Clarification

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!

  4. I 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!

  5. Be... 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!

  6. I'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.
