You Say Geesha, I Say Gaysha.....

However you say it, I have long been intrigued with Geishas.  These prints hung in my room as a little girl. They were painted by my mother's best friend in high school,  who died of cancer at a very young age.  I am so proud to have these prints as works of art and as a symbol of their friendship.  I had them re-matted and framed a few years ago because I wanted them preserved forever.

In my younger days I professed a profound dislike of anything Oriental or Old West.  And here I am today, knee-deep in chinoiserie at "The Ranch."  Ain't life funny?  For an excellent read, if you have not already experienced it,  Memoirs of a Geisha.  It is one of my favorite books.  Another MAJOR favorite,  Lonesome Dove.  East meets West, Yin and Yang................opposites attract!

Happy snowy Sunday in July.
