The Marvelous Land of Oz-Stravaganza! — 4 Comments

  1. So – did you find any gorgeous pieces for your home? It sounds like the perfect opportunity! That town reminds me of the one my dad grew up in and my grandparents lived in when I was little. It was just perfect! (or at least it seemed so to me.) I’m glad you enjoyed the weekend and I hope that lots and lots of “Silver Shoes” were sold!

  2. Thanks very much, Mamie! Yes, I’m happy to report I did very well with sales. I didn’t bring back any furniture with me, however. Especially Stickley! We didn’t make it inside the actual working factory in Manlius to tempt me, though, just the museum in Fayetteville. And most of what we saw was several thousand to several hundred thousand dollars! They had Gustav Stickley’s own bedroom set, etc. None of it was for sale, of course. But I sure loved “window shopping.” And you’re right—the towns of Fayetteville and Chittenango were both picturesque and the people were so friendly. I enjoyed my time there quite a bit.

  3. Silver Shoes is by far my favorite new Oz book to hit the shelves in many, many years! Having Paul Miles Schneider as a guest in Chittenango for the weekend was a pleasure and honor. I hope it will be the first of many visits! Thank you so much Paul for sharing your vision and talents with us all!!!!

  4. Wow, Barb, thanks so much for the compliment and kind words! It makes me very happy to hear you say that. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the book so much, and it was my pleasure to attend this year’s Oz-Stravaganza! You and the rest of the committee really made us all feel welcome and taken care of. I hope our paths cross again very soon.
