But it's still definitely worth seeing!
Terry · July 03, 2007 at 01:07 AM
I don't know who actually won the debate, vegetable or fruit, but I love tomatoes! Raw and with lots of salt, I can eat those unsliced like a juicy apple with its guts spilling out. Our garden is full of cherry tomatoes in the summer and I love feeling them burst in my mouth!
O tomato! How fair thou art!
Jennifer · July 03, 2007 at 01:12 AM
oh my! a hedgie tote. i'm so glad you're giving away things, what a great idea :) i love mangoes, especially the yellow ones from the philippines. i'm drooling just thinking about them.
gigegy · July 03, 2007 at 01:15 AM
My favorite movie is always the last one I watched, and in this case it was "Who the #$%^& is Jackson Pollock?" about a trucker woman's 10 year quest to authenticate a huge $5 painting she bought at a thrift store...interesting stuff! Definitely worth a Netflix.
Tessa · July 03, 2007 at 01:17 AM
I never knew how cute hedgehogs were 'til you!
MiraclesHappen · July 03, 2007 at 01:24 AM
Great Romantic Movies:
Junebug
Happy Accidents
True Romance
Mansfield Park
Here is an opportunity to let you know that I watched Grey Gardens because of your recommendation and LOVED it!! Those two women are both fascinating and heartbreaking. I hope that some of us bloggers can introduce you(and each other) to a few new movies!
rayna · July 03, 2007 at 01:30 AM
ok i'm obsessed with hedgies (not to mention your work!) so here we go....
tonight i had watermellon drizzled with olive oil topped with a little feta cheese + pine nuts. DELECTABLE!!!
cristina - string*THEORY · July 03, 2007 at 01:43 AM
Fruit is good.
My friends came up with this ice-breaker question when we first started college: "What's your melon?"
My melon is watermelon.
Cheshire Kat · July 03, 2007 at 01:49 AM
hello-
thank you so much for the lovely gift opportunity. tis much fun... jen
jen · July 03, 2007 at 01:56 AM
hello miss emily. i love your method of giving away freebies. fruit and films are excellent starting topics, hehe.
personally i am well into apples seeing as it is winter here and it's one of the few fruits that is actually good in autumn/winter. i like them baked with brown sugar and cinnamon, served with cream. yummmmmmmy.
as for films, all i can think about at the moment is Harry Potter because my husband is reading the books (he's up to #3) and we have been watching the DVDs once he finishes the book. i'm looking forward to Order of The Phoenix! are you a HP fan?
Lindsey Clare · July 03, 2007 at 01:57 AM
I saw the little animated short that won the Academy Award this year: The Danish Poet...find it! Watch it! Love it!
Heather Harwood · July 03, 2007 at 02:01 AM
hi! i love fresh pineapple and watermelon... they are so very tasty and summery.
Ren · July 03, 2007 at 02:20 AM
Hello :) I have many films to recommend but I just watched 'Harold & Maude' this weekend so it tops my list of wonderfulness for now. And I love plums ...
;)
Fishberry Jam · July 03, 2007 at 02:21 AM
hehe my favourite fruit is pie. hehehe.
TumTum · July 03, 2007 at 02:22 AM
Hi - I LUURVE your 'honesty' print - gorgeous!
suze · July 03, 2007 at 02:36 AM
Hiya! I love Zoolander to make me laugh and Amelie for rainy days as it is so lovely. I am into cherries at the moment, but that it probably because they are in season at the and are delicious!
Liz · July 03, 2007 at 02:45 AM
I totally recommend the Sandlot Kids.
falimako · July 03, 2007 at 02:49 AM
amelie ... ammelie ... amelie :)
vanessa · July 03, 2007 at 02:54 AM
eek! hedgehogs!!! Hooray!
My favorite fruit is the noble tomato, because it can be eaten as fruit or vegetable, and is a key part of the following recipe (given with apologies to those who dislike long comments and/or parenthesis)
Required Components:
-Thickly sliced tomato(organic vine ones are the best, I think)
-Two slices of bread (THICK, chewy bread)
-Salt&Pepper
-Monterey or PepperJack Cheese, sliced thickly
-mayo, if you're into that sort of thing
-the kind of mustard that has grains and horseradish in it (Dijon is superior, of course.)
Assemble in the following order (from top to bottom)
-salt and pepper
-tomato
-cheese
-mayo, if you're into that sort of thing
-delicious mustard
-bread
Then bake the whole mess in your oven until the cheese is all gooey, the bread is all toasty, and the tomatoes are all warm. It's heaven. I eat it pretty much daily... and am about to go cook one, because typing this made me crave it!
Annalise · July 03, 2007 at 02:56 AM
I like pretty much all fruits. So I'm going to say fruit salad like they make where I live (Sicily). They make a simple syrup, let it cool, then add lemon juice. Then you cut up whatever fruit is in season and let it sit in the juice. It is soooo good. Even apples are divine like this.
Emy · July 03, 2007 at 03:28 AM
Edamame Bruschetta (YUM)
2 cups peeled edamame
1 tbsp. lemon juice
8 half-slices of baguette
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. sea salt
4 tbsp. freshly grated parmesan
pepper to taste
Directions:
Mash everything up. (Defrost edamame first if you're using frozen, but seriously, why do that when you can get non-frozen at Trader Joe's?)
Toast bread. Top with bruschetta.
Wolf down before guests show up.
Make another batch for guests.
P.S. I LOVE HEDGIES!!!
Elisabeth · July 03, 2007 at 03:35 AM
wow, you know how to rock and roll. how about, apple pie?
courtney · July 03, 2007 at 03:52 AM
Hmm, I love Hannah and Her Sisters, but think you'd melt if you saw The Secret Of Roan Inish. I love Selkie stories. OK, favorite fruit...watermelon...though cherries and apples are not too far behind. Again, doing this for your readers is wonderful...
Laura · July 03, 2007 at 03:59 AM
My all-time favorite movie - Moulin Rouge. I think Baz Luhrman is a genius! (And if you haven't already, check out Strictly Ballroom, the first in the "Red Curtain Series")
Heather Awsumb · July 03, 2007 at 04:08 AM
the hedgies is adorable :)
Ruta · July 03, 2007 at 04:19 AM
Just waking up in France saying Hi! to the little hedgies :D
annejulie · July 03, 2007 at 04:23 AM
Hi there, I always check in on your blog but rarely comment - been admiring all the lovely paintings and hedgehogs silently! That bag & print is gorgeous!
Anyway, I don't really like watching movies much so I'm not sure I have any to reccomend, although I love The Untouchables, especially the stair scene ;)
Emma · July 03, 2007 at 04:23 AM
the royal tenebaums. i watched it so much that my video store just gave it to me! my favorite fruit are raspberries. and let's see here...my kitty dreams and when he does his little paws run and he suckles. something random to throw in there!!

