Artificial Dandelions

[Rex_Tremende]

Well, judging by the leaves, those are chrysanthemums, but they will pass for dandelions (and have been suggested here as such in the past).

A few weeks ago, I looked up the silk dandelions at Wythecombefair - still in stock at the time - but not today - marked discontinued. Looks like we might have to wait until spring again.

Regards,
Rex.

Yep, Joann's is where I get mine!

Our member Chas who lives in England has grabbed every dandelion in stock and Wythcomb Faire. They should be in my shop in the next week or so.

Wythcomb Faire has promised to let us know when they get another shipment.

Stay tuned, this adventure is not over.

Hi Steve and All,

I received the dandelions from Withycombefair; re-packaged and shipped them off to Steve.

They went by courier on a Vincent Black Shadow to Land's End; where they were handed over to a long distance, deep sea swimmer. They are as we speak, ploughing their way through the North Atlantic, luckily too early for the winter storms.

When they make landfall in either Nova Scotia or Labrador, they will be handed over to the first of a succession of runners who will toil day and night to bring them to Steve's door. By then, of course, any residual moisture from the long immersion in the North Atlantic will have evaporated.

They will then arrive looking fresh as a d d d Dandelion.

Or, unromantically, they left by airmail and should be with you, Steve, very soon.

Regards

Chas

Chas.

I was just pulling on my swimming cap after rubbing myself down in goose fat, ready for my leg on the swim and now you tell me you've sent them in the bloody post. Tishk...
...never again will I agree to be a part of your hair-brained schemes...

John

You look very fetching in the goose fat and they do say that it does wonders for the complexion.

Regards

Chas

Chas.

So all shipping in the Western Approaches do not have to turn, forthwith, 90 degrees to the South, due to a reported yellow turtle like thing being a hazard to navigation?

They went by courier on a Vincent Black Shadow to Land's End; where they were handed over to a long distance, deep sea swimmer.

Darned unusual Vincent, if you ask me. Most of the ones with which I'm familiar have less than stellar braking. The transition from motorcycle courier to deep-sea swimmer could have been seamless.

The box from Chas with the Wythcombfaire Dandelions arrived yesterday.

I still need to package these and set a price for them.

But I thought I would give you a taste.

The box from Chas with the Wythcombfaire Dandelions arrived yesterday.

Those leaves are more accurate, but the flowers look the same.
