Hi everyone I thought I'd just post here, since I thought convention updates were more gossipy than lacey, but if someone want to move my post, please feel free.
Today was tour day, so it was relatively quiet for me in the Exhibition room (I set it up, and am manning it). I actually made it home tonight before my kids went to bed! So far, I've met so many wonderful Arachneans, it's making my mind spin. I'm in Devon Thein wonderful lace history class with Alice Howell, and I drool over (metaphorically not literally) her fall caps. She wears a different one each day. Devon's class is fabulous, and I'm enjoying the history of lace, as well as the fascinating sidebars that help put things into perspective, and we have some lively discussion. Yesterday I met Clay as we wandered the Teacher's showcase, and today I met Kenn in the vendors room, when I was let out of the exhibition room 'for good behaviour' :-) Today I met Janice Blair and saw Sylvie again, and there are so many others I just can't remember them all. There are 25 lace contest pieces, and everyone's had a hard time making their choice. I went to the Arachne lunch on Monday, and it seemed to be very well attended, and we all had a wonderful time. Vasna and Cindy (convention Co-chairs and both on Arachne) did a great job hostessing it, and made the announcements etc much fun. Vasna has been a hoot when doing the door prizes at the lunch and dinners, and has had everyone in stitches. Liz in Melbourne (my Mum) is having the time of her life, and I don't think I've ever seen her shine or bloom quite like this. (Best part is she bought my Christmas gift for a couple of vendors :-) ) Cheers, Helen, Aussie in Denver, loving every minute of her first ever Convention, and who will probably collapse with exhaustion when Saturday night arrives :-) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
