I was wondering if there is a picture of the stool all done?
Can it be posted before giving it to him? I won't get to see it up close because I'm not attending the R.I. show.

If not it's ok.
Hey if you can't post it now it will be a perfect excuse for me
to wave a big sign at the Portland show saying.....Guys I need to
get up on stage so I can take a close up look of that stool.
The stool should be finished tomorrow - - nothing like last minute lucys here...
Grimsby has taken photos of it in every stage and is writing a story to go with it. I'm sure she will share with you all - either before or after the RI show.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE AMYREBO
I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN FOR IT.
OK - I just printed off the letter and it looks beautiful. It's very simple, yet sort of elegant looking.
Do you think I can get a stupid envelope to print out?
I think I've got a fine point black marker here somewhere. I'm just going to write his name on it with my best handwriting (which is pretty good). Like it or lump it, Taylor.

Ha ha - I didn't think of doing that...
But I don't want to scare him!!!

My items for the CONCORD New England themed food and goodie and misc. items masculine gift buckets:
I bought four packages of Pepperidge Farm (company in CT) Nantucket cookies...two for the band/crew bucket and 2 for Taylor's bucket. The darndest thing is they changed the packaging and they are no longer called "Nantucket" so the band won't get the NE connection but I guarantee they will make short order of the cookies!
I bought 2 boxes of Salt Water Taffy....one for each bucket....there is a little story on the box about how it's a New England coastal treat and for many years people have brought it back as a "souvenier" from trips to NE beaches and the box has a lighthouse and a NE coastal scene on it.
I will bring this stuff to Margarita's before the show!

Andrea, awesome job with the goodies! (I'm a Tahoe girl myself...)
Just a reminder to everyone else...
If you plan on contributing to the boxes, please bring your "regional snack foods"

to the preparty at Margarita's (which I'm pretty sure starts at 4 PM on Friday, even tho I will be late, as usual). Trishie's been working her butt off decorating them and I think she's even making custom confetti in NESP colors! So now we gotta fill 'em up and feed our boys... so they keep coming back. Kinda like that hedgehog in my back yard.
I'm just wondering if, with all the salt water taffy, I ought to give them a couple tubes of toothpaste from Sheffield Tube of New London, CT!
