This beautiful tapestry panel is titled "The Lilac Fairy". It shows one of Cicely Mary Barker's illustrations for her Flower Fairy books.
"The most cherished artist in the category of illustrating fairies with lepidopteran wings is British artist, Cicely Mary Barker. Her illustrations are as popular today as she was in 1923 when she first published her "Flower Fairy" books. Though she died in 1973, her fairies live on in the hearts and imaginations of children and adults around the world."
This densily woven, high quality panel could be used to hang on the wall or made into a pillow. It would be a beautiful wall art for a children's room.
The Lilac Fairy
White May is flowering,
Red May beside;
Laburnum is showering
Gold far and wide;
But I sing of Lilac,
The dearly-loved Lilac,
Lilac, in Maytime
A joy and a pride!
I love her so much
That I never can tell
If she's sweeter to look at,
Or sweeter to smell.
