Pseu: isn't it...Marguerite: You'll love it!<br />Pseu: isn't it amazing to catch scenes like that -- of course, we see kids fidgeting and goofing around in groups like that, but for the most part, they're surprisingly attentive -- at the very least, they have this incredible vocabulary right from the start.<br />Tiffany: It would take several visits to really begin to take in what's on offer here -- besides the Grès there's bourdelle's work, plus the historical significance of his room, his gardens, etc.<br />Duchesse: Thanks for the encouragement -- it always seems a shame to push the holiday back into its album and be done with it so quickly.<br />Jane: Thanks. It really is the interplay between the two artists'work that lifts the exhibition.<br />Lisa: Drunk, exhausted, exhilarated sore-footed, supremely content . . .<br />and other Lisa: I'll be glad to get back to my people, especially the wee one, and to my garden, etc., but I really hope the weather improves -- I feel guilty to be enjoying such great sunshine here while you've languished in cold and rain ever since we left!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-13322110171400595982011-04-14T20:14:02.943-07:002011-04-14T20:14:02.943-07:00that looks like a pretty wicked day! xoxo to you...that looks like a pretty wicked day! xoxo to you both from Lisa (nothin' goin on here but marking and cold wet weather--don't be rushing home just yet!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-28819771491189948332011-04-14T17:04:26.942-07:002011-04-14T17:04:26.942-07:00I'm sort of intoxicated with your trip, just f...I'm sort of intoxicated with your trip, just from here.

Those pleats...just...wow.<br /><br />On our second trip, I was awed as we were strolling through the Carnavalet to come across a group of children who appeared to be about 4-5, sitting very still and listening intently while a teacher or guide was speaking about the portraits in that particular hall.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-8178408758504418362011-04-14T06:21:30.657-07:002011-04-14T06:21:30.657-07:00Fabulous, Mater.
