Somehow it makes me feel less guilty. ;-)<br /><br />Billy Collins even dedicated a poem to <a href="http://www.billy-collins.com/2005/06/marginalia.html" rel="nofollow">Marginalia</a>. Makes me smile every time I read it. Here an excerpt:<br /><br />"I remember once looking up from my reading,<br />my thumb as a bookmark,<br />trying to imagine what the person must look like<br />why wrote "Don't be a ninny"<br />alongside a paragraph in The Life of Emily Dickinson."Merisi in Viennahttp://merisi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-53112028786720389992011-06-09T07:46:46.416-04:002011-06-09T07:46:46.416-04:00Oh, Carol--I adore this post and have ordered a co...Oh, Carol--I adore this post and have ordered a copy of Elaine's book "La Seduction." I can't wait to read it and find out more French woman secrets. Yes, yes, yes, I too believe in the power of layering. Very important. And then again, the process of removing all those layers is tres sexy. Just the act of slowly removing a scarf can be an opportunity for un petit strip tease! Merci beaucoup for your brilliant words and beautiful photos! xo JamieJamie Cat Callanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255345752308852041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-32109093350870299882011-06-09T04:44:06.494-04:002011-06-09T04:44:06.494-04:00Unless I'm mistaken Joseph,

Everything about it - from the gorgeous watercolour at the start, the advert to the doggie (THAT is too funny - we already had a good laugh at that together...)<br />I shall never look at layers in the same way again. In Scotland, layers is just what we do with the ever-changing weather. So, now the layers in Paris, well, I'm blushing!<br />Thinking of you a lot recently. Guess what? I've injured my back - it's a real bummer! Cheers to you, Carol. Amazing paintings as ever.
