My Day with Becky
Hi Friends, my name is Amy Marson and I am the Publisher at C&T Publishing. This week I am visiting my good friend Becky before I head to Quilt Market. Today we went to the Dallas Museum of Art and saw the wonderful Infinity Mirror Room with Pumpkins exhibit by Yayoi Kusama. The exhibit was wonderful, the mirrored room is delightful and the effect of the infinite space is a bit unnerving. The pumpkin, orange and gold colors were stunning and the dots are mesmerizing. It made me want to appliqué a slew of circles.
The other favorite exhibit was the Islamic Art installation, the miniature size of the paintings and ceramics required a magnifying glass to view. We felt like detectives as we walked from piece to piece looking at the detailed, historic works of art.
More importantly we had a delicious lunch, Artichoke, Chicken Salad with a delicious glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The day was filled with color, light and beauty and tomorrow we are off to the Dallas Arboretum. Cheers.

Highlights from last week with Catherine…
These photos are from my phone. I haven’t had time to go through the photos on my big camera. They have to be turned into jpegs before I can post them.
We shopped, a lot. For shoes, clothes, makeup, antiques, and more. Lots more. We both found Joy in shopping, but this little bit of joy came home with me :-).
We went to see the pumpkins and flowers at the Dallas Arboretum…
I am so bad at selfies. I’m never sure where to look and my arm is not long enough. At least this time my eyes aren’t roving off to the side :-).
We went to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the Kusama Pumpkins. The are in a mirrored infinity room and you only get 45 seconds inside, per trip. That’s really fast!
I think 45 seconds is right. It just enough time to be impressed and not so much time to get over the coolness of the spectacle.
And then there’s this, perhaps the most artful exit sign in existence.
Catherine and I had a great time together and I miss her. We are lucky that we live now, when there is FaceTime. We can still visit from opposite sides of the earth.

I love quilters!
A wonderful quilter, Lynn, offered to send me a replacement ornament for the one I broke. Guess what came to my house a few days a go? A box of ornaments!
None are an exact match to the one that was broken, but that’s OK because I love these just as much. In fact, I especially love the pink one, and the gold one, and the blue one… really, I love them all and will treasure them.
I am really looking forward to putting up the tree! Thank you, Lynn!

I found it, and I wasn’t looking!
Catherine, my Aussie friend, and I were shopping today and I was happily taking pictures of sparkly Christmas trees. This one has reproduction ornaments on it and I knew that, but didn’t look close. I should have!
Last year I broke one of my favorite, vintage ornaments from my youth. It is on this tree!
It’s not exactly the same, but it’s pretty darned close. I will be going back for it and while I’m there I will look more closely. Who knows what other treasures are on this tree!
