    No that two items from this seller and I couldn’t be happier with my purchases! Shipping speed was unmatched (superhero status! So fast!) the item was exactly as described and well packaged. I wish I could leave more than five stars for this seller because experiences like this make me want to shop on eBay more frequently! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Exactly as described. The colors and fabric are soft. Very nice top. There was something strange about the delivery. Not with the seller, but I kept getting messages that the package could not be delivered because the address was wrong. I’ve gotten messages like this before. I just ignore them because they’re scams. I don’t know who’s creating them, but they are what they are. Anyway, I eventually received the item, and the address was correct. I would purchase from this seller again.

    Well chosen title and use of poetry.

    One of her better books, although all are good, and should be read in order.
