<br /><br />
Sometimes our lives intersect with people, with places, and with stories in unexplainable ways. These moments can feel like manifestations of serendipity, unexpected occurrences in life that bring us untold joy. <br /><br />
Earlier this week, my husband and I went out to dinner, and I experienced one of these unusual moments. We were walking down a beautiful staircase lined with books. I was admiring the design of the room and the old book covers. As I walked along, there was an old copy of <i><a href="https://www.worldofanneshirley.com/2022/02/the-golden-road.html">The Golden Road</a></i> by L.M. Montgomery directly in front of me. Although I was scanning the shelves, I wasn't looking to find any book or author in particular. But somehow this book found me. <br /><br />
I stopped and stared at the book's blue spine for a moment. As I pulled my phone out of my purse to snap a photo, I called my husband back and pointed to the book. He looked at the book in surprise and bewilderment, asking me, "How did you find it?" I didn't have an answer. I hadn't been looking. Montgomery just tends to find me at various moments, on sometimes significant days, and in improbable places around the world. I'm left in wonder at the reason.

<br /><br>
During a recent visit to a bookshop, a tin of specialty <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> tea caught my attention. It's called "Anne of Green Tea Gables" by <a href="https://novelteatins.com/" target="_blank">NovelTeas</a>. The company produces a delightful library of punny teas for book lovers that include "Pekoe Pan," "Pippi Oolongstocking," and "Oliver Lemon Twist." The Anne-inspired tea is a green tea flavored with raspberry pieces and orange peel.
You can purchase it <a href="https://novelteatins.com/products/anne-of-green-tea-gables-premium-tin" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />
Here's the charming description of the tea by NovelTeas: <br /><br />
"Guaranteed to be non-alcoholic, eternally optimistic and not get you into trouble. Our blend will romance you away to Avonlea and the world L. M. Montgomery brought to life through the eyes of Anne Shirley."<br /><br />
What a fun concept. Aren't books and tea a perfect match? Would you like to try Anne of Green Tea Gables? I think I'd like to try "Don QuixoTea - Man of La ManChai" myself. <br /><br />

<br /><br />
I love visiting bookstores and spending time browsing the shelves for new things to read. I'm sure I share this trait with many other fans of <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>. Last fall, while wandering around in a bookshop, I saw this pair of delightful Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe bookmarks by <a href="https://pagepetal.com/" target="_blank">Page Petal</a>.
<br /><br />
Page Petal makes handmade, pressed flower bookmarks featuring literary characters, fictional TV characters, and celebrities. They have bookmarks for fans of <i>Little Women</i>, <i>Harry Potter</i>, <i>The Gilmore Girls</i>, Barbie, Taylor Swift, and more.<br /><br />
The company makes three <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> bookmarks featuring <a href="https://pagepetal.com/products/anne-shirley" target="_blank">Anne Shirley</a>, <a href="https://pagepetal.com/products/gilbert-blythe" target="_blank">Gilbert Blythe</a>, and <a href="https://pagepetal.com/products/diana-barry" target="_blank">Diana Barry</a>. There's also an <a href="https://pagepetal.com/products/anne-of-green-gables-collection" target="_blank"><i>Anne of Green Gables</i> bookmark collection</a> that includes all three bookmarks. <br /><br />
Here's how Page Petal describes the characters: <br /><br />
"Anne: Passionate, stubborn, loyal, intelligent, an articulate chatterbox. Embodying her loving and imaginative nature, the Anne Shirley bookmark is made to add a bit of wonder and whimsy to your page." <br /><br />
"Gilbert. Keenly intelligent, and demonstrates a sense of patience and devotion. Handmade with love, the Gilbert Blythe Bookmark is inspired by his passion and curiosity." <br /><br />
"Diana is a kind and sweet girl. She's polite and versed in social etiquette. Loyal and diplomatic." <br /><br />
<img alt="Gilbert Blythe Page Petal Bookmarks" border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcRxEMA119-5sqoGMcwTVMaIVb_THLqoIHeFkKr73qI3TFforgTtS6gepd2uHnm5bqxR8_nhUklNNWIGr7eGloP-fjBAwYNOp8vVKnOvKal6egroeSxJT-N3aWSkJTCcZUvucNjD_U9-akAbG7aoE_DooX5GZ3aVtzSqglnPVO3Lf9N4bSkBQXnj7IRM4R/s16000/GilbertBlythePagePetalBookmarks.jpg" title="Gilbert Blythe Page Petal Bookmarks" />
<br /><br />On another visit, the pressed flowers in the Gilbert Blythe bookmark were different. This time they were yellow. <br /><br />In person, I couldn't recognize the pressed flowers. There was no description about how the flowers chosen were associated with the characters. The website does not list the flower types or explain the association either. <br /><br />
Personally, I associate certain specific flowers with Anne, Diana, and Gilbert, and I think flowers play a crucial role in several important scenes in the book.<br /><br />What do you think of the bookmarks? Do you think the flowers chosen represent Anne, Gilbert, and Diana?<br /><br />

<blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">"Marilla, isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"</span> </h2></blockquote><br />
The new year is a time for reflection and renewal. It provides an opportunity to turn over a new leaf, dream big, set goals, and make changes. Everything feels fresh, and the world is full of possibilities. <br /><br />
Anne Shirley felt this way with each new day. She didn’t have to wait for the new year to begin. Instead, Anne started her mornings with those feelings of freshness and renewal. <br /><br />
In <i><a href="https://www.worldofanneshirley.com/2021/03/anne-of-green-gables-novel.html">Anne of Green Gables</a></i>, Anne feels disgraced after baking Mrs. Allan a cake that she flavored with liniment instead of vanilla. Anne lamented, "I shall always be pointed at as the girl who flavored a cake with anodyne liniment." Mrs. Allan comforts Anne saying, "My dear little girl, you mustn’t cry like this...Why, it’s all just a funny mistake that anybody might make." Anne responds forlornly, "Oh, no, it takes me to make such a mistake." After they talk more, Mrs. Allan helps turn things around so that Anne finds some enjoyment in the evening. <br /><br />
Later, Anne tells Marilla, "Marilla, isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" The ever-practical Marilla responds, "I’ll warrant you’ll make plenty in it...I never saw your beat for making mistakes, Anne." <br /><br />
In <i><a href="https://www.worldofanneshirley.com/2021/03/anne-of-avonlea.html">Anne of Avonlea</a></i>, Anne arrives home at Green Gables after a hard day teaching. She recounts her day to Marilla who listens to the whole story. Marilla responds by quoting Anne’s old words back to her: "Well, never mind. This day’s done and there’s a new one coming tomorrow, with no mistakes in it yet, as you used to say yourself. Just come downstairs and have your supper. You’ll see if a good cup of tea and those plum puffs I made today won’t hearten you up." <br /><br />
At first, Anne cannot take Marilla’s words to heart, and she responds, "Plum puffs won’t minister to a mind diseased." But, in the end, Marilla’s words and her delicious plum puffs worked wonders, and Anne did hearten up over their cheerful supper. Then Anne "had a good sleep that night and awakened in the morning to find herself and the world transformed." <br /><br />
As she got dressed for the new day, Anne sings, <br /><br />
<i>"Every morn is a fresh beginning, <br />
Every morn is the world made new,"</i> <br /><br />
Anne Shirley believed that the world could transform over night. Isn’t it nice to think of a new, fresh day with no flaws, blunders, or misunderstandings? No matter how bad a mistake might feel, one can start fresh and begin again tomorrow. <br />

<br />I keep running across <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>-themed items in bookstores lately. They seem to be everywhere. Last night, I saw this cool <a href="https://amzn.to/3LepLdi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bibliophile pencil set</a> featuring literary quotes by Chronicle Books. It features the art of Jane Mount. It's a set of ten pencils with the green one featuring a quote from <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>: "Tomorrow is a new day, with no mistakes in it yet." <br /><br />The other nine pencils feature quotes from <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, <i>Little Women</i>, <i>The Three Musketeers</i>, <i>A Tale of Two Cities</i>, <i>The Art of War</i>, <i>Moby Dick</i>, <i>Frankenstein</i>, <i>The Prophet</i>, and <i>The Marrow of Tradition</i> <br /><br />
I'm tempted to buy a set.

