"We were worried about the invitations to large downtown churches. St. Michael's would be a good test of the popularity and acceptance of our show. We decided to try it. We hired the hall for June 25 for $25.00 and felt as if we had really gone out on a limb. We had tickets printed for 50 cents, the going rate, and then began to search for more costumes...Came the night and every seat was filled. Favourable comments were everywhere. That was all we needed. We accepted the many invitations we had received and our amazing story had begun. How could we have imagined where it would lead us, or what wonderful experiences lay ahead."

"We were told of a beautiful old gown worn at the opening of the Crystal Palace in London in the mid 1800s. Unfortunately, it was all in pieces, the beaded apron front in one place, the skirt given to someone to use for satin cushions, something else stored in someone's garage. Eventually all the pieces were delivered in a brown paper bag. This was a real challenge for Wyn, but in three weeks she had created a lovely gown which she wore. Along with its interesting story it was always featured in the frequent interviews done by the Tribune in those days. Unfortunately, all this made the gown far too valuable to be used in this way and we were requested to return it. A few weeks later, there it was, in the Tribune, being worn by a lady who had bought it to wear at a fancy ball for Lord Selkirk."
