Greetings Friends in Faery,

The Faeries at Kirks Folly are counting down the days to our biggest Anniversary Show ever. We are celebrating 30 years of Kirks Folly business and 17 years of QVC shows. We have spent the entire year designing amazing collections that would represent 30 years of magic making - this has been quite a challenge! We started in 1979 at Bloomingdales with a collection of chop sticks for the hair and we will be celebrating this Anniversary on QVC with Water Globes, Goblets, Jewelry, Hair Accessories, Home Decor, Watches, Wind Chimes, Jewelry Boxes and DreamKeeper Fashions. As they say, "we've come a long way baby" and what a fascinating ride it has been. We have been blessed to work in the world of Sparkle and Faery and share all that with our wonderful friends around the world.

When asked by the QVC buying team to pick my favorites for this show I told them it was impossible - too many wonderful things. But I will highlight the "Dawn of the Fairies Ring", for those faery girls who have been waiting for the important, over the top fairy ring, deserving of a 30th Anniversary title. And the Interchangeable necklaces with the most glorious stones you will ever see. And who could pass up the jewelry box or the globes - I could just go on and on...

People always ask the one thing that I have learned over these many years in business and I say - "just get in the game" - if there is anything that you desire or wish for, you must put yourself out there and try - you cannot get hurt by trying. Once you put yourself into the game, anything can happen. Success or happiness cannot find you if you are hiding.

It is fun to look back over the 30 years of pictures, events, parties, cruises and gorgeous gentleman - enjoy reminiscing (by clicking on the links below).

I leave you with this:

"I like to think of myself as an artist, and my life is my greatest work of art. Every moment is a moment of creation, and each moment of creation contains infinite possibilities. I can do things the way I've always done them, or I can look at all the different alternatives, and try something new and different and potentially more rewarding. Every moment presents a new opportunity and a new decision. What a wonderful game we are playing, and what a magnificent art form..." - Shatki Gawain

Magic Always