All three of the kiddos have signed up for the public library reading program. Wouldn't their mama look so cute toting their books in this? Or how about to the beach, with a new magazine and iced tea? Or to the park, filled with bottles of bubbles and pb&j? Please enter me! :)
shawn · July 03, 2007 at 04:48 AM
movie - saving grace - great and funny british film.
fruit - avocado (i think it is a fruit!)
hedgie bag - cannot believe you are giving one of these away - too kind x
tracy x
tracy x · July 03, 2007 at 04:49 AM
I watched "Last King of Scotland" last night and it was truly brilliant, brutal and powerful. I had to close my eyes a few times though!
I'm in love with pears at the moment, so sweet and juicy. They are in season here (Tasmania, Australia) and always feel like they are such a decadent fruit. Also they go very well with blue cheese.
Bec Adamczewski · July 03, 2007 at 04:53 AM
Blindfold hedgie rocks my world! I adore them all though. :D
Noire et Blanche · July 03, 2007 at 04:55 AM
Three of my favourite films (not very recent but excellent movies...) Crash, The constant gardener and Hotel Rwanda. I adore the tote so much just as your prints, paintings and all!!!
yquincampoix · July 03, 2007 at 05:06 AM
'The Trouble with Angels' is always a good film :)
rachel · July 03, 2007 at 05:12 AM
I'm sure you'll have seen some of my fave films but I can watch lost in Translation over and over again and Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
Love the hedgies :)
Christine · July 03, 2007 at 05:39 AM
My favourite film? Amelie (although it does depend on what kind of day I'm having). And my favourite fruit are strawberries- although for jam it has to be raspberry.

Lorna Brown · July 03, 2007 at 05:58 AM
Here's an oldie....but a goodie that you will love - if you have not already seen it - Babbette's Feast.
It's wonderful.
Sue · July 03, 2007 at 06:37 AM
I'd like to give you the link to a Swedish singer that I like: http://www.jennielofgren.com/. She deserves more listeners!
Malin · July 03, 2007 at 06:51 AM
Favorite summer fruit? Watermelon! Although I could really go for a decent plum or pluot....
meg · July 03, 2007 at 06:55 AM
Run, don't walk, to see "La Vie en Rose". It's amazing!
rebecca · July 03, 2007 at 06:57 AM
favorite fruit would have to be rhubarb dipped in sugar, I am not sure what my favorite movie is but my favorite book is 'The Color of Water' by James McBride. How are you Emily?
Kim · July 03, 2007 at 07:01 AM
Seconding the recommendation for The Umbrellas of Cherbourg ... what a visually stunning film.
Nectarines. I heart them.
Laura · July 03, 2007 at 07:11 AM
Hello!
Pears are my most favourite fruit and I highly recommend the movie "Back to the future".
I LOVE your hedgehog totes...they are so incredibly adorable.
Jemma · July 03, 2007 at 07:13 AM
oooh! Films are my thing, indeed.....I can recommend a bunch:
The Price of Milk
Ponette
Breakfast on Pluto
Little Women
Science of Sleep
The Lady and The Duke
The Life Aquatic
hmmm.....I won't list them all.....I like far too many movies! :)
My favorite fruit is watermelon...especially right now when they are in season and perfectly sweet! :)
Marjorie · July 03, 2007 at 07:20 AM
My favorite fruit is a ripe banana sliced over Kashi's GoLean Crunch in milk!
Stephanie · July 03, 2007 at 07:27 AM
I know you are a fellow Amelie fan, so perhaps you would enjoy these other movies featuring Audrey Tautou:
Dirty Pretty Things
He loves me, he loves me not
A very long Engagement
Enjoy!

