I do apologize to my buddy! I never did find a box that her fairy would fit into!! So, I went online and ordered it instead- which of course means it's going to be another week or more.. I'm so sorry! I won't be buying local anymore I guess - it's easier online and I don't have to find a box LOL

Wind chime swap is open, come and check it out!

(Chris) Des Moines, IA(Zone 5a)

Kathy, I'm glad they finally showed up and that you like them.. I'm really tempted to buy myself a set of those fairies lol.. but that's not what I bought for you originally! I have another fairy sitting here at my house that I never could find the right box for, so that's when I found those online. I always worry when I buy online cause you never know if it's going to be as nice as those pics! :)

Kiowa, CO(Zone 5b)

Yup....sure was!!! It's soo cute......Here's the pix. Thankyou again Chris.
