[The show featured some new dealers, among them Larry and Marie Miller of Dorset, Vt. The Millers are best known for their large collection of Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century quilts, but Marie Miller was busily completing a transaction for a three-board top painted pine table with old green paint at the show's opening. She also displayed a pine Dutch cupboard with original glass, circa 1820, and three schoolgirl samplers.] We did very well and sold across the board, ... Furniture appeared to sell especially well at the show. We sold a nice J&E Norton two-gallon bird jug with especially strong blue color. A visitor from California bought all three of our Nineteenth Century schoolgirl samplers. The show is well run and always a pleasure to do.
