Notes: How brilliant is Flora!? A fairy princess? A fairy godmother? Perfectly posed to grant your wishes. Her costume is fabulous right down to the wonderful butterfly detail on her dress. The backdrop is perfect adding that ‘enchanted wood’ fairytale feel.

    Hello,

    I found your blog by mistake and saw this postcard. My grandfather was born on Oldham Road in 1910! I went to the house a few years ago and saw it. The town is Ashton-Under-Lyne in England. Do you still have this postcard?
