Hope you have a wonderful holiday! I'm looking forward to seeing you here soon.

And, I love it, when by some inner compass, these ladies all seem to change over to cashmere at about the same time.<br /><br />No need for the fur coats in Dismal Swamp. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-47636300862156711552012-12-24T15:48:00.036-05:002012-12-24T15:48:00.036-05:00A Venetian friend of ours has three fur coats - th...A Venetian friend of ours has three fur coats - the one she wore to the market, the short one for acqua alta and the third for going to the Fenice, etc. Don't you love it. <br />Karen: thank you so much for your blog and the wonderful posts. I always compliment you on your writing and have to repeat myself: everything is so readable. Having stopped going to Venice (or anywhere) after 25 years, I hang on to your posts and feel bereft when there is a big gap. I can well imagine you have other things to do with your life but your blog is giving a lot of folks a lot of pleasure.<br />Auguri<br />JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-36860414639489017942012-12-24T09:12:21.741-05:002012-12-24T09:12:21.741-05:00We need to get our fur coats, Karen.

I'm watching my sale catalogs.<br />It was so lovely to spend so much time with both of you. Enjoy your fish tonight and your turkey domani.<br />Buon Natale,<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990125469349075873noreply@blogger.com
