Vraiment, je ne regrette rien.

Edith and my New Hat
On this Saturday night in January, the governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, has ordered drivers in New York City off the road. We are in the midst of a snow storm with a total of 28 inches forecast by tomorrow.

We are nice and cosy in our apartment, having stocked up on provisions yesterday. And since we live in a cooperative apartment building, we have people to shovel and clear our sidewalks for us.

Amid this swirling maelstrom of white stuff, I would like to show you a hat that I just finished.

 The Edith Piaf doll is by

Hayley McCulloch.

I purchased it in 2012 from Hayley

as she and Abby Goodman were posted

outside of the New Museum with their

Dolly Files.

I thought it apt to quote from

Edith's signature song,

"Non, je ne regrette rien."

No regrets.

 I am happy to have found a way to

showcase Hayley's dolly for

everyone to see.

Stay warm mes amis.

Listen to Edith, ici.

À Bientôt!
