However, I did manage to get an early bird sneek-peek at some of the amazing pieces that Vince & Grace Evans will have on hand !
(which I'd have to wager are probably sold by now, as his work tends to be gone as soon as the table covering is lifted ;-)
Vince gave me his permission to post these up, if I wished, once the show got started !
So .... lets pretend were standing with the gang in Atlanta and Vince has just unveiled his table .... Ooooooh ....Ahhhhh !
Enjoy, Mac
