Mark Roberts Fairies are unique and charming life-like characters that can be enjoyed from one generation to another. Each piece exudes individuality and personality resulting from hand-painting and fabrication by skilled artisans. All pieces are wired to allow for a magical and fanciful pose. Each is a numbered limited edition which comes with an official registration form.
Looks like you had a wonderful caring pardner. I love the Christmas fairy. Boy, I must live in a cave cause sometimes, when I visit our friends, I see and read about the neatest things. Now I'm going to go read about Mark Roberts. If only I could retain some of this. LOL

Such a great box of goodies you got BJ...and the fairy is the sweetest one of all...I'm like Chris in not knowing about Mark Roberts...gotta go now & read about him. Hugs, ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful swap box you received. I love all of your Christmas goodies. And, your fairy is the fairest of all. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning BJ, your Christmas swap is so sweet. I did a swap for Halloween and had so much fun but opted not to do the Christmas one. Now I wish I had. Such is life. Your gifts are all wonderful but I agree with you about the Christmas fairy. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
What a wonderful package! A sweet treat for a sweet lady:>) Have a great day BJ!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me very Happy. Hope everyone else is as happy as you.
ReplyDeleteThat fairy is pretty special. What a sweet partner. :)
ReplyDeleteOh BJ, I'm so glad you liked your Christmas Swap surprises. When I looked back at your blog archives to get to know your "likes" and saw that you liked Mark Roberts Fairies I knew what I was going to send you. We have a store in our mall that carries the fairies and this year they have the cutest little elves with the most amazing expressions on their sweet faces. They've decorated the store window with them. If I think to take my camera the next time I go, I'll snap a picture and post it.
ReplyDeleteOh, be sure and send in the registration card for the fairy. Mark Roberts sends you a calendar and lots of goodies in the mail about where he will be on his signing tours and the new releases. That way I'll know someone out in West Texas is drooling over them right along with me here in the Sunshine State.
Love and Hugs, Andi
Good Morning BJ... Wow what alot of wonderful gifts... All the gifts were so nice but I was really fond of the Mark Roberts Christmas Fairy... Just adorable... Have a great Tuesday...

Hey BJ! Thanks for telling me about Boomama! I actually did see some holiday tours from last year, but I don't think I got there through her place. In particular, I remember Angelic Accents & Jessica McCash's holiday decor, which was awesome. I can't bear to think of what I might have missed - YIKES! Thanks for letting me know it was the 15th. We've had a stomach virus running around our house, and I haven't been able to read everything as I would like...can't keep up w/ the laundry! Happy Thanksgiving! Will catch back up with you when I return! LOL!
