  1. "Schiap" found beauty all around her! I adore those buttons! YOWZERS! What a gifted, amazing talent!

    I have to tell you, I had a "show" for my friend Rebecca Collins at my house in Pasadena California; a jewelry designer (and a fabulous one) ...Berry Berenson Perkins came to it! She was sitting in front of the fireplace and noticed a book on the table right in front of her! "Schiaparelli"!! She said to Rebecca..."who is this who lives here?? This book is about my grandmother!!!"

    Sadly; I didn't meet her; more sadly, she was on her way to see her son perform a music thing in Florida; and was on one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11. SOB!!!
    In any case.,,,,,,that is my story! I think it is a good one! A great life is full of great stories!! My motto!!!
