I received fabulous feedback from so many people who dropped by my stand, and I appreciated that they sought me out as, for most of the show, I was busy there, on the other side of the venue to where the artwork was hanging.
We again received lots of lovely entries in the Flower Power comments book, and I typed them up while sitting at the airport waiting for my flight home. They follow below, along with a few new photos taken during the show:
