There will be new craft products in the 1st few months of 2012. We will see Decoupage, CD's and Rubber Stamps of the Paintbox Poppets series. These are been produced by the very popular Crafter's Companions.

I am deeply saddened to inform you that a former and founder director of the Crisalis Collectors Club, and Christine's brother, died on the 28th November in a road accident in Turkey.

Our thoughts and prays are with the family and friends at this sad time.

All these figurines can be ordered from now and they will be delivered from the 25th July.

I am sure you will love them all.

Thank you again for your continued support.

What a day it was!, Didn't the couple look splendid in their outfits and Westminster Abbey looked it's best.

So, I am pleased to announce that the winner of a free signed figurine is:

A Sirley from Cornwall UK.

Many congratulations and we will be contacting you today.

Thank you again for everyone that ordered.

Good Luck!

We have some new discounts and offers in our Spring Sale on the website. These are not only for Mothers, but for every occasion too.

Here we are into late October and just getting around to writing this newsletter. It's taken a long time for the figurines to come into stock. I recall the last newsletter when I mentioned about the new figurines arriving in July. Not knowing that they were several months late! Just want to say sorry for keeping everybody waiting who had ordered these pieces.

We have made significant improvements to the website since its launch. You are now able to register your figurines on line; you just need to set up an account. Also we are offering reward points for every purchase made. Throughout the year we have special priced offers, double points and your chance to have your figurines personally signed by me!

We are also pleased to announce that there are several 'other' new products due over the coming months. These are Faerie Poppets, mugs/beakers, trinket boxes and metal wall plaques. Initially there will be limited designs but more will be introduced next year. These can be found on the website from the 6th November.

As i mentioned before, you can keep track of any news by following my Facebook and Twitter ‘tweets’, also my general blogs on the website.

Now to the new figurines! There are 2 new Faerie Poppets and 1 new Angel Whispers that have just come into stock and there are 4 new faeries and 2 angels due in January. These can be ordered from the middle of November on our website. Here are descriptions of some of them.

Faerie Poppets

'Faerie Cradle'

A radiant faerie gazes tenderly at her tiny baby as she sings a soft lullaby. The baby faerie sleeps on peacefully. The mother faerie wears a fine white dress trimmed with pastel detail. The baby faerie faeries lies in a cradle made of daisies. A truly evocative piece and one that really captures the emotion of the moment.

'Evening Primrose Faerie'

I first saw these magnificent flowers in a friend's beautiful cottage garden. It was twilight and the delicate scent they gave was delightful. I decided to make the colours of this piece quite dramatic, with a rich blue and yellow gown and coppery coloured hair for the faerie. I think this piece has captured the truly wonderful qualities of the flower and the dazzling beauty of the faerie.

Angel Whispers

'Angel of Answered Prayer'

What a magnificent angel this is! The imaginative and intricate design of her gown is simply stunning as is the palette of colours used. There are numerous golden crystals and tiny painted seed pearls decorating her dress. The expression on the angel's face is so ethereal and her specially designed tiara finished this truly amazing piece.

I am now signing 20 figurines a month, so order soon and you could have a signed figurine!

I hope you like my descriptions as there are still collectors who dont have access to a computer where these can be found!

As always, a heartfelt thank you for your valued support and for buying my creations.

With very Best Wishes

Christine
