I liked them so much that I made sure that my granddaughters also had copies of them. <br />Strangely enough I can still remember those moments when we arrived at our beach holiday destination. I am standing on the wooden sea break, soaking up the excitement and smelling the salty sea air.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-27148661544077987802012-07-15T14:52:01.731+01:002012-07-15T14:52:01.731+01:00You're so lucky to have known the flower fairi...You're so lucky to have known the flower fairies from such a young age. They're not known around here really, probably because the books are in English. I discovered the flower fairies accidentally on the internet a few years ago and I've loved them ever since, even if I'm all grown up already ;-). <br />What a great picture of you as a little girl. It does make me think of the flower fairies, the way you stand and the cute dress and of course the happy smile.<br />Bye,<br />Marianflowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-73984077444313135302012-04-26T19:35:51.271+01:002012-04-26T19:35:51.271+01:00Dear Anne - this evening it suddenly came to me wh...Dear Anne - this evening it suddenly came to me who you were - sorry if I was a bit vague in my response - I realise now that we share mutual friends.<br />I will have a look at your daughter's blog.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-43115128369587576962012-04-26T10:47:38.706+01:002012-04-26T10:47:38.706+01:00Dear Anne - I am sorry but not sure what you mean....Dear Anne - I am sorry but not sure what you mean. Your comment has come through OK so presumably you have joined Google. I do not think that there is any other way of doing it, as it allows comments to be moderated in case of spam.<br />I am pleased that you enjoyed the Flower Fairies, and I was interested to learn about your Aunt. It is a shame that there was no one found to publish it, however, it is good that you still have the paintings. Do you have them framed?

What a beautiful interlude with the music, Flower Fairies and you, glowing with childhood happiness.<br />My Aunt was a music teacher and had a nursey school in Grange-over-Sands in the 1950's. She wrote a 'Flower Fairy' story book for the children and asked the artist, Gilbert Spenser, who was a friend, to do some illustrations. Sadly, it never found a publisher, but we do still have the beautiful drawings Gilbert Spenser gave her. I thought with your artistic talents you may be interested in this! Anne Boden. One technichal question - how does your blogspot allow people to comment freely WITHOUT having to join Facebook or Google? My daughter has done a briliant one but says I have to join Google and I am not keen.<br />Here is the link to her blog http://cfandhealthy.blogspot.com <br />just in case you would like a look - she has a recipe for home-grown basil pesto on her April entries.

Now I am thinking where my love for flowers came from. My parents were very poor when I was a little child, living in a shack of a house but we had a beautyful little garden with a red climbing rose. When people asked me what do you want to be when you are an adult I always answerd I want to be a flower girl (no idea now what I had in my mind what a flowergirl was ment to be). Thanks bringing back beautiful memories. Your springflowers are so beautiful. Have a lovely evening.<br />MarijkeMarijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848940570958437408noreply@blogger.com