you are so talented!
stina · July 03, 2007 at 07:50 AM
My favorite movie is Princess Bride. I know it is quite cheesey, but I love the nostolgia.
D · July 03, 2007 at 07:50 AM
ok random comment....
I love bananas and the original Bad News Bears movie is one of my favorites.
:)
stilettoheights · July 03, 2007 at 08:03 AM
My favorite fruit is the juicy little strawberries I have in my garden.
I just love your art. I have several of your charming little red-head prints.
Kara · July 03, 2007 at 08:05 AM
Cherries and nectarines!
Christina · July 03, 2007 at 08:12 AM
Movie recomendation today, huh? I recomend Heavenly Creatures, one of Peter Jackson's first films. It's quite disturbing especially since it's based on a true story but Kate Winslet does an amazing job in it and the clothes are fabulous! My email address is smithli21@yahoo.com.
Leslie · July 03, 2007 at 08:21 AM
For some reason I can never tell people my favourite films (or books or songs) and I get stressed that I really love something else more but it just hasn't popped into my head at that particular moment. Four films did pop into my head to mention here but, as they have all been mentioned in other comments already, I will save myself the stress of putting my thoughts in the public domain. I'm not sure why but I can say what my favourite fruit is without worrying that it's not really my favourite: fresh pineappple. Even though it burns my skin and leaves me with a red blotchy face, I just can't stop eating it.
Laura · July 03, 2007 at 08:25 AM
My favorite fruit is the pineapple.
I have a hard time picking movies...
Jamie B. · July 03, 2007 at 08:27 AM
Just saw Evening...it was sad but had a great message. It's hard to turn down a film with Claire Danes, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Toni Colette, and Natasha Richardson!
Chrissie Grace · July 03, 2007 at 08:35 AM
Holy cow check out the comments! (Nothing like prizes to pull out the Lurkers, ahem)
Go see Ratatouille. Seriously.
Or if you haven't seen it, rent Pan's Labyrinth.
And eat some strawberries.
Emily · July 03, 2007 at 08:46 AM
The kiwi is a great fruit. I like to just scoop them out with a spoon. They are also decorated on the inside (looks like a print when you cut them open). A bonus is they're good for you and taste pretty good, too.
Elizkat · July 03, 2007 at 08:52 AM
I think you would love the movie "The Triplets of Belleville."
Amber · July 03, 2007 at 09:02 AM
I love Grapefruit, they are best eaten with sugar on top!

Jill · July 03, 2007 at 09:06 AM
I'm sure you've seen it, but on the off-chance no? Well, Dangerous Liaisons is the perfect way to spend a snow-day, or a particularly humid & crummy, Sunday, summer afternoon. Oft-remade with mixed results, I must insist on the 1988 Malkovich/Close version of this classic French story. More mainstream than my taste in film usually runs, but oh, the rewards. The sweet, nasty rewards...
karaalison · July 03, 2007 at 09:13 AM
The World of Henry Orient. Peter Sellers, Paula Prentiss.
Just saw Music & Lyrics. Acting was kind of lame, but the script contained some good banter.
Janet · July 03, 2007 at 09:14 AM
Passion Fruit and Kiwi are delicious.
A great movie that has a deceiving cover is Wicker Park--crazy and suspenseful.

Johanna Ely · July 03, 2007 at 09:21 AM
I just couldn't resist leaving a comment - that hedgie tote is so wonderful! Always inspired by your creations - whatever medium they are in. My favourite fruit is pineapple - quite nice put onto skewers, lightly barbequed and dipped in chocolate (a Nigella Recipe of course!)
Jhoanna · July 03, 2007 at 09:24 AM
I would have to recommend the French documentary 'Etre et Avoir' about a schoolteacher in rural France and his students. Most adorable ever.
courtney · July 03, 2007 at 09:30 AM
I like raspberries and "High Society". Really, I like to eat raspberries while watching any movie, but my Grace Kelly is my favorite.
Sarah Ridgley · July 03, 2007 at 09:30 AM
strawberries, strawberries, strawberries. And mint chocolate chip ice cream ;).

I am busting to see shrek 3 this weekend.... otherwise the last movie I saw was ant bu;;y with the kids.... very cute

luv Abby · July 03, 2007 at 09:41 AM
Hi Emily - I recommend The Big Night as a great food movie while eating strawberries dipped in sour cream and then rolled in brown sugar. It's a fabulous combination and what a fun contest!
Eleanore · July 03, 2007 at 09:47 AM
Ok, seriously, why are people posting twice in a row with the same comment?! Are you that desperate?
LOL Anyways... I'll tell you a story about mangoes! I had never tried one, so I bought one when I was in the grocery store. I liked it so much I decided to eat the whole thing! Well the next day, my mouth was so swollen (my lips where triple their normal size)!
Kelly · July 03, 2007 at 09:52 AM
Hi, I just saw Transformers it wasn't that bad my boyfriend enjoyed it. It was like reliving his childhood.

Steph · July 03, 2007 at 09:53 AM
Augh! The hedgie tote! I would have to say a good/bad movie is Kung Pow. Actually, it's pretty horrible. But if you can sit through it the first time, showing it to someone else gets pretty funny for you. My favorite fruit would have to be fresh blueberries. Mmmm. But I really do love them all. I just feel even healthier with blueberries because of all the great antioxidants.
Lynn · July 03, 2007 at 09:54 AM
One of my all time favorite movies is "Wings of Desire", you will *love* it
Martha Bonneau · July 03, 2007 at 10:02 AM

