Nesting: It’s a Chick Thing
KSh700.00
Check it out–the Chicks are back. Authors of It’s a Chick Thing, with 110,000 copies in print–“A must book for the reader who knows that chicks rule” (Publishers Weekly), “a smart and sassy compilation” (Chicago Tribune)–Ame Mahler Beanland and Emily Miles Terry celebrate chicks nesting, or what it means to have a home filled with laughter, good friends, lovingly prepared foods and crafts, all with personal style.
Seasoned with attitude and packed with stories, history, how-tos, quips, advice, recipes, folklore, and crafts, Nesting is all about finding personal style and showing it off, putting an entirely fresh, it’s-a-chick-thing spin on entertaining, decorating, cooking, and gardening. In “Chicks and Chow,” the food chapter, there are unexpected stories by M.F.K. Fisher, Ruth Reichl, and Erma Bombeck; a Spice, Spice Baby! guide to spices; sixteen recipes for great Chicktails; and Towels That Snap Back (how to make personalized dish towels). “Flocking Together {hen parties and sassy soirees}” has Sally Quinn on being a guest while in labor; Ina Garton’s “The Worst Party I Ever Had”; the How to Be a Hostess Cupcake guide to party girl preparedness; Upper, Lower, and No-Crust hors d’oeuvres; Monotony Killers; and decorating inspiration from Elsie de Wolfe: “I believe in plenty of optimism and white paint.”
Nesting is totally un-Martha in its approach–it’s easy, it’s light, it’s like your best friends hanging out and offering advice with a quip–and it’s illustrated throughout with hilarious retro photos and illustrations.

How to ROAR: Pet Loss Grief Recovery
KSh800.00Robin Jean Brown understands firsthand the deep bond that can develop between person and animal. She’s not some cold psychologist, but rather a pet owner herself who dealt with her own painful journey through the grieving process. She found that there wasn’t a lot of help for her. Other books are either too cold and clinical…or they’re too sad, and just make you cry harder. And none of them had workbook-style questions to guide her through her journey.
So Robin wrote the guide herself – to deal with your grief, effectively and step by step. She is personal, empathetic, and comforting – yet at the same time she’ll help you move through your grief. Her special book will introduce you to a revolutionary way of coping with pet loss. Robin developed and delicately refined a 4 step technique for coping with pet loss that she coined “ROAR”.
