Being the stamp girl that I am, I was even more excited than usual when the French commemorated Louise Bourgeois on one of their stamps. I immediately headed to the big post office in Cahors and scooped a whole sheet. They were so pretty on my letters. Plus, Dad and Kat wanted a few so I had a very nice gift for them. Nothing like sitting in the Gare de Cahors, waiting for the bus home, and savoring that very reasonable glass of Cahors wine as you write notes to the states.
The fun thing about their choice of one of her spider sculptures, is that we actually have one of our very own here in the sculpture garden in City Park. During this last visit with Ron, I was able to get a couple of shots. What a challenge getting it all in the photo. And if you should ask, no, as far as I know we are not related. Happy Friday and loving Louise Bourgeois day for me!
Here's to Louise B...I've often been asked if we're related :) We have one of her sculptures at the St. Louis Art Museum and the last time we visited KCMO I saw one of her spiders at the Kemper Museum! Love, KB
