    I am going to start perusing the vintage and resale shops for a Chanel, it may be a challenge!

    It's Ogden Nash's birthday too! I was sure you'd do a special post for him!

    ILLG... what with Bill Clinton, my sister and Coco Chanel, I totally missed Ogden.

    Here's a poem:
    The Abominable Snowman
    by Ogden Nash

    I’ve never seen an abominable snowman,
    I’m hoping not to see one,
    I’m also hoping, if I do,
    That it will be a wee one.

    Hi Meg! Yesterday was my husband's b'day too and I almost wrote a post about the things he and Coco Chanel have in common (tongue-in-cheek of course!) but thought better of it and stopped midway!!
