Thank you (and a little bit of alphabet soup for my peers) at the STJ Soiree

Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of the collectors (both new and old) who stopped by the STJ Soiree this weekend. Without your smiles, genuine interest, encouragement and support we wouldn't have fared as well as we did!

To Dani, Wendy and Lisa I want to say thanks for all of your hard work and continued efforts to make this a successful show.

And to my friends and peers (at the Soiree) I would like to give you the 26 letters of the alphabet (along with a little "soup")... I'm sure you'll all get the meaning behind what I am about to type.

A is for:
Amelia and After party!
