A little something for Halloween.....

Mallorie doesn't remember much about her life before she met the Lady. It was a time of pain, hunger, and fear but most of it has thankfully faded over the centuries. She does know, that since she awakened in the Lady's arms to her new life, she's never been afraid or in pain and her hunger is very different and easily satisfied. Especially since she became the castle's chief rat catcher, they always had too many rats. Every night she roams the Lady's castle and its labyrinth of tunnels that connect it to the city with her beloved doll Dementia in tow, searching for vermin of all kinds and always on the lookout for other children that might need rescuing from their unhappy "lives".

A rare glimpse of a wee little Mushroom pixie. These fae are very shy and use their caps as camouflage to hide in the forest but you can find one in my shop right now! https://www.etsy.com/listing/467015351/mushroom-pixie-dollhouse-art-doll?ref=shop_home_active_1

The onset of Summer inevitably brings out in me a desire to make mermaids. This year I decided to do something a little different. It of course involved designing new patterns and new ways of doing things which made the process take considerably longer...BUT...the end result is everything I could have wanted. I give you a mother and baby mermaid which I've titled, “Precious Burden”.

Miranda may be a very young fae but she already knows that when she grows up she wants to work in the court library, because she loves books more than just about anything! Their smell of ink and ages, the buttery softness of the old paper, the beautiful illustrations, and best of all, the wonderful adventures they take her in their pages. She's also a very opinionated little fairy; besides books she likes cats, rainy days, radishes, stargazing, and rose hip tea. She does not like combs, asparagus, wearing pants, or having to go to bed...though the court librarian has frequently found her curled up and napping among the stacks. Despite her many opinions...or maybe because of them...Miranda is a sweet little fae and lights up any room she's in with her happy smile. She can be found in my shop and she will be happy to come live with you...especially if you have lots of books!
