This fairy was inspired by the beautiful Under the Stars Farm in Gloucester, VA. As a guest, you walk through rows of fragrant purple colors, with the opportunity to trim and take home your own lavender for personal use. As you take in all the hues of the purple lavender and let your nose explore the calming lavender scent, you also get the pleasure of seeing delicate butterflies enjoying this intoxicating environment and witness the hard work of the bumble bees flying from lavender plant to lavender plant as they work their pollinating magic.

This pattern is for advanced beginners as the wings can be difficult to make. Ms. Periwinkle stands 8 inches tall and is 5.5 inches wide (wing-to-wing).
