Do I Dare

"Do I dare disturb the universe?" - T.S. Eliot

I love Etsy for this specific reason that we get to shot local and small business. Better than what I expected and what touched me the most was little post cards and a sticker included with a thank you note. Such a sweet gesture it is. I will definitely shop here again.
Thank You so much. ♥️

It took quite a while to get from London to Manchester but as it's overseas shipping I had expected it to be a while anyway. Lovely poster - really pleased with it!