<br /><br />This week, I finished reading a book called <a href="https://amzn.to/3RcjMd2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>You Will Find Your People: How to Make Meaningful Friendships as an Adult</i></a> by Lane Moore. She's a writer, musician and comedian. <br /><br />Having moved this summer, and feeling lonely in general, I thought the book might be helpful to me. I’m always searching for kindred spirits and hoping for that ideal bosom friendship depicted in L.M. Montgomery’s <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>. I think that this belief in true and lasting friendship is a common bond shared by people who love the <i>Anne</i> series. What I didn’t know when I started reading <i>You Will Find Your People</i> is that its author Lane Moore loves and identifies with Anne Shirley too and that Anne would turn up in her book. <br /><br />
In Chapter 2, Moore talks about Anne Shirley and Diana Barry’s friendship as being an exception to the general categories of female friendship depicted in the media. She writes: <br /><br /><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">
"There are of course so many beautiful exceptions in pop culture. Particularly, Anne Shirley and Diana Barry's lifelong, deeply devoted, Platonic Soulmates friendship in <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>. (Though, their friendship is arguably two people who are totally in love with each other, and I will forever stand by this correct assumption, but that's for another book.) But if such a Platonic Soulmate exists, where do you find that devotion that sees you through adolescence, into adulthood, into marriages and kids and moving and new careers? Where do you find that magical, poetic friendship where you both grow on parallel tracks—even if they're not the same tracks exactly—into people who still connect deeply, not only as the people you once were, but also as the people you're constantly becoming?" <br /></div><br />
I wonder that too, where do you find that truest of friendships depicted in <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>? Sometimes I’ve wondered if this type of friendship really exists or if it’s simply fiction, but I still hope it’s something real and attainable. <br /><br />
Later on in the book, in Chapter 14, which is titled, "Friend Breakups: How to Know When to Leave, How to Do It, and How to Cope with the Grief," Lane Moore begins the chapter with a quote from L.M. Montgomery’s novel: <br /><br /><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">
Even though we meet as strangers now I still love her with an inextinguishable love. <br />
-Anne Shirley, <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> <br /></div><br />Anne's statement really captures the grief when a friendship feels lost.<br /><br />
After finishing the book, I read a beautiful essay where Lane Moore talks about friendship and <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> called, <a href="https://www.powells.com/post/original-essays/i-want-a-bosom-friendship-like-anne-shirley-and-diana-barry" target="_blank">"I Want a Bosom Friendship Like Anne Shirley and Diana Barry."</a> She wrote the essay for Powell’s Books Blog on April 25, 2023. (Until just a couple months ago, I used to live a few blocks from Powell’s). Moore's essay is really lovely, and I think any fan of <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> should read it. <br /><br />
Moore writes about her lifelong goal, saying, "For me, I want a bosom friendship like Anne Shirley and Diana Barry from <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> more than just about anything in this world." She writes, "When I was a kid, I would read Lucy Maude Montgomery's words describing bosom friends, which boiled down this very romantic sentiment: two people who were absolutely platonic while at the same time being absolutely soulmates." She continues, saying, "I knew I wanted bosom friends. I wanted friends who I could be openly romantic with, maybe a little dramatic with, and also extremely silly with, who I could get drunk on cherry cordials with…" <br /><br />
I love her description of Anne and Diana’s friendship: "Their friendship was about full acceptance and full support of each other. In the face of cruel classmates, and a frustrating world, Anne had Diana's back and Diana had hers just the same." <br /><br />No wonder so many of us long for a friendship like theirs.<br /><br /><br />
Moore has also mentioned <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> in the following interviews. Check them out: <br /><br />

