You are so clever.<br /><br />Maybe next April I will hand over the darling birdhouse I bought at least 5 years ago -- which is still sitting in the same place in my family room. Better you than me!<br /><br />xx<br /><br />Sophia<br /><br />PS Well done on the article.

The bird house looks good in is run-down, weathered form, I'm sure the Blue Tits love it (do you actually get Blue Tits over there!?) <br /><br />It sucks having no money, I know the feeling, over-indulgence and an unreliable car have SO much to answer for!! I wish you luck and many golden sales in your fairy house venture, just don't go production line again and take all the joy out of it! I and funding my own financial strait by flogging some old tat on ebay, maybe you could try that too to raise a few coins!?<br /><br />Hugs<br />Andy xAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064247140624108019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-90071547536376330552014-07-20T16:02:16.368-05:002014-07-20T16:02:16.368-05:00HI John,

Serve you right if they move in - can be very pesky. Have you ever seen Melissa Chaple's work? - I can send you photos.... Did a piece on her for DH&MS. Have you seen fairy doors? - lovely for any garden room - I know you have a summerhouse in your garden.

Hang in there John. It might be lemons now, but I'll bet you'll transform them into lemon meringue pie before you know it.<br />Thanks for the great video.
