    Oh Wow, Vick this is stunning. Your poppies are gorgeous. You are really on a roll with the old fushion lark now. I bought some candles and frames from the Swedish shop last week and you've inspired me to get creating now.
    Hope life is good with you.
    Hugs Lisax

    Hi Vicky - wow, your hand painted candles are really beautiful -you said bad light when photographed - well it hasn't detracted from their beauty. I looked down your blog and there was a Grace card that was very pretty - did you paint the image? Mary G x
