the PIXIE KITTEN by Max
Bailey and Elizabeth Ruffing |

|
Celeste
is a
cheerful, mischievous
little sprite. She’s been known to appear when you least expect her.
|
 |
|
From far away, Celeste
can hear
the flowers swaying to the music of the soft summer breeze. She loves
music,
and the color yellow.
|
|

|
|
Celeste
hovers over the flowers,
and flies in amongst them, encouraging each and every bloom to be as
beautiful
as it can be. Her golden tutu floats around her body like a gauzy,
magical
cloud.
|
 |
If
you are
out in the garden,
Celeste may startle you. It’s very like her to suddenly emerge, and
then just
as suddenly disappear.
|
 |
|
You
might
think you just saw a
yellow butterfly, perhaps a tiger swallowtail. It was probably Celeste,
playfully flitting from place to place, bringing her blessings and
funny little
tricks to all those who are fond of her.
|
 |
|
Celeste
is an original
one-of-a-kind work of art, created from our own design and pattern. She
is made
from 100% cotton fabric which has been sewn, stuffed, and completely
hand
painted with acrylic paints. She is 8 and 3/4 inches tall, and 6 inches
tall
when
seated.
|
 |
|
Celeste’s
arms and legs are
button-jointed with antique-looking, filigreed silver-colored metal buttons,
so she
can easily pose. Her tabby kitten face was sculpted from paperclay,
smoothed
into her fabric head. Her front paws are needle-sculpted, and her
whiskers are
made from stiffened cotton thread. Celeste has a striped curly tail
than
enables her to sit all by herself on a shelf or a table, or in a
cabinet. She
will also sit on a chair or stand with a doll stand. (Chair and doll
stand not
included.) Celeste
is meant for display
only.
|
 |
|
Celeste
is
wearing a delightful
tutu made from layers of tulle in two shades of gold. It has a
hand-sewn
waistband of soft gold that snaps at the back, and has an coral
satin rose at the center. Her magical wings are made from cotton
fabric, and
are completely hand-quilted.
|
 |
| Celeste’s
bodysuit is painted in
a rich gold color, with a half moon of painted flowers decorating the
neckline. Her
ballet shoes are painted in rich pumpkin brown to match the same color
in her
wings. |
 |
|
Celeste
is
signed and dated, and
sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation. She comes
with a hang tag, a certificate of authenticity, and a copy of her story.
|
 |
| Many hours go
into the making of
each of our dolls. We strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and
artistry,
and we pay great attention to small details. Each doll is a
unique work of
art, and we are able to produce them in only a very limited number. We do our best
to create little dolls with big personalities because that is what we
love to
do. |

you decide
to adopt Celeste, she will come carefully packaged and
