Time takes its toll...

MrsDB used to make a lot of sugar craft flowers and (although it pains to say this) she was damned good at it.  She stopped making them, no reason, just decided 'no more'.  

We were clearing out a big old wall cupboard today and found these on the top shelf.  They haven't survived the last 13 years too well - but who has?

The inset pic shows a pic taken of this batch in their prime.
