How sad I was the year that the heirs decided to move the museum/shop away from KBF and downsize in the process. Many of the original displays were sold. An era came to an end. Too bad. I had put a few of my creations [roomboxes] on "consignment" with them around about that same time. It was an interesting experience talking with the next generation...young business-oriented souls. It struck me that they were more interested in starting afresh, and going in a different direction than the generation, or two before them. One person's "dream," ultimately must have become another person's nightmare...the upkeep got to be a bit much for them, so out went the old, and in came the new, as the saying goes. Having been around miniatures as long as you and I have been, we have seen the many changes within this beloved hobby of ours. Many fine artisans have come and gone, leaving their legacies...their art! It's been a magnificent journey. I'm so glad to have been a part of it all. Wouldn't trade any of it for all the pearls on the bottom of the sea. : ) Trust your toe is mending? Those can be quite painful. Best get out your steel-toed slippers to protect it! Frightful how often toes seem to catch on the most unlikely chair leg, or corner of an area rug, even when being careful.

You meeting Mr. Mott himself. :D...How cool is that. You meeting Mr. Mott himself. :D<br />Love how you've restored your books. I should gather all of my counted cross stitch books and pamphlets and do the same. Maybe I should try another miniature stitch pattern? My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, but maybe?<br />Hope your toe feels better today. :DKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231703268144400867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-49882089846871391692012-08-22T11:04:22.291-07:002012-08-22T11:04:22.291-07:00Hi Casey.
