Thanks for the link to the great photos of Grey Gardens by the New York Post. The master bedroom is eerily beautiful. I am so impressed how Ms. Quinn & Mr.Bradley painstakingly restored GG's, down to pieces of furniture. What a huge labor of love. The whole story is quite compelling & magical. How about that birdcage with a single bulb over Little Edie's bed? There again, eerily beautiful..if that is even an appropriate phrase?!
Have a fun wkend (:

An e-mail from another Edie...

Dear Valorie,
Last I wrote was to thank you for including my book Swedish Interiors on your site!
I don't get to visit the Blog Goddesses very often but when I do reading you and Joni are
at the top of my list.

I am compelled this evening to write you a fan letter!

I was enjoying your article on Yves and Paris - and then I got to East Hampton. Wow.

Your descriptions of Grey Gardens, clear affection for the Edies and your memories
of starting out in New York and working in East Hampton moved me, literally, to tears. Not just any
writer could pull off design history, social commentary and a vivid look back at a unique, carefree
time of life so seamlessly. You are a marvel.
Thank you!
Edie

VV: Thank you Edie! You are too kind, and I so appreciate your reading my blog and taking the time to write to me.

The wonderful story of how you met those two women made me want to watch the movie, so I've set it to record it on Sunday. I can't wait!

We've come a long way since RMS, haven't we? ;)

nice to "see" you again....

Well, there is reason to believe the cats were catered to much better in life than in death. That is my hope.

So, moving on. I realize the piano incident could have been a tragedy, but the way Ms. Quinn describes it has planted a hysterical scene in my mind. Like something out of a cartoon!

Oh I am on pins and needles! I haven't had a moment to watch this film and the wait is just agonizing. Brilliant!

Please stop by my blog. I am hosting a 200th post giveaway.

Hope your weekend was lovely. What a cool room.

What a nut I am. I commented on the photo. Liked the room them went to the slide show. I had no idea it was Bid Edie's room. I thought it was a cool, yet, shabby room with a lawn chair and kimono accent. Loved the lighting. I really am attached to those women. Just love them and love their style.

Dear Valorie, I love places like this. I love when they are abandoned, empty with the wallpaper pealing. They have their own story. Beautiful. Carla

A job well done! Thank you. I hope you can come visit and see the importance of being crazy.
