We have been asked to dinner on 31st and I am debating whether to go as the wicked witch of the West, not that I can really talk about West on your 3000 mile further west than me blog. So the West part may have to be dropped. In fact the whole thing may have to be dropped as I doubt whether anyone else will dress for the occasion. Do they have witches in Central Park? You'd get rather a shock I suppose if you came round one of those corners and found a bubbling cauldron and hags among the crags intoning - 'when shall we three meet again.'Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-1181310553171297802009-10-27T09:42:42.561-07:002009-10-27T09:42:42.561-07:00Ah it is so good to visit you again Frances and th...Ah it is so good to visit you again Frances and this post is another perfect one to read.

I'll tell you what I'll do though, I bought the exhibition catalogue and sometime over the next few days I'll do a post about the exhibition with pictures from it, and probably link it to a PurpleCoo Art Club forum posting as well. I had completely forgotten about this exhibition until you mentioned the one you saw and it's reminded me of just how totally blown away I was by it, so I think I need to 'revisit' it again!Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-19864509428044475162009-10-26T09:10:32.485-07:002009-10-26T09:10:32.485-07:00The day you have described sounds delightful, as d...The day you have described sounds delightful, as does the following Frances.

Just want to say I have enjoyed browsing a bit through your posts and enjoying your views of NYC and also your thoughts and reflections. And I do love that little painting you did for the birthday card for the August born person...really, really love it. The colors and the design and all those lovely dots of paint! Maybe because I am an August-born person too...you chose wonderful colors.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope to come back again and visit. <br /><br />Your visit to the Japan Society sounds so delightful...Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-28158583720176516552009-10-25T18:18:40.253-07:002009-10-25T18:18:40.253-07:00What a wonderful day off you had.

I love learning about something that I just hadn't been exposed to before- there is so much out there to see and experience.<br /><br />I love mohair and can't possibly wear it against my skin in a sweater but as a scarf or outer garment- it's fine. Your project looks intriguing. <br /><br />Take care at the doctor's and dentist's and then you'll be done with them for a while. <br /><br />Your view of the water and trees in the park look as if they could be in the middle of the countryside- just lovely.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044667449525289901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-56199729168155981012009-10-25T17:01:26.220-07:002009-10-25T17:01:26.220-07:00I'm so happy you are thoroughly enjoying your ...I'm so happy you are thoroughly enjoying your days off..
