Dispatches from Home – The Ocean Liner Exhibition Has Sailed.

Greetings, Dear Ones! Thankfully, what took four weeks to create only took a mere three days to dismantle. The Ocean Liner Exhibition was a lifetime dream! A massive THANK YOU to those who made that dream come true. What would life be without dreams? Right?

A big THANK YOU to all those who came to see the show, too! Thanks to you, it was one of the best-attended shows to date at the Mary C. I’m posting before-and-after snaps of the exhibition. There’s always something somewhat bittersweet about the closing of a show.

Again, THANK YOU! Big hug, y’all! ❤

Come and take tea with us while we plan our next voyage.
The voyage is over, and the house comes down.
James and his amazing model of the SS United States. His fabulous ship models were the exhibition’s icing on the cake, so to speak. Thank you!!!
Where the SS United States once reigned.
A salty old sailor by a window overlooking a family ready to set sail.
Only the window’s left.
Dear little Ned Parfett, the newsboy, shouting the news of the Titanic’s sinking.
Little Ned and the Titanic backdrop are all gone.
A swath of burgundy brocade accents a wall of snaps, vases, and memorabilia.
The antique dresser and its companions await their return home.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!! The hard-working worker-bees that worked like a well-oiled machine to take down and pack the exhibition. Dennis and Gary were camera-shy. LOL.
