The cowslip is a favorite flower of the fairies, prized for its magical properties. This skirt also calls forth beautiful shells found unexpectedly along the beach on a summer’s day, with its nautilus spiral echoing the natural unfolding of magic in our lives. A truly special skirt indeed! (Interweave)
