4/29/2103 Why I Love This Website

I come home from my grueling day (and night ) job today and in the mail was this amazingly funny and clever fairy gnome or troll and the beautiful hand-painted card.   Also in the mail was an amazingly quickly received check and a notice for a 50th wedding anniversary party from a refined Californian who has endured so much and yet is always so kind to me - and who is another extremely valued customer and friend.  Both of these very special women are exactly why I keep this modest business going.   It keeps me balanced and reminds me of how many decent people there out there.   That is a real gift that I truly appreciate! THANK YOU!

Quote from Liz: "I started this miniature world in my front garden in 2008 after a lifetime fascination with fairies in the garden. It is constantly evolving.  Though I am past 50, I've always felt my real age to be about 9 :-)".  Check her out - she seems to have a great spirit!
