Convention 2001 - Head Vase Odyssey

Page 3 News/Pictures from the 2001 Head Vase Convention in Orlando, Florida!

Saturday Evening, January 20

Everyone met in the hotel convention room again - this time for the banquet buffet and program. The food was really good, followed by Margot Banke speaking about The California Potteries. also, an auction took place for some paintings from BLN - I think Maddy was high bidder on most of the pieces. Later, Maddy asked for people to come up and tell something memorable about this convention. Ruth Worthington's story was the best, she had everyone laughing. Dave Barron spoke at the end, he's a riot too - also, he took at least a zillion pictures so I'm sure if you visit his website he'll have a good detailed report of the entire convention - no one can tell it like Dave.

Lastly, door prizes were given out- one gal got the prize for having purchased the most heads this weekend - she had purchased over 50 heads!!

This next picture is of the 3 heads that I bought on this trip. All 3 are ones that I had been wanting for my collection. The Christmas one has always been my favorite, the lady in the green bonnet is like the one on my business card, also one that the French made into a Limoges Box. The Blonde with black hairband is like my "Katie" Ladymoges box. They are a perfect trio!

Me, Kathleen Cole, and Mary Thomas at the dinner

Dave's presention to Maddy - he gives her a "special" head at each convention. Dave, I agree, surely this is one of the "long lost" Betty Lou masterpieces!
