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.

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?

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

I agree re: the black of the stand showing off the brass mushrooms admirably. I'm sure you were very successful! :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteYes, that stand was done very well by Pieter and I've been very successful selling them at several Conferences.

The stand looks great, Mariette! It's so wonderful of your husband Pieter to build it for you! And your brass mushrooms are very pretty :-) It must have been a fun experience!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteMy 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

DeleteThank you.

Mariette
Wonderful! Are you still doing them?
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteGuess 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
That's great, you're a real mushroom expert.
ReplyDeleteDearest Endah,
DeleteWell, at least my husband Pieter is!
Hugs,
Mariette
Now those mushrooms you did are so beautiful Mariette! No wonder your sales went well, they are treasures :) Happy Weekend dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteDearest Stevenson,
DeleteWell, it was a happy mushroom family design and most people liked them very much.

I think these photos from long ago are wonderful, and tell a beautiful story. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
