The Mother Goose Collection celebrates motherhood and new babies, with designs of some of our favorite childhood fairytales. Mother Goose herself is a splendid example of elegance combined with whimsy. With his painted face, Humpty Dumpty is sure to be a “must have” for many children’s room, as is the most unique “dish that ran away with the spoon”. My version of the Cow Jumped over the Moon is perfect for near a babies crib. This whole collection was a lot of fun to design for you!

Introducing our new Spring collection for 2012 of magical Fairies, Elves and Surprises! There’s a lot more to Spring than just our Fairies and Elves this year.

Want an absolutely fabulous last minute Christmas gift idea? How about one of my Wine Bag Fairies? These smart little fella’s quickly and elegantly wrap up a bottle of wine that will be cherished for years to come. And what a treat YOU will get when you give it to your friends or family. They most likely will think it is a Santa of some sort…UNTIL they get it into their hands…when they then discover that there is a bottle of wine inside! The look of delight and surprise on their face will be like a gift back to you! Call your favorite retailer now to see if they have these, or call Rose at my office and she will find you a retailer close by that ordered these. You will need to get the wine yourself, but we trust that if you have such good taste to pick out one of these Mark Roberts Wine Bag Fairies, then surely will also pick out a great bottle of wine!

A festive ensemble of Santa, dressed in his finest, conducting the North Pole Orchestra (of Elves of course!) I thoroughly enjoyed doing the many details on this Santa. The layers of trimmings are exquisite and his flowing cape elegantly trails behind him in musical fashion. This Santa comes on a fine wooden base and includes a stand with sheet music. Great for on top of your piano, mantel or sideboard. You can get this Santa all by himself, or with the various Elves from the Orchestra, playing the Harp, Cello & Drum.

I did this design along with an exclusive Fairy design for the Frontgate catalog. You can see these 2 items by clicking here, or by contacting them directly at 800-626-6488

Much to my surprise (and chagrin), she came back with her sewing basket and told me that she was going to teach me how to sew the button myself!!! Oh!! This was to be one of many shocks my mother would give to me…cleverly disguised as a “gift” to me, something special that I would use & carry with me for the rest of my life.

Well…I did a pretty good job with that first button and mom was quite generous with her praise of my quick learning & newly found sewing skills. As you can see, the Tailor Elf is attired with an abundance of buttons. Thanks Mom!

If you haven’t gotten your Gingerbread Fairy…hurry!! He is one of the most popular of my designs this year and he is becoming more and more difficult to get. He has lots of gingerbread cookies all about him & he must have eaten quite a few of them also, as he is a plump little fella to say the least!
