Perfect find

I had seen a few masquerade masks on ebay and thought one might make a nice edition to my 'boudoir box' full of props. However after spending far too much time searching and saving items in 'my ebay' I still couldn't see them up close and never got around to choosing.



So how strange I found it today, walking past a shop I've walked past time and time again, that there it was a red and gold mask with feathers my cats would adore (and no doubt my husband would allow them to play with!) sat high up on the top shelf of their window display. Its ones of those shops I lovingly call 'weirdy shops' you know the sort, smells divine, full of incense sticks, mirrors, wood carvings, candles, one of those shops you just get lost in.



But it was closed, then I realised that it was actually owned by the flower shop, which was open!



Happily they opened up and this lovely mask is now mine .
