Re: AWI Collection gets an airing.

My security thingummy wouldn't let me on to your site (which seems odd, as I have been before a few times). Nevertheless, always glad to see a nice AWI collection - and that definitely is a VERY nice AWI collection!

Lovely, but.....eight of them? Does it include the cousin that nobody ever talked about when Snow White was around?
