Gloria, I love the way your mind makes those kinds of connections. Reading Thomas Hardy again! Sometimes I do that too and I get lots of ideas, especially from Mark Twain
Recently I was trying to find what 'recipe' he'd used for the white wash for the fence. He wouldn't have ordered the ingredients online, that's for sure.
This is a great article/idea, Chelle. I'll bet yards and yards of tulle will be sold this year just because of your article. Thanks for sharing such a clever idea.
