In my Coming Attractions post update, I stated that James Abbott had met Stephane Boudin, and a kind Anon. rightly corrected me, since Boudin died in 1967, and Mr. Abbott was surely a toddler at that time. I just got an e-mail from Mr. Abbott saying "...I knew - and counted as a great friend - his daughter, as well as his nephew..." There was so much great information flying around at the lecture, that I didn't get it all down. Mea culpa.
I will be posting some stories Mr. Abbott told from his books over the weekend. Tonight, we're off to see Sex and The City!

I am sneaking out of work early to make it to a non-sold out viewing of SATC - cant wait! KDM
ReplyDeleteI will check back to see how you liked the movie and hear more about Mr. Abbott.
ReplyDeleteThe lecture sounds fascinating, and I'm looking forward to hearing how you liked the movie.
ReplyDeletelucky you! lemme no how it was.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had fun! I'd love to go see it this weekend but I have no one to go with! Everyone is busy & my husband would never go. It's just as well because I wouldn't want to go with him, he'd complain the whole time!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of the movie??
ReplyDeleteBe... it was good fun. In thinking about me, and my friends, who are about the same ages, I really can't see us running around the city in most of the clothes these gals wore!
ReplyDeleteI love this sofa!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to read your post on Maison Jansen. I just bought Jansen inspired sofa and have been looking at fabric swatches. His work (especially early on) was amazing.
