It's been a tradition here to buy a "fancy" collar for every champion that we've finished. Believe it or not, Tabu is the first champion who's finished in the winter. All the others have finished in the spring, summer or fall. We usually buy a collar that looks like a tapestry--there are a couple booths that have these, but I can't remember the vendors' names. Can anybody help? Either that or I'll have to wait till summer to find the booths! LOL By the way, thanks for all of the congratulatory notes for Tabu--we appreciate it and I hope that I didn't miss writing anybody back. DA LIST IS DA BEST!
