Door Prize: The distribution of door prizes for QS and 1" tables were uneven. There were only 7 door prizes for QS tables, but some 1" tables had an excess of prizes because of absentees. I wasn't supposed to get a door prize, but I must have looked so sad or pathetic Phyllis King gave hers to me.
Table gift: QS calla lilies and tiered what-not shelf from Phyllis and Richard King

First stop on our mini tour was the home of Emma and Cathy Lincoln in Shaker Heights. Their collection is housed in a room the size of a 4-car garage. Every shelf was stuffed with roomboxes. Dollhouses in 1", HS and QS were placed in the center of the room. The adjacent sun room had more interesting objects collected from their many travels around the world. This was only part of their collection. They had even more items in storage in the basement.
