Dance while you can

| Years and years ago, a friend gave me the heavy wreath of flowers. I knew they would find their place eventually - it took a long time. The cast glass nude was, I think, some sort of carnival prize. Again, a gift from a friend. I spent hours carefully sanding a wooden curtain ring until it was a secure fit around the base of the figure, So I could attach it with copper wires to the rotating base. And now it has become the ethos 'dance while you can; smell the roses while you may'. |
