Last Day of Convention, Museum Room, and Napa Valley Wine.
The morning of the last day at the convention was spent working in the museum room. I was in charge of watching the area containing the Thomas Nast prints. It was great view from my post, as I was able to look at all that great artwork once again. Below are just a few images from the exhibit from the areas where I could take photos.
After that I took a trip to Napa Valley with Jo from Landmark Creations.
We had a great afternoon testing samples of various wines at Sterling Vineyards. The 2008 Cellar Club Viognier and the SVR 95 were standouts!
The evening was capped off by a lovely turkey dinner with all the trimmings and Christmas play where snow bubbles softly fell onto the audience.
I can’t wait until next year when I can see all my new “glow” friends in Milwaukee.
Until the next sketch!

Michael: What a small world: Years ago, I worked at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum (in Morristown, NJ) which was known for it’s spectacular collection of Thomas Nast prints. I’ll bet that a few of the Nast prints you were watching were ones that’d *I’d* cared for at Macculloch Hall years ago.
Hope you had a great time!

Hi Judy- how cool is that. I had read somewhere that Thomas Nast lived in New Jersey- was it Morristown? The conference was a really fun time- people were selling some amazing christmas books-some of the interiors were really clever with pop-outs etc. You would have loved seeing them.
Talk soon-Mike
