There is a rumor that amongst the deep, dark seaweed of the Caribbean there is a very unique pirate’s treasure. She is Bluebeard’s princess, known as Mirabella. She is a mermaid who stole his heart and he brings all the royal treasures to her. Her sweet singing reminding him all along of their silent longing and secret bond.
The owl is honored by its mistress, Athena, for its keen sight in darkness. An air of opulence abounds as wistful sweeping swags of tapestries gracefully intertwine.

Next in the series of the lovely birthstone beauties is the Topaz Fairie. She has iridescent dragonfly wings that carry her in a pale lemon chiffon dress. She is harvesting the las crimson blooms of summer to brighten her winter days. The citron stones and sparkling beads crown her the Fairie Queen of November.
The legend of the mermaids of Atlantis can be traced back as far as the eight century BC. She swims about the marble halls, greek columns and ascending stairs covered in coral. Such beauties are the keepers of pirates treasure and the caretakers of the lost city of Atlantis. Although they have never been caught there have been many, sightings near rocky cliffs and the waves at dusk.
In this ballad of needlework the crystals hang from the chandelier like notes on a page. there is an orchestra of dark, dramatic roses and heirloom pearls playing on the gown of a lady in white. Each stitch is a musical note from the overture to the closing of this dramatic opera.
In the garden at dusk is where you find the “Lady of the Mist”. She is usually surrounded by many petaled mossy roses. The petals are crushed beneath her feet and their heavy scent is thick in the air. The crickets sweet symphony accompanies the sound of her rustling satin gown. You can see her when the blue moonlight reflects across her pale skin. Why she chooses to linger in such a place is a beautiful mystery.
Planting bulbs, covering perennials, and harvesting the end of summer pumpkins are all joys near to a gardener’s heart. The fourth design in our garden series celebrates autumn in all it’s windblown glory.
Hang all four together or one at a time to beautifully illustrate the changing seasons.
On Christmas Eve the Gothic windows were laced with frost. Icicles gleam as the snow flutters in silence. A lady in red cups her hands around a single snowflake and tiny crystal snow drops are scattered across her plush, velvet cape. May all of your Christmas Eves be filled with magical beauty and peace.
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!
White glowing stars reflect over a gown of satin ribbons and brocade.
The dress is stitched in soft greys and dusty blues and covered in swirling starry beads. As the lady watches the sky filled with luminous diamonds she wishes upon them all.
Dreams placed on a star really can come true.
