My family used to have shareholders' meetings there for their company. It was always such a big deal to get dressed up and wander around. Oh this reminds me of going there when I was younger!

Now I'm obsessed! Besides her fabulous eye for style, she was a first-rate entrepreneur and as well known as Martha Stewart in her day. I'm halfway through reading one of her recently re-released books, "Entertaining is Fun!", and it's a complete delight. Can't wait to pick up "Decorating is Fun!" as well.
