There's a new exhibit at the Met: "Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts", so it should be timely, at least.C.C. de Verehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796598131362510000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231535652489731707.post-3963038376872754712021-12-17T04:55:22.985-08:002021-12-17T04:55:22.985-08:00Perhaps the consulate in L.A. can help, if not per...Perhaps the consulate in L.A. can help, if not perhaps Disney (D'isigny Sur Mer):)Marc Cartierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733836762692877167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231535652489731707.post-4198288624514538082021-12-16T21:20:52.161-08:002021-12-16T21:20:52.161-08:00Hi Marc!

I love hearing from the descendants of the people I blog about.<br /><br />As farfetched as this may sound...since I started this blog several years ago I've advocated for a museum dedicated to French Angelenos (I have several other artifacts already). If I can ever scrape together a building, a lot of money, and a resourceful curatorial staff, the glasses will be prominently displayed. (I know...pipe dream...but I don't give up easily. If I can make it happen, you're invited to the grand opening.)C.C. de Verehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796598131362510000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231535652489731707.post-75737920162555934822021-12-16T14:56:19.168-08:002021-12-16T14:56:19.168-08:00p.s.
