My Name is Eloise…

I am Six.

I am a city kid.

I live at the Plaza Hotel.

I love Eloise.

She was created in 1955 by Kay Thompson.

She was so wonderfully brought to life by Hilary Knight.

“Pink. It’s a way of Life.”

As you can tell from this original illustration Pink was the only color used in the books.

Have I told you I LOVE the 1950’s!

Every thing about Eloise is wonderful!

Her room!

It’s Pink!

Her dog

Weenie is the best dog in the world!

Eloise is a girl who knows what she likes and what she wants and she is determined that everyone else will have what they want and like too!

I want to be Eloise!

Happy Pink Saturday!

ps The girl who played Eloise, Sofia Vassilieva, was the oldest daughter in “My Sister’s Keeper! “

And

Happy Spring!!!

  4. Hi Lisa...

    My daughter loved the Eloise movie..... There were a few lines in that got repeated over and over. She's a comedian like that. :-)

    I just "read" "My Sister's Keeper"......well, sort of read, I listened to it in my car. Try driving through a sloppy cry! It was soooo sad.

    Happy Spring to you too! Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Weekend too.

    Hugs,
    Spencer

  11. Hello, sweet friend,
    I have never read this book. As a former school teacher, you think I would have. I am going to check it out from my former school library and also try to see the movie. I love things with happy endings. I hope you have the loveliest of weekends! Vicki

  12. Fabulous! These books are new to me - what a fun character, and I just love the style of illustration as well. I'll have to see if our local library has them. Happy Pink Saturday!

  17. Hi Lisa :)

    Oh, Eloise! I never read the books but was able to watch Disney's Eloise and it was fun! If I had a little girl she would be watching it with me :)

    Have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!
