    I WANT IT!

    How positively Titania's pixies!

    Seriously, my dear Elizabeth. You have made me covet from my kitchen table. :) I am now visiting your website.

    An adorable crown and an original angle on the subject! But I thought you were going to be busy & away? Glad you're here.

    How lovely! Does it come in human sizes or only fairy? Because if midsummer ever decides to show up and stay...I'd love to be wearing it for the occasion...so pretty!

    Hello Elizabeth:
    And why restrict it to one night of the year? If it were ours, then we should take turns to wear it on a daily basis. Think how it would add a little sparkle to trips to the market.

    How I wish your crown were mine. Not to wear, I wouldn't be so presumptuous, a fairie queen I am not; but to leave in the garden overnight, hide myself in the bushes and watch for the creatures who may come out and try it on. And finally, to allow the most beautiful of them all to take it and keep it, with a gracious wave of my hand.

    I love how the colors look against the brown paper, and how it is almost floating in air :-) Your pen work is beautiful and I love your character designs. Happy I found your blog!
