There are certain undeniable advantages to being a queen. One of them is that when you say you want something done or made (or, that matter, undone or unmade), it tends to get taken care of pretty quickly, and without question or comment or complaint, and with people's absolute best effort having gone into it.

Most recent case in point: Amy asked for a free standing piece of stained glass ("not too big") of wisteria blossoms, with a chain so that it could be hung in or in front of a window. And, not quite a week later, receives it -- a fairly glorious work of art, pieced together from purples and greens and blues, that positively glows when the sun hits it, and throws patches and pools of color across the floor.

Amy wraps it up very carefully, ties it up with a pale purple ribbon, and tucks a note under the bow:

Laura, For your window, and the world outside it. Amy
