This woman, in her lovely embroidered dress, was manning the WENDWOA (West Nile Disadvantaged Women and Orphans Association) booth which sold handcrafts made by women and orphans in West Nile. After a few minutes of doing the "Don't I know you from somewhere", we realized we had both volunteered with the AIDS Committee of London approximately 20 years ago!
Jamie "Batty" Sabot coordinated perfectly with her sign advertising her "Batty's Bath" handmade soap and body products.
Photographer Norm Wilson gave folks the opportunity to have their photo taken with the original "MET" letters and get a postcard sized print for $5. I was wearing my red wool 1980's dress that I found at Mesh for $10, and it happened to match the sign, so how could I resist? Thanks to Norm Wilson for the photo.
Thank you my friend for the beautiful write up! We so appreciated your ongoing support and as sad as we all are at watching the doors close today, you haven't seen the last of us. Katie and Savannah started something that is grander than us all. If you care(d) about the Met, the London art scene, downtown, shopping local...go to the Met web site and bookmark all the vendor web sites and Facebook pages. We'll do our best to keep you up to date as to "what next"...once we figure it out! HUGE thanks to those who rooted for us all along, and warm wishes for the holiday season.

You look spectacular in that red dress with boots and belt. Very festive!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame, that looks like an absolutely fantastic venue and such interesting and artistic folk, too.
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful in that gorgeous red dress and I'm rather loving that fund-raising lady's Afghani dress, too. x
Great post!
