St Louis NAME Houseparty Helpers

Helpers for this year were outstanding in my opinion. See for yourself and get inspired.







 This is the prototype for the Kummerows class from a few years back. I wish I had taken the class now.

 Porcelain kewpie dolls donated by Pat Boldt

 Perfect for a Fall vignette



 The focus of this vignette is the exterior of multiple houses instead of decorating the entire house inside and out.

 A collection of well done Michaels craft hutches in various themes, donated by Kyra Smith




























 This is a camping and mining for gold vignette created in a copper bowl/pan


 Donated by Jan McCandliss. This is a close-up of Jeanetta Kendall tiny figurines




 Donated by Ruth Stewart, of course

 Donated by the Pottery guy



 Donated by Kim Wood

 Another chance for Gwen Campbell's online houseparty table centerpiece!




















 I lusted after this HP helper from Lisa Engler and Sylvia Rountree. Of course, I didn't win it.

More photos inside St Louis Airport Marriott Hotel

 The hotel doesn't really have a lot of lounge areas, but the space in the glass enclosure facing the front served as small sitting areas with bright sunlight streaming through.

 A sampling of modern artwork adorning the walls of public corridor

 Planters in hotels are always massive compared to ordinary homes


Modern "wave" planters to inspire you

 A little sitting area next to where the salesroom and registration for NAME. This is where you could browse and pick up brochures promoting upcoming mini shows and events.
The art on the wall could be created in miniature using quilling paper I'm thinking

Another sampling of modern art in the hotel. You can create your own modern masterpiece scribbling with pen on paper--make it big for framing!

Can't do anything without consulting the black board for schedule of events & location of event.
