I agree that Tom Bombadil is truly unforgettable, especially as our heroes were, by the time they met him, surrounded by menace; his home was a very welcome haven and his wife one of the most unusual and wonderful characters also.

i have been enjoying your Etsy shop and blog for some time, but did not realize that you were here, also.

I hope your Year of the Tiger will be filled with beauty, strength and artistry!

Gosh, thanks for your beautiful message. I'd not heard that about Spring turning the corner and floating in the wind - lovely, poetical and yet very real, when you think about it.
P.S. Your blog is a real delight!
