Pretty, Pretty, Pretty! In the colors of the cottage garden. - the blue shawl is dyed with "forget-me-nots" - her glittering dew dripped gown is made of woven "celedon" seedlings from her cutting garden, -her wings are the pale pink/purple only found when gazing at certain "cosmos" in bloom against the sun, -the bodice was formed by sewing together rose petals from the climbing rose her grandmother planted that no one can remember the name of. Oh, and lest we forget the lovely "baby blue eyes" that dot the edges of her wings as well as the edges of her garden paths. We think she would be lovely paired with her sister "The Queen Mermaid". ~Nora~ Released on April 1st, 2002. Required materials Stitched on 32 count Chestnut linen by Wichelt Imports.
