Hello Dearest Deco Girl - Snowy and I would like to say "thanks for your friendship" Au revoir is not goodbye (or so they say in 'Tintin in America' ) xx
Congrats, DecoGirl--that's so exciting about your magazine appearance! Do you know if they sell that magazine in the US or how one could obtain it here? I'd love to read it! BTW, I was just contacted yesterday by a reporter for our newspaper to comment on my best friend and her book on Art Deco architecture (the one I told you about previously, which also has two photos of me in it). Fun, isn't it? Another 15 minutes of fame. Hope your article turns out great and, again, would love to be able to read it! Love, Chiaro
