Mom worked in the Warren Twp. NJ schools and helped Chris at Mrs. Lippencot's dancing school. She would stop by the cottage on Gregory Lane for tea and friendship almost every day.When I was first married I moved into the neighborhood, renting an apartment from Art Walters, next door to Chris. Chris was a wonderful person, with a special spirit. I have a child's rocker with VLB prints on seat and back. My wife and I visited with Michael at "Folly Cove" in 1964. So many wonderful memories of special people.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513457239531939663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006797064636382379.post-80761799251707419052008-10-08T18:16:00.000-04:002008-10-08T18:16:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you found my post, then, and thanks so...I'm so glad you found my post, then, and thanks so much for posting a comment. I think that there is a revival of interest in Ginny's work and it was wonderful to see all of the local tie-ins to New England, as well as to get a glimpse into the life of someone so vivacious and interesting. I had never known much about her, or her link to the Folly Cove Designers. I found it all very inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, <BR/><BR/>Cheers!Inklings and Imprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436316626379347726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006797064636382379.post-46073493708048099112008-10-08T17:56:00.000-04:002008-10-08T17:56:00.000-04:00I was delighted to see your posting on Folly Cove ...I was delighted to see your posting on Folly Cove and Virginia Lee Burton! I was a friend of her sister, Christine Burton Braillard, who lived in New Jersey. Christine and Ginny (as Christine called her) were very close. She was never the same after her sister's passing. <BR/><BR/>Christine's small but charming home was full of her sister's designs--on curtains, slipcovers, place mats, and as framed images on a guest room wall . She even had some of the color plates from Ginny's book called Life Story.<BR/><BR/>Christine was a clever, funny, delightful and talented person in her own right. I wished I had had a chance to meet Ginny.<BR/><BR/>I lost touch with the family shortly after Christine's death in the early 80s but hope those images and Folly Cove's legacy,survive.<BR/><BR/>With wonderful posts from people like you, I am confident it will! <BR/><BR/>P.S. Mike Mulligan was one of my favorites as a kid in the early sixties and am happy to see it's still around.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006797064636382379.post-90844633248308089572008-08-08T11:53:00.000-04:002008-08-08T11:53:00.000-04:00Ha - thanks!
