It’s probably that picture of the Eiffel Tower, but this reminds me of Paris Je t’aime, the very last vignette. I so loved that movie!

Hey! I so enjoy reading blogs written by vintage cloth collectors – especially when they share of themselves. Your writing is of that ilk, and I just so wish we lived where our paths might cross.

Please visit my website and sign up for my newsletter. I try very hard for it to be an interesting read – you’ll let me know, I hope!

My fav sister and her 18 year old autistic daughter are visiting. I remember when Lara was nine. The years hence and growth in and of itself has wrought a lovely, creative (Lara is an illustrator! of a series of books), fashionable, sweet as pie girlie. If you’d ever like to speak with my sister, just email me. She’s been where you’re at, and that’s a sisterhood I cannot really know.

Thank you for loving my books, too!

I love a good cheerful linen. I have made wrap skirts from them and just last weekend my grandmother said, “Is that my tablecloth?”

Indeed it was.

Now I want a skirt with dishes who are endowed with both faces AND stick limbs.

And I love the final quote – excellent observation.
