Greetings, ladies. I have been working most diligently this past fortnight to edit my salon. I welcome you again to my salon to view my new gallery style installation of modern paintings. They have all been suitably dressed in gilt frames of the highest quality. I have endeavored greatly in the selection of frames of different styles as to create a collected look. My dear friend Isabella whom I've heretofore discussed at length developed a case of the vapors upon seeing my fine installation and was required to sit for a spell to collect herself. I take her response as a great testament to my success.
I hope you appreciate the results of recent endeavors and I welcome your comments.
Until next time,
