Wondering if you have ever visited her museum in Taos, New Mexico. There is a spectacular display of her own jewelry designs as well as her collection of New Mexican furniture and turquoise and silver jewelry. I am entering the blogging world and have written a few small items about our mutual friend, Paul Garzotto and the late Marguerite Green. You inspire me to share my photos from the Millicent Rogers Museum. I look forward to following you and thanks for helping me recognize that I am a fellow Aesthete.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086618308979351984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-89359401973967739802010-12-10T07:13:56.443-05:002010-12-10T07:13:56.443-05:00Millicent is fabulous indeed.

It also allows one to get away with very large paintings in rooms with smallish ceilings. It IS nice to see you back in time for the holidays.balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-54039528276785793852010-12-08T23:24:41.944-05:002010-12-08T23:24:41.944-05:00It's nice to be back, Cece.It's nice to be back, Cece.An Aesthete's Lamenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620941811191294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-25771273807100392712010-12-08T21:42:40.955-05:002010-12-08T21:42:40.955-05:00Nice to see you back, AL!
