If I lived just a little closer, I would be there in a heartbeat! I collect icons, vintage and new. I would love this!
Oh, I wish you lived closer, too, Willow. I'd relish the opportunity to meet you in person, especially at something as colorful and inspiring as the Icon Festival. There's also a book festival going on in town tomorrow - should be a fun weekend = ' )
