Though exciting and excellent and many things wonderful, Manhattan on the flip side is the capital of stress. We only report to you on the positive and do not publish on the negative (but be aware, there are negative people with matching taste we unfortunately meet and poor ideas so we could not wait to open this book up!)
We are constantly looking for relaxing activities for our overworked, overtired and generally frazzled audience that needs to enjoy itself!
One of the biggest trends right now that we endorse is the adult coloring book. We are not trendy people, but as you should know, the coloring book concept is a classic one that you should love.
The adult coloring book is not unlike the kind you knew when you were a kid.
In fact, when you consider that adults colored with you, this is not such a new concept, however Peachy has not colored herself in many years, and not as an adult before now. As the first of her generation, she colored with adults exclusively to start with and has so always thought it's normal for adults to color.
As you know, we are pretty excited about the upcoming Grammy awards and have been and continue to be honored to work with The Recording Academy. Today, we put up the picture of Peachy and her Grammy. What this picture does not show you is how much Peachy and her Grammy used to love to COLOR (also Mickey, seen here who liked to help coloring). They'd open up a coloring book and each would do one side, left or right and of course the color green was the most important because they are ALL IRISH, and seriously, what could be more important. When FAO Schwartz closed last year, Peachy bought some of the last remaining Crayolas (markers. Sadly the crayons were sold out and honestly, the marker colors are not as classic and good. If you make crayons we want to hear from you...)...and they just sat here. Until, The Little Book of Calm Coloring showed up.
We like the designs and style of this book, and it is a convenient size to take with you and pop in your bag. We would prefer the traditional bigger size...Peachy had quite the collection many years ago and this is the first adult one she's acquired. It is relaxing, especially when you add wine or Star Vodka for the F. Scott Fitzgerald in you. This is definitely an individual book as the side to color is on the right and the quotes of inspiration are on the left. These are all designs and not literal pictures to color in. We would definitely recommend this for inbetween periods of hockey games and for halftime of soccer and football games, especially if your blood pressure is going up as a result of the play happening.
The Little Book of Calm Coloring is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
Chill out and stay warm inside!
