How lucky are you??!!<br /><br />I'm green, nay, I'm turquoise with envy. Did you get a board shear in the stash? If so, I'm going to go dark purple with envy.<br /><br />Congratulations!

I know that if things were reversed and I was reading that one of you guys had this sort of windfall I think I'd be momentarily turning all shades of lime/ fluro green!.... but I'd hope that I'd also be as gracious as all of you - I know I'm always pleased when I see bookbinding etc gear put to use, and not end up as some weird idea of interior decoration....<br /><br />I also hope I do the collection justice - I'll show more of the amazing stuff in future posts - right now we are madly trying to work out how to fit some of the haul into my little studio....
