All centerpieces rested on 4 ABC blocks, a lazy Susan mechanism at base of centerpiece, and an open children's book with a vignette from the book. The ABC blocks are empty and can be used to house a mini scene.

Xylophone 1" or HS or QS, Martie Tyler

QS kitchen play center or car push cart & riding toy duck, Teresa Callender [the kit for the car push cart has a picture that looks like you're getting TWO push carts, but you only get ONE. I think it was taken that way to illustrate the toy before and after painting. However, you do get a laser cut acrylic gluing jig to help you assemble and glue the toy. Just beware the jig is only 1/2" wide, so don't lose it]

Bottom shelf--1" or HS or QS Block castle, Sue Ann Ketchum [the wood pieces come pre-painted, so should assemble quickly]

in the back---1" or HS or QS Horse Teeter Totter, Dale Lovett

Middle---1" laser cut wood toy cart, Marilyn Littleford

Front---1" or HS or QS Play kitchen, Susan Karatjas [the hot item of the evening, but fortunately Susan had cut a lot of these. They ran out of the HS, which shocked Nick to no end. I was able to buy extras of the 1" and QS in the salesroom after the event was over]

 Back--QS "space fantasy" boy bed (L) or "fairytale castle"  girl bed, Jean Scribner pictured with Susan Farnik's QS boy bedroom roombox or girl bedroom roombox

Front--1" or HS or QS Tudor style doll's dollhouse, Karen Benson

1" dollhouse bookcase w/6 accessories, Fay Liner

Fay was the 1st mini person I saw when I arrived at the hotel and informed me the hotel had no elevators.

Top---1" Halloween or Easter candy basket, Katherine Price [the Fimo candy is ready made, the Easter basket form is all done for you & the Easter basket kit comes with a jig to make the bow seen]

Middle--1" or HS or QS Little Dolly in porcelain, Winnifred Holloway [the only people who could get their hands on these super hot items were those who bought during the Pre-sale period. Even the 1st 10 people in line to buy during official sale hour were told EVERYTHING (all scales) was sold out]

Bottom--picture isn't good, but supposed to show Abby Vukovich's HS or QS mailbox with flower landscape base and Valentine letters in the mailbox

Top--1" Bead toy or 6 Playskool Little People, Kim Wood
Middle--QS Glamour girls (2) or tiny dancers (2), Barbara Meyers
Bottom---QS Roll the Dice lamp set of two, red (boy) or pink (girl), Rhonda Keef

Bottom---1" folded paper gift boxes, set of 14, Janet Chase (these are pre-cut, just fold & glue)

Lexington Houseparty 2013

The Clarion Hotel on Newtown Pike in Lexington KY. Front view.

Left side of the Clarion Hotel. I liked the hosta bed & boxwood shrubs. Hostas can be 24" high in case you want to make some in QS.

Side entrance view.

Clarion Hotel lobby, left side. Next to the fireplace is a cabinet where you can obtain complimentary coffee and ice water.

Clarion Hotel lobby with winding staircase and impressive crystal chandelier.

 Clarion Hotel lobby bench. Floral paintings are seen throughout the hotel common spaces.

Sitting area in Hotel lobby.

We had a surprise awaiting us at the hotel--NO ELEVATORS. Fortunately, there were only two levels.

Hotel rooms were tastefully decorated, but I forgot to take pictures. The room seemed surprisingly large until we realized we had two double beds instead of two queen beds. The bathroom was tight, but clean.
