After shopping the market for years, Rachel had come to love the tiny Texas town’s welcoming vibe. It was the search for such treasures that first led Rachel to Round Top, TX, home of the biannual Round Top Antiques Fair (this year’s takes place from March 27 to April 1)-and now, The Prairie, Rachel’s own bed and breakfast. Today, although her reach is global (the brand has stores from Texas to Tokyo), Rachel’s approach is very much still rooted in the personal-and particularly, in her very hands-on approach to sourcing vintage pieces, which lend one-of-a-kind character to her shops and often inspire new designs for the Rachel Ashwell line. When Rachel Ashwell opened her first Shabby Chic store in Santa Monica, CA, in 1989, she had little idea that her collection of relaxed slipcovered furniture and perfectly worn vintage accessories would become synonymous with an entire generation’s decorating style.

Leaving school grounds without permission is a major rule violation, of course, but at least Miles had a good excuse, though he couldn’t actually admit it. It is a special day for Miles as it marks the end of his suspension from school for leaving school without permission after his history teacher twice rejected his request to visit the restroom.

And at home, her workaholic father has become even more distant.ĭetermined to regain her social status and prove herself to her father, Trudy looks toward the biggest thing happening worldwide: the Beatles. Her best friend, Michelle, has decided to become a cheerleader, everyone at school is now calling her Gertrude (her hated real name), and the gem of her middle school career, the Beatles fan club, has dwindled down to only three other members-the least popular kids at school. The Vietnam War rages overseas, the Beatles have catapulted into stardom, and twelve-year-old Rhode Island native Trudy Mixer is not thrilled with life. What emerges is a sincere and funny story of growing up, making unexpected connections, and following your dreams even as the world in front of you-and the world at large-is changing too fast.

Jenae: Tears of the Kingdom, for those unaware, is the direct sequel to 2017's mega hit Breath of the Wild, and it's easily the most anticipated Nintendo Switch game this year, maybe even the past *several* years. |
