Hi Bethany, Here are the images and info for our 100 Treasures show. A few are old favorites, but I tried to focus unfamiliar ones as you requested. I've bolded the ones I definitely want to include on the website, but use as many as you want. Some photo editing may be needed to make these look their best. Check with Roberta Gilboe if you have any copyright identification questions. Thanks!
