A selection of fairies are now available for sale in the Alchemist Gallery in Dingwall, in the Highlands of Scotland.

Have you bought a fairy or a princess?  Have you given it a name?  Is it for a Christmas decoration or for year round decoration.  If you have an Instagram account I would love to see where your fairy/princess lives.  Tag your photo with #highlandheffalumpfairy so we can share the love.

If you are wondering why only some fairies have wings, these are some of the reasons:

1. Perhaps you don’t believe in fairies and prefer to think of them as princesses.
2. You do believe in fairies, but think that some fairies haven’t earned their wings yet.  Remember Clarence the angel from the classic movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’?  He hasn’t earned his wings until at the very end of the movie.
3. You believe in fairies and think some of them are shy or modest and prefer not to flaunt their wings but keep them out of sight until needed.

When I am making them I get a feeling whether they should have wings, or not. I go with my gut instinct! If you are interested to see how I make them please check this link.

Here’s a gallery of some of the fairies. 🙂
