St. Louis: We drove from Kansas City to St. Louis on Wednesday. It was a 4 hour ride, chatting about ornaments. Time flew by, spending time with friends is always enjoyable. Talking about the last event and what would St. Louis have in store for us. We arrived at 1 PM and headed right to Neiman Marcus. When we got there we were greeting by Gift Gallery manager extraordinaire Beth and Kristine and Leslie. They were all to kind to spend some time talking to us. We knew how busy they were but they still spent the time. I mentioned to Beth, ?How do you handle all of us crazy collectors?? She stated, ?You aren?t crazy, you are all passionate.? Perfect answer. We headed out to lunch and caught up with Keith F. in the mall. He was eating a piece of chocolate from a store favorite in the mall. We headed over and had some quality sweets. I needed it as I was having a sugar low.
Later, we headed to another mall before picking up John Atkins that night at the airport. We spotted a wonderful 7 ½ foot white opalescent upside down pre-lit tree. Too bad it was only a display tree and not for sale. It was beautiful and our Breen ornaments would have looked fabulous on it. Time to search Google. We picked John up and headed for a bite to eat. We had a hard time finding in expensive food for the night near the hotel. About 4 miles away we found a wonderful Chinese food with homemade wonton soup.
The event was to begin at 9:15 AM. We arrived at 9AM and no one was around. We began worrying if we were at the correct entrance. Sure enough people started trickling in. We entered the store and went up the escalator to the restaurant. We registered for the event and we were able to order the Lunar Swing Time exclusive. We enjoyed an individual quiche and a peppery sausage that was good. Some strange woman approached me with blonde hair acting as if I knew her forever. The look on my face must have been priceless. Then she announced who she was, it was Deb Meyer with her son Jeff, who created the JustBreen website. Leave it to me to be an embarrassment. The new St. Louis store manager greeted the crowd and Patricia talked for a bit. Then began complimentary ornaments from the studio give-away. The prize piece was a Let?s Decorate with red and white stripes. It was beautiful. A new collector won which is always nice. Barb C won a jeweled lavender spearman. This was the third of its kind but it was beautiful to see it again.
We headed downstairs to begin selecting ornaments. I picked a number in the 30?s. I selected the Let?s Decorate gingerbread and the Painterly Santa bees on my first time through. I got IOUs for the Tea Time Strawberry (which I loved) and the Once Again for James magenta. I met Melissa Reel who has been outstanding with helping me. A brief history of superb customer service, my registration was lost when I first sent it in. Melissa went above and beyond to help me and I really appreciated that type of service. She helped me get a couple of the piece I missed out on my order form as it was also lost too. Thank you Melissa. In addition, Leslie and Kristine did an outstanding job moving the line for the event pieces and the system worked well for all. The registers were a bit slow, but heck with all that we were buying, that wasn?t a surprise. J
The signing began and I had my Let?s Decorate in hand. I am enjoying getting this piece signed as it would be nice to have a complete collection of them signed by the end of the events. We received a artist brush in gray. John A. won the event garland of bunnies. It was beautiful. We said our good-byes and off we went.
We hopped into the car and began our 5 hour trip to Chicago. Along the way we came up with names for each of us. We are now known as Trader John, Monty Hall and me (Julie Breen aka Julie McCoy from the Love Boat) Since, they felt I was the social director?LOL |
