Sunday: Helped set up the Display Room so I got to see all the pieces as they arrived. Wow! Antique laces - a Beds piece to die for!, a collection from the Lost Art Lacers.
Exquisite pieces from member and teachers. They should have served drooling towels.
Ever seen a feeding frenzy? It's somewhat tamer than the Sales Room opening session on Sunday. There's something about 300+ lacers and 20 something vendors combined in a large room. Agitate slightly and see what happens!
Monday: Class starts. Morning- Advanced Beds with Holly Van Sciver. I think my brain is full. Afternoon- Downton lace with Pompi Parry. Another twist on point ground. What I like most about it is the very clear headside it achieves with CTCT and only a single passive.
Tuesday: Breakfast (VERY early, I agree, Tamara)
Wednesday: Not one, not two, but three different tours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and speed shopping before the bus arrived to take us back to the hotel.
Thursday: Classes, luncheon and I won a prize in the raffle at the business meeting.
Friday: Last classes (boo hoo) and the banquet. I won three more raffle prizes! Including three bobbins from South Africa (Bester is the maker's name I think).
And homework, homework, homework.
Still jetlagged and I have to go to work tomorrow. . .
