I don't belong to any Austen list so I'm not sure how to contact you, but I do enjoy your comments on the list and on your blog. Glad to learn your husband is better.<br />Regards,<br />Lorraine<br />JASNA-Victoria (BC, Canada)Lorraine Langfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-60484123743093361732011-03-30T08:37:05.805-07:002011-03-30T08:37:05.805-07:00Oh, what riches in this post, Diana! Firstly - (as...Oh, what riches in this post, Diana! Firstly - (as befits the position!) salutations to Tully the Alpha Cat. Any feline that can produce poetry like that can ONLY be an Alpha, surely? Instruct Pindar and Marshy to genuflect to such superior intellect :-).<br /><br />I do believe you are even worse/more addicted/ more enthusiastic than me in your thrift hunting - but indeed, what treasures you have discovered - brava to you! It seems as if you have also been gathering other treasure - family treasure in family stories...what I consider to be the most priceless 'Family Jewels' that cannot be bought, only shared. Talking of Jewels - what a bright ruby jewel your dear mother is in your wonderful photograph - delightful to see her. <br />Finally, I second Elissa in her comments about the wonderful tour of the Arts Club - what a delicious venue that is. Well done to you for living so richly and being kind enough to share it with others! xRoz Cawleyhttp://rozcawley.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-68184448365479927212011-03-02T20:45:15.825-08:002011-03-02T20:45:15.825-08:00I enjoyed the art club photos too and went over to...I enjoyed the art club photos too and went over to look at their website. You said the membership process was intricate (or some such word). I noticed there is no place to click on "how to join."<br /><br />I did begin to go to the "right" places in NYC before I left -- my mid-thirties and the times we went back so much (middle to late 1990s until a couple of years ago) we too rushed about and made up for lost time and realized how much more we'd know to do today.<br /><br />EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-91004596973571909702011-02-27T04:05:45.302-08:002011-02-27T04:05:45.302-08:00Hi., Diana, it is Mal from Dorset and Piffle, so m...Hi., Diana, it is Mal from Dorset and Piffle, so much enjoying reading your entries, you really did pack it all in.

Yo...Diana what a WONDERFUL tour of the Arts Club!!! You were so brave to take those pictures. I've been pining to get invited there for years. Seeing both the Shakespeare portrait and the shard of Shelley's skull (I still believe it could not possibly be) two days apart must have been quite thrilling. The man who donated the wonderful Gertrude Stein sculpture in Bryant Park was an owner of the Knoedler Gallery; he inherited it as part of the sculptress' estate and then donated it to the City.<br /><br />ElissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-24070280589729235692011-02-14T14:07:33.206-08:002011-02-14T14:07:33.206-08:00I feel exhausted after my week in New York!
