Today is a very happy day! I just found out that Anthropologie has an exclusive on my book, Decorate, which means that only they can sell it before it officially launches in the states on April 20th so starting today, you can order it on their website and find it in stores nationwide. I nearly died when I found out this exciting news and of course, did a happy dance when I saw it online.
I can’t put into words the enormously gratitude that I feel for their support as well as the many small, independent boutiques and even large book sellers who will stock it. I’ve been feeling emotional about this all day really… as people are receiving their review copies from around the world and emailing me with notes of thanks and joy — I don’t really know what to say except how grateful I am that I registered my blog years ago and started writing online after quitting my corporate job in search of living a more creative life doing work that I love that also happens to make other people happy and feel more creative, too. Well, it happened but the funny part of this whole journey is that it took a village to make this possible — and I have all of you to thank and I did so in the dedication that I wrote in the book to each and every one of you.
On another note, I was recently notified by a buyer at Selfridges department store in London that they’ll also start stocking the book this month on March 25 (a few days after my birthday) and during the first week of April my book will be on a special “premiere” shelf in-store. How exciting this all is… I can’t believe all of this is happening.
I must pause for a moment though to say that I know that I’m going to sound a little self absorbed over the next few months but I’m not at all trying to be. I’m excited and happy and so, so appreciative that you just may have to listen to me talk about this book a lot. I want to have a giveaway too and I was thinking that maybe some of you would like a book plate for your book that I can sign and dedicate to you and then you can have it for your copy. Would you like that? I have to figure out how to do this, but once I do I’ll let you know because so many have asked for signed copies and I honestly gave this part little thought because I only thought the Kelly Wearstler’s and the JK Rowlings of the world sign books – but I love the idea of dedicating a book to you personally so if I cannot sign your copy in person then perhaps a book plate will make you happy. Let me look into this and I’ll let you know more soon…
By the way… if you live in India you can order the book from Infibeam.
Also The Book Depository in the UK who will ship worldwide for FREE! Yes, really! But they won’t ship it until after March 25 and it’s the UK version written in British English.
I have more news to share with you soon concerning the UK book launch party on April 13 in London — I’ll talk about that later this week!
P.S. Decorate has a fan page on Facebook if you want to “like” it or “friend” it or whatever. I know, I know! ha ha! Too funny, right?!

Congratulations Holly! you have every right to be happy, proud and talking about it whenever you want! You are very fortunate to be where you are, but it didn’t happen by accident – you made it happen as I’m sure you know and must be so proud of your accomplishments up to now! I would love a signed copy of your book by the way – any chance you would come back to NH for a book signing at say, Barnes & Noble in Manchester or Nashua?? Just asking…:))

Oh my goodness Holly that is so exciting! :) As an employee of Anthropologie I will anxiously await the day it comes into our store and buy it straight away. I am so excited to see in real life. And I love the idea of a signed book plate. It’s like a little piece of you will live in all of our homes. Yay what a great day.

Holly, I’m so excited for you! I’m dying to buy your book, but I think I’ll have to wait as I don’t believe Anthropologie ships to Canada (I’m in Vancouver). Must look into this.
You’ve worked so hard to get where you are, so be “self-absorbed” all you want! I remember how excited I was to shoot my first story for a magazine – to see my name in a magazine was pretty exciting, so I can’t imagine how you feel to have your own book! Congratulations!!

Well, you know, those of us who strive for a creative, self determined life look to each other for the glimmers of inspiration and sometimes hope to erase that little nagging voice that makes us pull back and think that maybe it can’t be done like we thought.
You are proof, living breathing proof, that it can.
Watching your journey unfold the last two years has been a joy for me. We get moments in life where, if we remain true to the cause and continue to move forward, the pieces fall into place in the most amazing way. This is such a moment, Holly, for you.
This will be my go-to gift for 2011 for family and friends. When I get my copy, I will put it on my Mexican trunk (that I have dragged through three countries) in my Double Guest Room and photograph it and send it to you. I have given up buying books that don’t mean much to me. But I am buying yours for myself because it symbolizes so many things that I strive for every day – the fruition of love, effort, talent and a dose of luck.
Much love and congratulations.

I am just so delighted for you, Holly. I can’t wait to buy it and would treasure a hand-signed bookplate.
My question is which is the UK version? When I look on http://www.booko.com.au, the cover with the large ‘A’ you have posted above costs $26.18 through Book Depository UK.
However, the version with Decorate written in blue at the top of the cover is selling for $41.23 through Book Depository US – a big discrepancy for essentially the same book.
I’d be really grateful if you could please clarify this for me. Thanks, Holly.

Congrats Holly! I just called over to my local Anthropologie at The Grove here in LA. They don’t have it in stock yet :( … BUT they said they were getting a big shipment in this week. Won’t it be so fun for you to actually see the culmination of all your hard work in the store? I’ll send photos when it’s there!

I am so happy for you Holly! That’s incredible that Anthro has it on their site! I just wanted to say that I think doing a giveaway of signed books is a fantastic idea and I would definitely participate! DECORATE is on my wish list!

Congratulations! I work as a home merchandiser for Anthropologie and I have to say people have been coming in this week and asking for your book! I can’t wait until we get it in the store and I can see it in person as well! The bookplate idea sounds like a lovely solution!

I work at an anthropologie in New York and when I saw your book in our stockroom…well I freaked out. I asked my manager “can we buy this? now? before april????” Of course the answer was yes and my day=made.
