A parcel from Sweden.
Yes, it finally did actually arrive.
I was a bit bemused and a little flattered
when I had contact from a complete stranger, named Mark, via our Lilliput Loft Facebook Page.
He asked me, after reading my blogpost regarding our painted Faerie Room,
if I would mind if his wife used a photo from my blog, for the cover of a book she hoped to publish.
The actual photo was of an unfinished wall.
I replied, "Sure. No worries."
I offered to photoshop a few of the finished pictures into the scene, but they really didn't seem to mind that the scene was not fully completed.
A few weeks went by,
before I heard from this Swedish couple, again.
They informed me that they would post me a copy,
with a 'thankyou acknowledgement' inside the front cover.
OK...so they mis-spelt my name.
Not to worry.
Bit of a buzz to actually see my painted wall on the cover of a book.
I have yet to read this tale, so I cannot tell you what I think of it.
I will try to find the time before too long, to read why my 'wall art' was "SO Perfect" for this tale.
Hope your book goes well for you, Cecilia.
Wishing you all the best.
CONGRATS Victoria!!
