The show was filled to the brim with ladies in the main foyer and adjoining parlor. Fifty plus ladies looked on as one by one my models ascended the grand hall. Oh's and Ah's were heard throughout. Questions were invited as I told the ladies how items were constructed. They were awe struck that most of the items were created out of table linens, hankies, napkins and such.

The local newspaper was present taking photos and asking questions for placement in the paper the following morn. What an exhilarting day, to be sure!

The following morn, it was agreed by Theora and Pam, to commission four more shows for 2007. What a grand gift they've given my daughters and I! The mansion has 32 rooms, many baths and many sleeping quarters (I didn't take time to count.)
