A WONDERFUL FIND

I must share some loveliness and a wonderful e-bay seller with you. I came across Michelle Bowen's 'The Purple Iris Collection' last week. It began with a sweet cottage type clock.

It reminded me of something from childhood and I thought perhaps I should bid. I could not go crazy with bidding at this point as finances would just not allow so I took a chance with the first bid and crossed my fingers. Lo and behold, it was meant to be mine. Transaction complete I figured the next thing would be I'd find it at my door within a week. Well, the first thing that happened is I got the sweetest note from Michelle thanking me for purchasing and telling me that if for any reason I did not like my clock it was absolutely guaranteed money refunded no questions asked. It was the sweetest note ever. I've certainly not received anything like that in the 9 years or so that I've been active in e-bay.

Then, I come home to a sweet package at my door. Opening it up was a delight in and of itself.

This is my first view of the gorgeousness inside the box!!



It felt too pretty to disturb and I prolonged the process as long as possible





This lovely $2.00 off shipping on a future (is there any doubt?) purchase




A beautiful, personal note to me




And finally, the object of my affection!!
Is this not the most luscious clock for a girl, ever??
I love the sweet little ticking I hear when I walk past it.

So, I am recommending, with the highest of recommendations, Ms. Michele Bowan for the lovliest of cottage-type artifacts, beautiful packaging, lovely lady.