I really love this tote.
Big kiss from Spain.
Gemma · July 03, 2007 at 10:06 AM
What a cute bag!!! I can't think of a favorite film - I could watch the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice over and over, though. And I love Mango (the fruit!).
Jeanette · July 03, 2007 at 10:06 AM
Fave fruits of late:
Pluot plums..
Loquats.. (or nespoli's, if you're italian)
Mirabelle plum preserves..
Rhubarb.. (from my garden)
Monika · July 03, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Loving the hedgies on the bag! Perfect for my bag fetish and perfect little hedgies!
Emily H. · July 03, 2007 at 10:15 AM

ps - cherries are the best
desi · July 03, 2007 at 10:18 AM
Hi Emily,
I think you are so generous and gifted. And I thought since you're giving some of "yourself" away; we maybe should too... So I thought an easy way of doing that would be to give you one of my favourite recipes:) It's a French family recipe for Pear and Grape Jam and I hope you will like it (as well as any commentators here). It is a really special jam which looks pretty and pink when done, the flavour is nuanced (as in "nicety"; a subtle quality) and delicate. Enjoy!
Grape and Pear Jam
Makes 5 jars of about 350g
• 2 kg ripe but firm pears
• 1,5 kg red grapes
• Juice from one lemon
• 1 kg sugar + same weight as “grape juice”
Peel the pears and cut into squares. Put in a bowl with 1 kg vegan sugar. Let marinate 2-3 hours until the sugar has dissolved.
Wash the grapes and remove from stem. Put the grapes in a casserole and make them burst on high heat. Press the juice out of the grapes and filter.
Weigh the grape juice and put it, together with the same weight of sugar and the lemon juice in a casserole. Cook until the mixture turns “syrupy”. Add the pears and bring to a boil.
Cook for 30 min while stirring and skimming the jam.
Put in sterilized jars.
Enjoy on baguettes (just remember to butter your bread first;).
Christina · July 03, 2007 at 10:24 AM
Hi,
Just have to enter this one too! I love the hedgies and so does my elder daughter! My favourite film has to be 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' - very sad I know!
Lynsey · July 03, 2007 at 10:24 AM
-hi! hello!!
-you absolutely must watch Imitation of Life... it's an oldie and has a beautiful story. you'll cry!

Hello again Miss Emily!!
Let's see one of my all time favorite movies is "Amelie" I love it to bits!!! But some newer films I have seen and loved are "The Science of Sleep" & "Miss Potter". Also "Grey Gardens" was finally shipped via Blockbuster online!! All 3 movies are fantastic!
My favorite fruit is probably Plums!!!
*hugs*

Heavyeyeliner · July 03, 2007 at 10:35 AM
i recommend the movie the secretary...a very twisted love story indeed.
i don't really have a favorite fruit really...i love most any. Bananas on peanut butter toast are pretty delicious.
love the hedgie bag...pick me, pick me!
Stephanie · July 03, 2007 at 10:38 AM
little hedgies are so cute!
would you believe that i'm not a big fan of fruit?! it's a texture thing for me...however, i do enjoy fruit juice! White Cranberry is my first favorite, followed by Minute Maid's new Cherry Limeaide...both make excellent cocktails!!!! Cheers!

Our current fav movie here is Arthur and the Invisibles. We love the little fairies!!
Have a great 4th!
geri · July 03, 2007 at 10:39 AM
I feel rather greedy posting again too but one of my all-time favourite movies is The Ghost and Mrs. Muir - so no matter what number you pick I think you should go watch it because it is wonderful and you will love it.
melanie · July 03, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Favourite fruit is raspberries.
And I love love LOVE Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I'd kill for a Clementine-inspired piece of art!
Hellcat13 · July 03, 2007 at 10:46 AM
One of my favorite movies is Babe--yes, the one with the talking pig. I was forced to watch it when I worked in an after school program and fell in love. I think you'd really like it. It's not as hokey as you'd think and Babe's world looks quite similar to your own little Black Apple in style and sweetness (though admittedly a little less black).
Jenny · July 03, 2007 at 10:49 AM
It is summertime again and with it come fresh juicy raspberries, my absolute favorite....yummm
Movie recommendation: The Fountain (nothing can be said about it you just must see it)

I just saw Ghostrider. I only recommend it if you're not too picky, or like comic-based movies (my hubby hates them all across the board), or are easily amused. I liked it, but I wasn't expecting much going into it, so I was sort of pleasantly surprised. I also kinda tuned out Eva Mendes, but thoroughly enjoyed Peter Fonda, especially his campy hair.

Not so recent, but Emir Kusturica's "white cat black cat" (in French "chat noir chat blanc", funny they changed the order...) is one of my all-time favourites...

I really LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tote. I don't know why, but I'm in love with watermaelon more this year than any other year. And I find myself eating oranges (which I hardly ever eat) and sweet mange.
Enjoy the beautiful summer :o)
noodleroll · July 03, 2007 at 11:33 AM
proboh@sbcglobal.net My favorite movie is Dumb & Dumber. I know, very sofisticated humor! Hope Im the lucky winner!
Jessica proboh@sbcglobal.net · July 03, 2007 at 11:35 AM

fave fruit: avocado!
hi: hell you are cute
sue · July 03, 2007 at 11:41 AM
that was supposed to say "HELLO you are cute", but I guess "Hell you are cute" sounds like i mean it even more! ;)

sue · July 03, 2007 at 11:42 AM
hello there! such fun to have these drawings - i had a guess how many buttons in the jar contest last month and plan to have one every now and then. always fun to give away something from the shop!
how about a music recommendation? i've been loving the ben taylor band lately...
liz elayne · July 03, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Hi Emily: I love all your stuff! You rock !
My faborite fruit is kiwi ;)
Maria · July 03, 2007 at 11:48 AM
I recommend The Mission. It is from the 80's. It will make you think.
Rachel · July 03, 2007 at 11:57 AM
film for you - raise the red lantern, it's 1920's china, need i say more?
courtney lee · July 03, 2007 at 12:05 PM
So many posts! But may as well tell of a new favorite movie: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Too witty and clever by half.
And my favorite fruit is the blueberry.
ambika · July 03, 2007 at 12:08 PM
A good movie, eh? Well, I am totally in love with "Strictly Ballroom." A must if you haven't seen it.
Kara · July 03, 2007 at 12:10 PM
I really liked the movie Big White with Robin Williams. Super good and it didn't make it to the theaters but it was really great! and my favorite fruit is either strawberries or blackberries :)
LaurenSmash · July 03, 2007 at 12:15 PM
hey, have you ever seen "twin falls idaho"? i have a feeling you would like it. the guys who made that (the polish brothers) also made "northfork", it's also very good, kind of strange and obscure but in a good way.
ren · July 03, 2007 at 12:19 PM