<br /><br /><blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">"'My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.' That’s a sentence I read in a book once, and I say it over to comfort myself whenever I’m disappointed in anything."</span> </h2></blockquote><br />
As a lonely orphan, Anne Shirley finds solace in books. Reading provides her with comfort and room to explore, learn, and grow. We learn about Anne's love of words, stories, and books early on in the novel <i><a href="https://www.worldofanneshirley.com/2021/03/anne-of-green-gables-novel.html">Anne of Green Gables</a></i>. <br /><br />
In Chapter 5, Marilla has decided to take Anne back to Mrs. Spencer. She expects that Anne will be returned to the asylum in Nova Scotia. Aware of her fate, Anne decides that she will still enjoy the buggy ride to Mrs. Spencer’s home. Anne looks around and sees beauty in an early wild rose and comments on how the color pink is "bewitching." <br /><br />
When Anne asks Marilla if she ever knew anyone whose hair was red when she was young that changed to a different color when she grew up, Marilla coldly dashes Anne’s hopes. Anne then quotes a sentence she read once telling Marilla, "Well, that is another hope gone. 'My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.' That’s a sentence I read in a book once, and I say it over to comfort myself whenever I’m disappointed in anything." <br /><br />
Marilla is prosaic. She doesn’t see anything comforting in Anne’s quote. Anne explains that she finds the words, "nice and romantic, just as if I were a heroine in a book." Anne's imagination saves her and comforts her and provides her with hope when things are dark. <br /><br />
Just as Anne finds comfort in stories, quotes, and reading, the readers of <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> find comfort in L.M. Montgomery’s creation. Anne Shirley is a character who somehow brings comfort and joy to readers everywhere. <br /><br />

My brother got me a sweet gift for Christmas. It's an <a href="https://amzn.to/3RaadsV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Anne of Green Gables</i> jigsaw puzzle</a>. The image is from the <a href="https://www.worldofanneshirley.com/2002/03/anne-of-green-gables-1979-aka-akage-no-an.html">anime <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> series (<i>Akage no An</i>, 1979)</a>, which was produced as part of Nippon Animation's World Masterpiece Theater series. The pretty painted scene shows Anne Shirley and Diana Barry sitting together and talking in an apple orchard. If you want one too, you can purchase the 1014-piece puzzle <a href="https://amzn.to/3RaadsV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.

<br />In December, NEOWIZ, a South Korean online game developer and publisher, <a href="https://twitter.com/NEOWIZWest/status/1600949503271784449?cxt=HHwWgsDS3enF27csAAAA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">announced the soft launch</a> of a mobile app called "Oh my Anne." It’s a mobile game based on the <a href="https://www.worldofanneshirley.com/2021/03/anne-of-green-gables-novel.html"><i>Anne of Green Gables</i></a> series by L.M. Montgomery. "Oh my Anne" has launched in Canada and in select regions so far, and the global launch of the game will soon follow. It will be available on iOS and Android.<br /><br />
It's a game about Anne Shirley's time in Avonlea. The player helps unlock chapters as Anne brings warmth to Green Gables and to Anne's loved ones. Through the game, Anne develops relationships with the townspeople of Avonlea. The story follows Anne through moments of friendship, romance, and sorrow. The gameplay also involves match games and makeover/renovation elements where the player collects dresses for Anne and helps her clean and renovate Green Gables. <br /><br />
Here are a couple of screenshots of the game from <a href="https://twitter.com/NEOWIZWest/status/1600949503271784449?cxt=HHwWgsDS3enF27csAAAA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NEOWIZ's announcement</a> on twitter:<br /><br />

The artwork and animation look so lovely. I'm curious about "Oh my Anne." and I hope to be able to check it out soon. Has any reader downloaded the game?

