Hanging in my living room

The Spring Fairies playsilk is hanging in my living room on the wooden stretch bars from Sarah's Silks. My grandson loves seeing what new playsilk I have displayed each time he comes over. The Spring Fairies is so fanciful and encourages my grandson's imagination.

What a beautiful and fun way to display your Playsilks, and that your grandson looks forward to seeing which ones you have on display for each of his visits! Happy to hear that specifically, the Spring Fairies has encouraged his imagination. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Love that my oldest really wants to play with it. We kept the card that I think I will either laminate or thrift a frame for.

Ooooh framing the card sounds so sweet!

It is thicker than the normals silks so it should last us longer.
