Amélie, ou Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, has to be one of my favourite films ever. And it has a fabulous soundtrack.

Here's a photograph of my front door's peephole. Indeed, I may have watched Amélie one too many times while scrubbing my flat this weekend. My Saturday was spent with beautiful french dialogue, airy open windows, pink ginger limeade, scissors, card stock, and a deep red sharpie.If you nest and play in the Bay Area, I have news: The French American Cultural Society is teaming up with the San Fra..
