There are no words strong enough to express my admiration to people like this lady, who truly was a Collector with a capital "C" as well as all the Artisans who make these complicated mini works of art.

There were quite a large number of overseas visitors from Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium, Australia and America.

Of course the list of exhibitors included many overseas artisans, not to forget our own lovely IGMA Artisan Lidi Stroud of Nambucca's Little Shoppe, who truly was busy when I reached her stand and who greeted me with a large smile and great energy.

I also had the pleasure of meeting CDHM's Jacqui Perrat of Ceynix Miniature Trees 'n' Trains again - although only very briefly as her stand was very busy with people at all times but I did manage to get a picture.
