    This is at the Louvre right? We went to see it a few years back, you have brought back a lot of memories!

    Winged victory is looking a bit defeated here are though perhaps her wings have been clipped and she is a bit befuddled.

    That's right, PippaD! I was fortunate enough to visit family in Germany back when I was in college. We took a train to France for a couple days because I couldn't be that close and not visit the Louvre!

    The statue is amazing, and I hope all of you get to see it in person someday. Thank you for all the comments!!

The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