Bente · July 03, 2007 at 12:27 PM
I highly recommend any of Wes Andersons films. He's my favorite director and his movies are amazing. They include Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic. They all are great.
Hali · July 03, 2007 at 12:27 PM
oh my, I just need this bag, affffff, well , my favorite fruit is mango, I love chocolate,and I have a little baby girl that is 4, named Sofia!kisses from Brazil
angela torres · July 03, 2007 at 12:28 PM
i am in love with blueberries with lemon juice and a light sprinkling of granulated sugar. whilst i watch Party Girl starring my fav Parker Posey!
heather · July 03, 2007 at 12:29 PM
Ooo... I LOVE the hedgehogs!
I have to recommend a couple of my all-time fav movies: Empire Records and Gross Point Blank.
Sarah · July 03, 2007 at 12:29 PM
I watched a pretty good movie this weekend called "I'll Cry Tomorrow," it was the story of Lillian Gish. Suan Hayward was the star - she's always good.
My favorite fruit is the blood orange. I don't know if it's so much because I like them, or because they're only out at certain times during the year.
chantal · July 03, 2007 at 12:32 PM
hey my comment got messed up. i posted this:I highly recommend any of Wes Andersons films. He's my favorite director and his movies are amazing. They include Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic. They all are great.
but it said someone else did! :(
Hali · July 03, 2007 at 12:34 PM
wait never mind. the name is UNDER the comment. i feel dumb.
Hali · July 03, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Emily!
Hedgies are awesome!! :)
I recommend "Rushmore" if you have a quirky offbeat sense of humor this movie will crack you up!!

Dandelions & Daisies Sue · July 03, 2007 at 12:43 PM
I recommend The Fountain, it has Rachel Wiesz and Hugh Jackman, I'm having an avocado taco (or AVOTACO as I call them) for lunch!
jill · July 03, 2007 at 12:44 PM
Hi, I found your blog pretty recently and have fast devoured the archives and become a regular. In fact I ordered two prints a few days ago! So excited!!!!! Anyway, a movie I would recommend is Bonnie and Clyde, who can resist a caper and young Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway? Not me. Favorite fruit? Must be grapefruit, strawberries, no, pluots the fruit of the future indeed.

deerdominique · July 03, 2007 at 12:57 PM
I'd recommend The Dreamers, It's a bit weird but a bit lovely at the same time!
Sophie · July 03, 2007 at 12:57 PM
Hello Miss. Emily,
The film I would like to reccomend to you is Nacho Libre starring the AMAZING Jack Black. Yes, I went there I reccomended a film which contains plenty of farting but trust me it is filled with so many discreet sprinkles of HALARIOUSNESS (I don't know if that is a word)that it makes the film brilliant which by the way is directed by the same director of Napolean Dynomite.
Mango.
Maria
Maria M. Arnold · July 03, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Go see "La Vie en Rose" if you haven't already. I loved it, and it was beautiful to watch.
chez shoes · July 03, 2007 at 01:01 PM
That tote is adorable! My favorite movie is Waiting For Guffman. I have seen it, like 45 times. It is simply, AWESOME!!! Also, my favorite fruit is strawberries. Have a fantastic fourth!
Gwen · July 03, 2007 at 01:08 PM
if you like ludicrous amounts of cuteness i would recomend fruits basket
erin · July 03, 2007 at 01:09 PM
mmmmmm red red cherries freshly washed in a blue pottery bowl, almost too pretty to eat but not quite ;-)
daisies · July 03, 2007 at 01:18 PM
I love the hedgies!
And if we are recommending what to watch may I suggest the zany and fun, cancelled too soon series "wonderfalls" (available via netfllix)
It was so fun, and too unique for mainstream television.
lillianna · July 03, 2007 at 01:19 PM
Heya :)
It's the first time I visit your blog - I saw it talked about at last night's Etsy talk. Congrats on having such a popular blog!
You should definitely have some Jamaican patties for lunch someday. With plantains. Mmhhmm. (just had some today). yum.
Jen · July 03, 2007 at 01:20 PM
My I recommend the classic "My Man Godfrey"? Delish!
Oh, and honey dew is currently in the top spot for fav fruit.
Kristen the Librarian · July 03, 2007 at 01:23 PM
love the tote bag:) let's see..favorite fruit..wild blackberries.
cyndi · July 03, 2007 at 01:23 PM
If you've never seen 'rivers and tides' it's a must...about andy goldsworthy the nature artist. it is absolutely beautiful, both the cinematography and the ideas presented.
katherine · July 03, 2007 at 01:29 PM
Gasp! :)
Sweetest Hedgies!
Film: Science of Sleep
A must see!
Mmmmm Avocadoes slay me!

