Her mother owned a craft store from the 60's through the 80's and never threw anything away. Currently, they are in tubs at school where my kids thread them for fine motor practice and take home bracelets and necklaces to their moms.<br />Wednesday I won't be at the show as I thought it might be nice to drop in at work this week and Wednesday is the 100th day of school!

I thought of you the other day when looking at my primroses that have been outside for a while now. Not a whole lot of slug damage but the flowers looked awful having been pelted with heavy rain. They looked very real! You'll be waiting for a long time, I'm afraid.