I ran across the cutest <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/885824416/anne-of-green-gables-quote-pencils-gift" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Anne of Green Gables</i> literary quote pencils</a> today. It's a set of six #2 HB pencils featuring the following quotes by L.M. Montgomery's classic novel:<br /><br /><blockquote style="text-align: left;"><h2>
<span style="color: #e69138;">MAPLES ARE SUCH SOCIABLE TREES<br />I LOVE BRIGHT RED DRINKS, DON’T YOU?<br />I HAVE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF DIMPLES.<br />PLEASE CALL ME ANNE WITH AN 'E."<br />IT’S DELIGHTFUL TO HAVE AMBITIONS.<br />I’M IN THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR.</span><br /></h2></blockquote>
<br />I think they'd inspire me to write a poem or story like Anne's "Averil's Atonement." What about you?

<br />
<br />Today, a digital exhibition launched called <a href="https://annemanuscript.ca/" target="_blank">"<i>The Anne of Green Gables</i> Manuscript: L.M. Montgomery and the Creation of Anne"</a> that features a digitized version of L.M. Montgomery's original handwritten manuscript for <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>. Fans of <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> can explore the text to see L.M. Montgomery's writing process and analyze how she developed the story.<br /><br />
Check out the exhibit at: <a href="https://annemanuscript.ca/" target="_blank">annemanuscript.ca</a>

Here's the <a href="https://confederationcentre.com/news/digital-exhibition-anne-manuscript/" target="_blank">press release</a> for the exhibit by the Confederation Centre of the Arts:<br /><br />
<i>January 19, 2023 – For the first time ever, L.M. Montgomery’s original manuscript of Anne of Green Gables is available to readers everywhere through a new digital exhibition.<br /><br />
The Anne of Green Gables Manuscript: L.M. Montgomery and the Creation of Anne officially launched online today. The digital exhibition will allow people to explore Montgomery’s original text, see what was written on the back of pages, and find out how famous moments were developed or revised. The interactive website includes never-before-seen material, such as Montgomery’s publishing contract for the novel.<br /><br />
“Visitors can pore over every pen stroke – there are bits of short story drafts and heavily scratched out passages that just beg for one to zoom in. We have also added hundreds of photo and video annotations to learn from,” says Dr. Emily Woster, an L.M. Montgomery scholar who curated the exhibition. “This is a celebration of Montgomery’s creative process, and we invite scholars and fans alike to explore the site and trace the origins of Anne.”<br /><br />
The high-quality digitization of the manuscript gives visitors a unique opportunity to learn about the author and Prince Edward Island, and reflect on Anne’s legacy in print, on screen, and on stage – including the nearly 60-year history of Anne of Green Gables–The Musical™ at The Charlottetown Festival.<br /><br />
The digital exhibition is presented by Confederation Centre of the Arts, the University of Prince Edward Island’s Robertson Library and L.M. Montgomery Institute, and developed with funding from the Digital Museums Canada investment program. The Digital Museums Canada investment program helps build digital capacity in Canadian museums and heritage organizations and gives Canadians unique access to diverse stories and experiences. Digital Museums Canada is managed by the Canadian Museum of History, with the financial support of the Government of Canada.<br /><br />
The history of the novel dates back to the summer of 1905, when Montgomery began writing Anne’s story in the kitchen of her home in Cavendish. The classic novel is beloved the world over, inspiring millions of readers in over 40 languages. The original manuscript resides in the archives at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown, and only a lucky few have been able to see it or study it in person.<br /><br />
“This important project will vastly increase access to the manuscript, generating new understanding and appreciation of the novel’s beginnings and of its author,” says L.M. Montgomery Institute chair Dr. Philip Smith. “The digitization by the expert staff at UPEI’s Robertson Library will allow enthusiasts around the world to discover Montgomery’s creativity in interactive ways not previously available.”<br /><br />
The digital exhibition is available in English and French and can be viewed online at <a href="https://annemanuscript.ca/" target="_blank">annemanuscript.ca</a>.</i>

<br /><br />
Today, I found another fun gift idea for an <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> fan. It's a pack of <a href="https://amzn.to/3gafjqU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">52 playing cards featuring the Anne of Green Gables House at Prince Edward Island National Park</a>. Do you think Marilla Cuthbert and Rachel Lynde would play a game of gin rummy with these cards, or would Rachel disapprove?<br /><br />
