My wife and I went to the PIPEX 2009 show yesterday in Portland, OR.  While we were there this tacky ribbon caught my attention.

I’m sure that the show judges / organizers had a perfectly good reason for “editing” the ribbon.  Perhaps they didn’t have enough produced for the Vermeil place.

This wasn’t the only example of places the were “downgraded” to Vermeil.  The were several others.

The show itself was interesting.  In fact, it was the first time that she actually admitted to “having fun” at a stamp show.
