In the case I find that I have something PERFECT for you in my collection that I want to share, would decanting into a squat itty bitty bottle with a screw top lid or rollerball be ideal?<span>﻿</span></strong>
</p>

		<b>I hand-make light-weight hair falls, the kind that is NOT meant to look real, but more like doll (or Dolly) hair. I use stuff like recycled silk, ribbon yarn and the like to keep them extremely light-weight and pretty. Is this something you would like?

		<b>Is there anything you particularly have your fingers crossed for on your wishlist?</b>
	</p>

	<p>
		 
	</p>

	<p>
		Hmmmm, thats so kind to ask. I think the ones I want the most are also the hardest things to find. And having wishes makes me happy as it gives me things to daydream over. Anything given in love makes me feel happy, so do not sweat my wishlist.
	</p>
