Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

Dutch Mushroom Days and Selling My Own Design of Brass Mushrooms

On Wednesday, June 1 in 1988 my Pieter did build a stand for me at the Dutch Mushroom Days, an annual event with exhibition.
Pieter built this for me and I was selling my own design of brass mushrooms, see link below post from previous info about that.
This is a photo taken from both of us during the official opening of the Dutch Mushroom Days
My sales went very well over 3 days.
On Sunday, June 5, Dad did bring us to the airport in Düsseldorf, Germany in our Audi rental car that I'd taken to work in Germany on Sunday May 15. Till my consulting job was over on Saturday May 28...
Dad returned the Audi for us, was within walking distance from his home.
We flew from Düsseldorf to Venice, Italy for buying property...see post below.

  2. Hello Mariette, That stand was a good design--the black color really shows off the brass mushrooms to advantage. Were they polished brass or lacquered?

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Thank you and the black sure did do its magic.
      They were laser cut, polished and lacquered and made in Germany.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    1. Dearest Tamago,
      My Pieter always has been a handyman, smart and very practical.
      Those mushrooms were so loved, especially by the Japanese at the previous year's ISMS Congress in Braunschweig, Germany. That was really a fun interaction with so many people from around the world.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    1. Dearest Anne,
      Guess the person in Germany who did laser cut them, hand polish and lacquer, is no longer in business...
      It was a great time having these around.
      Hugs,
      Mariette
