Sometimes I even have to force myself to eat cake and drink tea at the same time! <br />I’ve searched and searched for the wing, but it's nowhere to be seen. I think it must have crumbled away to dust. I did think about removing the other wing, but I’m afraid it might hurt the little fairy, so will probably leave well alone. Anyway if it stays as cold as it is Jack Frost is bound to come back for it.

I come to you from my windy city today; gails and hail have invaded our spring, but that's not putting a cloud over my joy to see that the France party is on!

How I wish I could sit outside amongst the flowers paging through vintage books and tell myself at the same time I am actually working! I was sad to see your fairy's missing wing. It does show off some of the lovely detail of her hair and dress but it makes her a bit lopsided. Do you still have the other wing to re-attach? Otherwise I might be tempted myself to take them both off (if it caused no damage). sharonssunlitmemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817837936506262964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-23701218921483981852013-05-11T12:30:32.537+01:002013-05-11T12:30:32.537+01:00What a lovely job your's must be, to be surrou...What a lovely job your's must be, to be surrounded by books you love, and help other people to acquire! :) Sandy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09463236853839331077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-51270708501436492612013-05-10T22:00:57.135+01:002013-05-10T22:00:57.135+01:00Thank you Hilde, I hope the sun shines for you.