Love your blog...ive been a frequent visitor...you have lots of fun stuff...hedgies are cute! I've never had an avocado. But i like mangoes....
********
Carolynn · July 03, 2007 at 01:39 PM
I recently saw "12 Angry Men", which was amazing. Just goes to show that a movie can be tense and dramatic without timely car explosions to keep things lively. Strawberries are my absolute favorite, mangoes a close second. ascorke@hotmail.com

Hello.... I'm reading the book "Tipping the Velvet" by Sarah Waters and it's quite good. Love your work and feel inspired when I visit. Thanks, Jessica
Jessica · July 03, 2007 at 02:06 PM
Favorite Movie: Rebel Without A Cause - Seriously, the best cast ever! And a young, handsome Dennis Hopper too!
Favorite fruit: Right now, it's raspberries.
Your blog is great, by the way. so darn crafty!
Rachel · July 03, 2007 at 02:10 PM
MY husband surprised me and got me one of the Hedgie sketch Books you had in the shop last week.It arrived today, I am super duper happy!!!!!Thank You!
Melissa · July 03, 2007 at 02:13 PM
I love cherries! and hedgies :)
Risa · July 03, 2007 at 02:15 PM
Hi cute girl!
By the way, I still have to e-mail you back. I wanted to wait until you returned from your trip, but then I got busy. Hmmm.
Anyways, I love both Wings of Desire and Mostly Martha.
And I love all fruit but especially mangos.
Hope that your having a happy happy, and I'll e-mail you soon!
me-nikk · July 03, 2007 at 02:15 PM
Hi Emily
I just got my Hedgie painting and my other goodies. I love them. Thank you.
I loved "Nancy Drew" even though it was flawed. I just watched "Volver" and that's my current favorite rental suggestion.
Wish me luck, I would love a present!
Paula
Paula Hackett · July 03, 2007 at 02:16 PM
film recommendation: monsoon wedding (i love the vibrant colors in this flick!)
favorite fruit: lychee (delish and fun to eat!)
Amy · July 03, 2007 at 02:17 PM
Me again
I can't believe someone said "Wings of Desire". I LOVE that movie. One of my first dates with my husband.
Paula Hackett · July 03, 2007 at 02:18 PM
You might enjoy "All about Lily Chou-Chou". New favorite summer snack: iced peach white tea and cherries. :D
Violet · July 03, 2007 at 02:25 PM
I was just about to recommend "Wings of Desire", when I saw that someone else got to it first, AND someone else commented about the movie. I guess you really need to see it! I don't know if they've already been mentioned, but I'll recommend "Punch-Drunk Love" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
Black raspberries are delicious right now, as are ranier cherries. I just made yummy jams - strawberry, cherry, and blueberry. Mmmm.
Melissa · July 03, 2007 at 02:25 PM
I'm loving the wild blackberries surrounding my house... and as for a film, I'd recommend Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... I loved that movie so much
Nada Jones · July 03, 2007 at 02:37 PM
You know i love the hedgehogs!!!! Let's see, my favorite fruit is cantalope, I love the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and I went out in the boat today!!

hey the tote is gorgeous! i've just ordered a hedgie t-shirt and can't wait to wear it around london :-)
Jules Evans · July 03, 2007 at 03:03 PM
Watch "The Science of Sleep," it is fantastic. Also, "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind." Pretty much anything by Michel Gondry is excellent.
Lizzz · July 03, 2007 at 03:05 PM
eternal sunshine is a wonderful movie, as are chocolat and pan's labyrinth. as for films not yet mentioned, i love east is east, stealing beauty, run lola run, cinema paradiso, and sliding doors.

Hello! my favourite fruit is avocado... avocadoes are fruit right? mmm guacamole...
Liz · July 03, 2007 at 03:19 PM
This is me saying hola chica, recommending "Stranger Than Fiction", and confessing my undying love for zucchini (which is technically a fruit. And if that doesn't count in your book and in fear of being disqualified due to our differences, then I declare mango as my fruit of choice.) *B
Beth · July 03, 2007 at 03:29 PM
Hello Emily,
All of your things are quite lovely, and I do admire the things that come to your mind! Strawberries are my favorite fruit (and are in abundance here in Southern California), and for a movie I would recommend- I suppose I would add Brick or perhaps Return to Me. Sometimes I watch Return to Me just to imagine myself in the middle of Minnie Driver's beautiful garden. Happy 4th of July!
Georgia · July 03, 2007 at 03:35 PM

i love my bag so very much that i would love to win a spare for when it gets a bit worn (ive been using it every day!)
hello hello!
and my fave fruit is currently pineapple I think. my currently fruity combo (as in fruity flavored things) is coconut lime--some day i will make cupcakes like this!

Have a fabulous day!

Veronica · July 03, 2007 at 04:26 PM
Hello!
I recommend this lovely film: Paperhouse. Here's the imdb blurb about it: "Anna is becoming lost in the loneliness of her own world when she discovers she can visit another, a house she has drawn herself and occupied by a young disabled boy. But as she discovers more of the links between her fantasy world and the mundane present, she is drawn only deeper into a dream turning into a nightmare."
"Ponette" is lovely as well.
Oh, and "While the Cat's Away," is quite good, too.
Fussbunny · July 03, 2007 at 04:31 PM
ok...
so i feel guilty of course posting for the first time because of the give-away, BUT when hedgehogs are concerned it is totally worth it! you see... they are my favorite animal. i even had one as a guest at our wedding :) I have to say, you have my favorite etsy shop & I can't wait to see the prints that I ordered last week! keep up the amazing work!
sarah · July 03, 2007 at 04:33 PM
These comments just reinforce why I love your blog -- because so many people have listed so many of my top ten favorite movies (bravo to all the Delicatessen lovers!) and so many others have made good recommendations that I will run, not walk, to the Netflix queue and add stuff to watch. Oh boy. There's just not enough time in the world.
As for my own recommendations? Uh, so many. How about two about novelists? "Stranger Than Fiction" was very good, way better than I expected, and I didn't see "Sex and Lucia" anywhere on here. That's an excellent Spanish movie about a novelist coming to terms with his own life, told from his girlfriend's perspective.
Alison Whittington · July 03, 2007 at 04:42 PM
what an adorable tote! so cute. my favorite movie is 'Little Miss Sunshine' but 'Sweet homr Alabama' is a cool chick flick. my favorite fruit is pineapple. although I don't like it as much as before I got pregnant. still yummy though
brittanie · July 03, 2007 at 05:00 PM
Clementines! I just picked up my first batch for the year yesterday.
And I'll second (or third or fourth...) whoever recommended any Wes Anderson movies!
DancingFish · July 03, 2007 at 05:02 PM
Raspberries. And "Grease." I'd love a hedgie bag! Thanks for the fun contest.
Amy · July 03, 2007 at 05:09 PM
Emily,
I thought you would enjoy seeing my family picture wall, with a friend of yours included. I thought it was a fun way to mix up all the family photos & include some art portraits

