She was born with a rare bone disease that broke her bones more than a hundred times and often kept her painting from a bed or a wheelchair. None of it made it into the work, which stayed joyful to the end.

The print is lovely and it works smoothly. There is no indication as to how to retract the measuring tape. Because I have another round one the same size I tried squeezing the center, which is how the other one works. That is indeed how it retracts, but it would be nice if there was a visible dot or button so the buyer would know to do that.
My impression is that this is not a handmade item, but rather mass produced. I have seen similar items at other stores on the internet. I come to Etsy for the handmade quality. I also suspect the print on this item will not last long in my purse brushing up against all the other items.
Laurel Burch's designs because are unique and they display Burch's various artistic designs. They are all very bright in color. I found this small tape measure in MonarquebyFigDesign's shop. The design is called "Blossoming Florals" This has Burch's gorgeous blossoms; flowers all over and they are brightly colored. I bought this for me because I didn't see one in the dog pattern. Let's face it, I like all of her things. The item I received is identical to the one I saw on Etsy at this seller's shop. It arrived in no time at all, and it was packed safely.
This purchase and experience were good for me, and I am pleased with every detail. I would purchase from this seller again. Diane Davis
