This weekend was the Home Show in Winnipeg ant I took it in this afternoon. Lots of stuff, and lots of people. I normally skip this show, but there was somebody I knew with a very unique product exhibiting this year. Henry Hiebert is a master builder and the father of our soon to be daughter in law, Mandi. I’d seen Scott & Mandi put together the Heirlooms by EMRL web site and design some brochures for the show, and I was really interested in seeing these dollhouse in person. Some additional photos.
They are incredible! And wow, do they interest women of all ages. His young lady was immediately drawn to the dollhouse and instantly started re-arranging the furniture. Hmmm, that sounds familiar… like “just a little to the left, no too much back just a 1/4 of an inch, actually I think it looked better against the other wall, can you move it over there?” She would have spent the rest of the day there but her mom, pulled her away.
The rest of the show was quite interesting and since were considering some home renovations, I picked up a couple of brochures and a few ideas. On the way out, I stopped by the Advanced Home Entertainment display area. Big mistake. Have you seen the 112″ plasma HDTV for a mere $75,000? Perhaps not just yet. As about the same size, and for my taste the Sony projection unit against a screen was even better. The quality was outstanding, the viewing angle amazing, and I didn’t even know it was projection until somebody walked in front of the projector and caused a shadow in the screen. Projection has come a long way.
