The Bliss Fairy

MD89

Delicately perched on a curling ribbon of grass, she is caught in a serene moment of peaceful meditation. She dons a dress skirted with green and blue leaves. Her arms and legs are draped with beads. If she is disturbed her dew laced wings will scatter droplets and she will flutter away. You will wonder if you even saw her at all!

This fairy seamstress created her ensemble out of gathered bits and pieces from an English cottage garden.

Lilly Of The Woods – The Dreaming Fairy

MD80

Fast asleep after prancing and dancing throughout the night, this beautiful fairy certainly leads a charmed life. With dangling jewels, a glittering gown, and ethereal wings, we find her quietly nestled in a blooming tree. Usually planning parties with her fairy friends and crafting fanciful gifts for them out of blossoms and magic treasures, this is one of the few moments you will ever catch her motionless.

July’s Amethyst Fairy

MD59

Fourth in Nora Corbett’s “Year of the Fairies” Collection, July’s Amethyst Fairy captures a radiant fairy mere moments before she is to meet with her long-awaited fairy prince. Because even enchanted glens get warm in July, her shadow-hued gown is off-the-shoulder satin, accented with precious gems the color of the midsummer sky.
Her bouquet? Rarest lavender roses. And behind her, airy wings flutter majestically, shimmering with violet amethysts – amethysts as perfect as this moment.

Titania Queen Of The Fairies

MD38

The companion to Nora Corbett’s 1997 “A Midsummer Night’s Fairy,” Titania harks from the same enchanted, misted wood. Resplendent in a simple rosebud crown and a pair of golden, gauzy, gorgeous wings, she perches upon a tiny limb and offers these words from Shakespeare to all who lovingly stitch her sumptuous rose and coral gown:
“Hand in hand, with fairy grace, will we sing and bless this place.”
