this book was a present from a very dear friend
she knows me oh so very well
for i loved it at once
with its tiny, delicate costumes
delicious layout & illustrations
sumptuous colours & use of all things faerieish
bringing back memories of a long ago time
designing my own children's fancy dress clothes
take a peep here
then look forward in anticipation to the soon to be released
fairieality style book

What a gorgeous looking book - is that a David Downton sketch? I love how it looks so effortless.

ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for stopping by my blog and your kind compliments about my dolls. I love this book! I found it a few years back and didn't know a 2nd was coming out-yay!
ReplyDeleteI loved the first book, can't wait to see the second. David Ellwand is brilliant. I can see fairies sitting around a camp fire and reading this book.
