Reczuch said she used ar- tistic licence in a picture of a downtown street where she rearranged a row of Mill Street shops, including the former Sweet Dreams Café, Close to the Edge, The Doll Emporium and Bank of Montreal. "There's a section that talks about the colours of a strip of stores looking like melted ice cream on the street and it made me think of the Doll Emporium, so I took some pictures on Mill Street and used some other archi- tectural details," Reczuch said. The book is done in pas- tels, a new medium for Reczuch, who enjoyed the freedom of pastels that al- lowed her to "break out of the mold" after doing eight wa- tercolour books.

I've known Walt since schol age and have had dealings with him for years. Tunderstand the matter in question is $2,500. This amount of money would not tempt me to deal elsewhere because of Walt's excellent business manner, his sales- men, and most ofall his serv- ice department which is sec- ond to none in the country.
