Dear sweet friends

Here at last is the most recent family photo - will send news later -

Love,

A letter from Princess Grace to her friend, American fashion designer Vera Maxwell, dated January 28, 1977, where she writes to her friend about preparing for an exhibition of her collage work in Paris:

"Vera dear - Many thanks for the photos and the card-boards. The colors are great. I was in Monaco for St. Devote - Wed & Thurs. & started a picture with grey leaves on the coral back-ground. I think it will be quite pretty. You were dear to be so sweet to Francine Siri [private secretary of Prince Rainier]. She have [sic] the time of her life! Irene Pagés called me to say Mr. Drouant would give me 9th June until the eve of the month for my exhibit - very exciting. Rainier arrives for a few days tomorrow. We will have some of Stephie's friends for lunch Sunday. Albie seems quite happy & doing well. I talked to John Carroll about the possibility of doing a poetry program in Pittsburgh for Am. Poetry Forum. Possibly afterwards an evening at Lincoln Center could be arranged end of Oct? Much love & many thanks."

Princess Grace had a strong interest in flowers, from their aesthetic beauty, to their history in art, to their use in home remedies and beauty aids. Pressing flowers and creating collages became a creative outlet for the actress turned royal, and her artwork was put on display at the Drouant Art Gallery Paris in 1977.

My handwritting is so bad I can't even replicate my own signature. When I have to sign something I feel like I'm commiting obvious forgery but, it's really me signing stuff.

I wanted to replicate it for something but, every time I do it looks way off. Could be me staring at it too much that every repeat looks totally different. Not that you can replicate it to a microscopic T every single time.
