These are pics from the banquet–mostly centerpieces, table settings, etc. As always, click on photos for a larger view.
First, the table setting before we got to it and started moving stuff all around:
Next, the Kish Water Babies doll we were all given:
Another view of the centerpiece:
Riley, in her ‘Painting the Roses Red’ outfit, from the workshop I attended:
Centerpiece was the companion doll, inside a lovely large flower setting.
This is a view almost from my seat, of the end of the head table, as Helen Kish addressed the group, just prior to presentation of the souvenir.
The doll was ‘Thumbeline’, by Helen Kish. She was in a lovely hexagonal box. The centerpiece was a flower, similar to the setting inside Thumbeline’s box, containing her Prince. We also received little Water Babies dolls at our table settings. Thumbeline didn’t really make much of an appearance at the table–immediately following the banquet most of us had our dolls shipped home.