Hiya, "Love that Boy" is a great film, full of crafty eye candy goodness. I had a different hedgie bag, and I wore it out with love :) And I like blueberries.
Sara · July 03, 2007 at 05:23 PM
Just too sweet of you to do all of these give-aways! I'll enter again! Oh, my very favorite fruit are apricots, and well, I haven't seen any great movies lately. My favorite old-timey movie is The Apartment...(but I'm sure you've already seen it.)
amanda bel · July 03, 2007 at 05:27 PM
I have a newfound love for hedgehogs thanks to Cute Overload!

I recommend Vipere au Poing because I got to be an extra in it! Love these totes :)
Cat · July 03, 2007 at 05:45 PM
I just love tangerines. I plan on making tangerine ice cream this weekend. And they're really good on waffles, too! My husband prefers peaches, but tangerines have way more sass!
Amy · July 03, 2007 at 06:02 PM
i love watermelons

Angels and Insects is one of my favorites. and yes, like everyone else, I love your adorable hedgehogs.
Rachel · July 03, 2007 at 07:29 PM
Miss Emily, for you I ABSOLUTELY suggest the "Umbrellas of Cherbourg". The style is impeccable, and the color, nuance and subject is heart wrenching. I hope even tho I am around #330, you still read this and see the film. My favorite fruit might be boring, but it's the Watermelon. And boy howdy am I eating a lot of it right now!! I don't like it when it is mealy, ick. But the best days ever end with a watermelon seed spitting fight while sitting on the front porch. And by the way, I get some hard earned money next week, and I'm gonna walk my booty across the street from where I work in Portland and spend some of it in Seaplane. I'll keep you posted.
cheriwan · July 03, 2007 at 07:31 PM
i'm crazy about odd fruits. like dragonfruits, which are bright pink and spiky, and durians, which smell absolutely disgusting, and gooseberries, which are like armoured grapes.
something else i'm crazy about is your blog, since i'm never fast enough to snag the things i love from your etsy shop, and seeing them photographed ever so nicely on your blog is a close second. and no, i'm not just flattering you in the hopes that it'll give me good karma and help me win that bag. although if it does, that's good too, but i just thought i might as well, since i'm delurking anyway.
rachel · July 03, 2007 at 07:54 PM
Me me me! I definitely recommend Sicko. I LOVE your stuff!
Tasha · July 03, 2007 at 07:58 PM
the tales of beatrix potter as danced by the royal ballet. in the opening scenes a hedgie is doing her laundry and you will swear your childhhood dream of being shrunk down and invited to see the domestic yet mysterious lives of timid forest creatures has come true:)
esther croak · July 03, 2007 at 08:12 PM
this is just to say...i have eaten the plums....
plums are my favorite fruit!
hey emily, i always look and never order. but i just bought a house and would love to have a print or two (or three)...unfortunately the adorable fruit girls wouldn't go in my coffee kitchen. do you think you would ever paint a lovely girl that also somehow involves coffee?? the book girl is one of my faves. thanks so much!
blake · July 03, 2007 at 08:22 PM
Favourite fruit would have to be dragonfruit.
Favourite movie is Labyrinth although I twitch a little upon saying this because LOTR is a fantastic movie.
Weirdest thing I saw today. A woman walking two dogs and pushing a pram. In the pram was a pug. Perhaps his legs were to little to keep up with the other two.
Cheers
:)
Smirkle · July 03, 2007 at 08:22 PM

Caroline · July 03, 2007 at 08:58 PM
Adorable little hedgie tote bag!
Okay, here's my film recommendation: The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover.
It's a little on the odd side, and has a few disturbing scenes so be warned. That said it's a beautiful film. Lots of great colors. And the clothing changes colors when the actors walk from one part of the restaurant to another. Oh, and Jean-Paul Gaultier did the costumes. Released in 1990 in the USA, but a French film.
Lemon Tree Tales · July 03, 2007 at 09:03 PM
Hi there!!! I really enjoy your blog and your etsy store :)
I would love the little hedgehogs tote :) It's so cute!!!

