After so long, I'm back.....

 Last Sunday, September 21, was the Miniature Enthusiasts of Edmonton annual Show and Sale.

As I'm 'trying' to downsize, I didn't spend all that much but did get a few things.

First of all, I bought Joanne her birthday present, one of Sherri MacRaild's wonderful jack-in-the-boxes. This year, it was a Cat in the Box. I love Sherri's work and am so looking forward to her getting the IGMA artisan status that she is working on.

What a disappointment that Janice Crawley wasn't able to join us this year! She has always been a big draw at the Show and Sale and such a pleasure to have with us. Hope to see her next year!

My friend, Tina M., is moving from her home of 48 years so was selling most of her 1:12 collection. That was such a boon to collectors of pieces from her position of workshop coordinator of the club for years and her taste for fine artisan pieces.

Visited Linda A.'s table and bought two sets of tweezers. Linda sells really good tools at reasonable prices. I've been disappointed lately with the double-sided tape I've found so I bought this roll from Linda. It;s quite thin so I think it will work well for me.

I bought the 'painting' from Sherri MacRaild. (Not her work.) The scene is made from sections of veneer so it's quite interesting. I actually have another piece like this that I bought years ago and is in one of my art galleries.

Speaking of art galleries, I bought the middle piece for $3. so I could use it as a display piece in one of my art galleries - either vertically or horizontally, I think it will be great.

Bought the modern desk chair from Tina. Absolutely love it...don't know where I'll use it but...

There is so much mini going on right now that I will keep you posted for the next few days!

BUT (wait for it) other than the $25 I spent on myself at the Show and Sale, I bought something incredibly fantastic!
