		<description><![CDATA[  Who doesn&#8217;t love a fairy?  We love this book!  I have never done Ribbon Embroidery, &#8230; and I am a bit scared of Stumpwork, especially with Jane Nicholas living just down the road.  When Cicely Mary Barker&#8217;s Flower Fairies™ in Ribbon Embroidery &#38; Stumpwork arrived in store, Kerry and I were drooling.  This book is truly breathtaking.  There [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dianthus: Elaine&#8217;s Botanicals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aha, we are back at Dianthus, I already shared with you that these grew outside my window in a small rockery garden when I was a little girl.  The sun shining on them in the summer mornings brought a delicate scent through the window.  These sweet little flowers are closely related to the carnation but are smaller [...]]]></description>