I work in a home visiting program with teen moms and first time parents. I go out into the home and have to be on my toes with the teens- they love the various totes I use and would adore seeing the hedgies! Thanks for the chance!
Casey Kochan · July 03, 2007 at 10:04 PM
Whale Rider is a really good movie. Okay, so maybe I had a dad like her grandpa, and okay, maybe he really did want a boy--but regardless of whether you can relate or not, it's a good movie!
And dried mango is very, very good!
Jennifer · July 03, 2007 at 10:20 PM
Super dee duper cute tote!
Nadia Lewis · July 03, 2007 at 10:37 PM
I love your paintings Emily! If you haven't already, you have to watch Harold and Maude. Best movie ever. Ooh and The Lady Eve (Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda). And listen to Shooting Star by Bob Dylan.
Wendy · July 03, 2007 at 10:53 PM
I recommend "Perfume - the story of a murderer" it's a little bizarre but an excellent movie :D
Niina · July 03, 2007 at 11:03 PM
Wowee Emily! The chances are not good but I am not playing thinking I will win! What, no more haiku requests? Movies and fruit are so easy. Let's see...that Tilda Swinton movie Orlando is a good one. Mango, maybe.
Helen · July 03, 2007 at 11:21 PM
Check out Two Hands (with a young(er) Heath Ledger.
Also, my favourite film of all time: Running on Empty.
Georgia · July 03, 2007 at 11:22 PM
It's a tie between ligonberries and blood oranges!
I hope I win, I love those hedgies, especially the ones in berets!
Cirilia · July 03, 2007 at 11:23 PM
Oh wow look at this! So many great movie suggestions. Here's a great old black and white flick for you - Sullivan's Travels. The main character in it dreams of making a movie called "O Brother Where Art Thou", so it's kind of fun to see where that came from. And you have to love Veronica Lake calling Joel McRea a "big fathead" and pushing him in the pool.
For a tv series, I loved House of Eliot.
Just got my hedgie t-shirt in the mail from you today and I love it!
Heather · July 03, 2007 at 11:26 PM

Hello there! I love banana fritters! It's taken at tea time in Malaysia and comes with a dipping sauce too. It's best taken with "teh tarik" or sweetened tea that's "pulled" so it'll foam.

what a lovely tote!
and lots of movies to catch up on too: one of my favourite flicks would have to be Amateur ...or maybe The Princess Bride for a big laugh.

I love this!!! I love the tote! I love tomatoes with a vengeance. I'm talking a VENGEANCE. I haven't seen it yet but I'm dying to & you should be too: Across the Universe.
Happy 4th of July day!

The film Raising Arizona and some nice juicy canteloupe should make for a happy evening. :]

Favorite fruit: Rare wild black raspberries

Cause I dont think enough Sarahs have won your beautiful things, Im adding my name. Then Im going to eat Strawberries, dipped in whipped cream, with another dip into smashed toffee. Just because I can.

Ok, so I'm a horrible person for only commenting when presents were involved but, Hi! I'm Lauren. I'm a craft blog reader and attempter of many crafts (though I'm not so great at it. Ah, well, I'm working on it).
I love your blog, your artwork is always so cute. I'm just far too lazy to ever comment the many blogs I read.
Lauren · July 04, 2007 at 04:42 AM
hi.. im sheri... i love your work... and a great movie to see is MIRRORMASK!
sheri leseberg · July 04, 2007 at 05:29 AM
Shouldn't be missed.. Baz Lurhmans version of 'Romeo & Juliet' if the story doesn't appeal, the costumes most certainly will! Thanks for keeping such a inspirational blog!

One of my favorite movies is Immortal Beloved, a fictional movie about Beethovan, played by Gary Oldman...awesome movie.
Asha · July 04, 2007 at 08:10 AM

hi- i'm going for the pity vote. i'm sick for the 4th of july. i hate having colds during the summer. anyway, i've been a harry potter watching fool gearing up for number 5. thanks for the contest and for sharing all you do!

Tote bags = awesome.
Shortbus = awesomest movie.
Pears = most consistently awesome fruit.
Jess · July 04, 2007 at 05:28 PM
I can HIGHLY recommend Brief Encounter. It's an old black and white with Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson. It's very English and has to be watched in front of a log fire with a big pot of tea and a slab of your favourite chocolate.
Alison · July 04, 2007 at 06:34 PM
I've recently bought your cameo pin and very looking forward to put it on my favourite dress!
I also hope to win this cute tote bag..
My favourite film is any Indian bollywood films! I know they are made as films but they look so happy when they are dancing and singing which always makes me smile!
My favourite fruit is mango. They melt my brain..

i'm trying not to overcomment, but i just saw that someone recommended perfume-the story af a murderer. i was wondering if that person read the book/knew there was a book. the book was quite disturbing, and i have the movie at the top of my netflix list! can't wait til it is sent out!

Wow. 381 comments. Oh wait, now it's 382.

The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy is hilarious! I LOVE green apples
becky · July 04, 2007 at 11:44 PM
persimmon. also a favourite word, but the fruit is delicious in it's own right. and pretty all orange and shiny hanging on a bare tree- actually I may be slightly in love.
Meryl · July 05, 2007 at 05:14 AM
My favourite films are those by Wes Anderson. Though I still haven't seen Bottlerocket. Every time I feel tired and sad I was The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I wish Steve Zissou was my dad. I'd like to live in a subrmarine with a library and an editing suite and a sauna.

Berkshire County in Massachusetts is beautiful this time of year.
Favorite fruits: Mangos and pomegranates
Guilty Pleasure: Buttons (I'm a jewelry artist)
I love your blog!
Stephanita · July 05, 2007 at 02:19 PM
Chocolate ice cream is my favorite fruit. Oh. Okay. Cake, then. The five-pound mangos they grow here in West Africa are right up there too.
I rarely get to choose the movies lately, but of the movies that I have been forced to overhear ad nauseum, I have to say I never get sick of Annie, the 80's version, or Mary Poppins, and I think that says a lot for a movie, if you still like it after seeing it a million times. I really love the movie Dr. Zhivago, but I don't know if can pass that test.
