Green ivy protectively encircles an angel turned to stone centuries ago, as she in turn stands guard over an enchanted garden.

If you’ve come to expect anything from Nora Corbett, it’s the unusual and unexpected, and her new “Deco Spirits” continues that tradition.

Once upon a time, in a field strewn with magical flower petals, a doting mother read a bedtime tale to her very littlest angel.

Poised before an arbor of greenery and robed in graceful swaths of coolest pewter satin, Mirabilia’s Millennium Angel is the beautiful way to herald in the coming 21st Century.

Behold! ‘Tis but a fair wood sprite perched upon a mossy branch in the misty gloaming of a midsummer’s eve!

This winsome southern belle learned the genteel art of hospitality in finishing school, and she’d be delighted to extend a warm welcome to guests in any finely decorated foyer.

Unlike many of us in the workaday world, these three lovely enchanted beings haven’t forgotten the importance of the quiet reflection and gentle conversation that comes with taking tea.

On a recent trip to Paris, Mirabilia’s designer Nora Corbett was inspired to create a cross-stitch sampler unlike any other.

Full of old-fashioned flowers in cool shades of pink and white. I especially love anything I can cut to enjoy inside.

I’m not a very patient person, says Nora, but gardening is teaching me to be. I’ve learned that something tiny and fragile holds the promise of becoming something bold and beautiful.

There is a princess, we are told, of indescribable wealth, who is fascinated by the mixing of garden scents.

The third in Mirabilia’s “Year of the Fairies Collection”. She stands surrounded by wild strawberries, gazing into an emerald Crystal Treasure that signifies love.

My new design is of a boy and girl sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him their hopes and dreams. Santa is on a throne and cloaked in festive red and gold.

Gold beads and satin ribbons cascade from her silken gown and she is enveloped in a mystical garden of pale blues and greens.

Third in the series of gardeners is “Winter in My Garden”. Every gardener I know doesn’t rest the minute the snow starts to fall.

She made her escape as lightly as a deer. The Prince followed, but could not catch her. Only she dropped one of her glass slippers, which he picked up and treasured.

Four carefree girls, hold hands and dance around a blooming rose tree.

Designed in pearly and citron hues, this enchanted deep sea nymph gracefully swims across the linen, entwined in lavender and mossy green blooming seaweed.

The Empress of Christmas presides over her festivities adorned in velvety scarlet flowing robes, trimmed in evergreen, rubies, and fur.

Fast asleep after prancing and dancing throughout the night, this beautiful fairy certainly leads a charmed life.

This fairy seamstress created her ensemble out of gathered bits and pieces from an English cottage garden.

Become lost in the splendors of blue and green with this prancing miniature fashion muse. With delicate iridescent wings and velvety feathered skirt.

This striking sea nymph comes alive with metallic threads, beads and treasures. It will surely be one of your favorite designs.

This is a classic and timeless heirloom design. A rosarian tends to her English garden. Her dusty blue satin gown is accented with clusters of precious antique beads.

She wears a berry dyed satin dress with crystal dew drops aound her neck. A gold locket on her belt holds dripping beads and petals.

White glowing stars reflect over a gown of satin ribbons and brocade. The dress is stitched in soft greys and dusty blues and covered in swirling starry beads.

Delicately perched on a curling ribbon of grass, she is caught in a serene moment of peaceful meditation.
