The Enid Blyton Society

Hello,
I know it's a long shot but I am wondering if anyone knows the title of a book I loved in my childhood - it was a collection of short stories but I don't remember many details. I remember an illustration of someone hanging washing out on a line, possibly a story about someone losing matches, and on the inside back cover of the book was something about different girls of different time eras: I remember each had a little verse, the last one being of a girl of the future in a silver spacesuit! There may have been a story in the book about a fairy that needed her wings mending, and they were mended with gossamer thread - or something like that.
Ring any bells?
Many thanks

Any idea roughly when the book would have been published?

There are three short stories with matches in the title:
Amelia Jane and the Matches
Sally Simple's Matches
Dame Thimble and her Matches

Sally and Dame Thimble appear in a couple of different short story collections.
