This is a Buy Out or buy immediately item which may be purchased at any time.
I should explain that I am the Principal of Mountain Mist Productions and I am located in Australia but our members are from all over the world. We have chosen this auction site to showcase our hobbies and normally members would mail their products to me and I would list them for them and take care of shipping. This item, however is special, and because of the weight we didn't want to double up with postage and so it will be mailed direct from the Artist in the United States.
The Artist is also one of our Authors, Hope Thomas. A lot of us also do other artistic things besides writing and we just decided we would share everything we do and have a little fun along the way. And Hope has really been getting into the spirit of things! You've seen the quality of her dollhouse stuff but I personally think she has oudone herself here.
Hope has pain-stakingly crocheted this beautiful evening shawl and the pictures really do not do it justice since it is very "sparkly". It is gold with an interwoven metallic thread in it and it would look superb with a black evening dress. The fringe is looped and this piece will last a life-time with proper care and would be something to hand down to other generations. I know I'm gushing here and it is not just because I am biased - we passed these pictures around to the whole Family (that's what we call our members) and they were all extrememly impressed.
Here is the description Hope sent:
