“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2011 19 Buck house were extremely cordial and helpful — more importantly, they were very interested in all of the things we had brought with us and in Ukr ainian folk art in general. Our half of the dining room was decorated with embroidery, straw angels, an icon painted on glass, Teddy Bears in Ukrainian costumes, and a swag with hand - painted ornaments with Ukrainian embroidery designs. The tree had white lights, beaded ornaments, beaded snowflakes, and, of course, beaded spiders. As we stood back to look at our work we were satisfied with a job well done, but wondered what other people would think. At the end of each tour, visitors vote for their favo rite display. When I went to the opening night reception, I was thrilled when I heard the comments p eople were making about our display , m a n y expressing delight at the bandura players, Roma Dockhorn and Bohdana Yaroshevych, who formed part of the Ukrainian tableau. The curator informed me that all the docents and staff were very impressed with the decorati ons. And a few weeks later, we received an email informing us that our display had won first place in the 2010 Festival of Trees. It’s nice to win, especially because winning has several intangible rewards besides titles or ribbons. As winners, we are invited back next year and get first choice of which room to decorate. Another win was learning how well the people involved worked together. We are already talking about next year ’ s display, but we are also already working on another joint project: We will be holding an exhibit on gerdany from April 1 through April 3, 2011, at the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center in Jenkintown. Hope to see you there.
