type of film used

That went out with swordfighting and knickers. Nobody used film anymore....except the professionals.

I keep searching through the pages of Magic Wings, in the hopes of seeing the "handmade quilt by Dottie Case that includes the words Magic Wings 5 times." I've even tried Google/Google Images, to no avail.

(those posters with the letters and numbers naturally-appearing in the butterfly wings are really neat, btw)

404Error, by any chance did you point that camera of yours away from the beautiful butterflies long enough to take a picture of that quilt? It's driving me mad--I want to find the hidden words, but I don't live anywhere near there.

(and did you find all five instances of Magic Wings?)

And one final question--what would you suggest as the minimum age for children to go there? My sister lives close enough to drive there for a day-trip, but I don't know if her boys are too young (either to appreciate what they are in the midst of, or to not go butterfly-chasing). tnx

No Dormouse, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the quilt. I remember seeing it near the admissions counter but as we were with the kids, they were halfway through the door to the conservatory before I was done paying.

As for your second question, the girls are aged 3 and 6 and they both loved the butterflies. I think this place would be interesting for any age group from toddlers on up. Who wouldn't love having butterflies flying all around you. The 3 year old was a little intimidated at first til one of them landed on her and she realized the butterflies are really pretty...and they don't bite!

By popular demand, (from the grandkids) we went back to Magic Wings this past weekend. This time I did take a picture of the quilt hanging in the main lobby. I'll be damned if I can find even one of the five places where 'Magic Wings' appears on the quilt. Anyone?

Well, I do see one.
