Hello Myrea,
This is so weird. I lost my background page on my desktop which was of Dolphins, I accidentally deleted it. And thought I’d change it to Fairy pictures. Then I stumbled onto the Ora Moon picture’s which is so weird cause my name is Ora and my middle name is Marama which is translated into English is the Moon how weird is that, I couldn’t believe it when I found the site freaky. Well I just wanted to share that with you keep up the good work take care now and thanks.
Regards
Ora Nepe (e.mail address withheld)

From Bettina Robertson, Switzerland July 2009

Dear Mrs. Pettit
Thank you so much for creating this lovely little fairy book “500 fairy motifs”. You made my daughters so happy! My older girl Mira (5) loves drawing. She starts at 7am and just wouldn’t stop. As they both love fairies I thought its a good idea to give them some inspiration. I have always loved fairies myself and was thrilled when I got the books of Cecily Mary Barker some years ago from England, as in Switzerland where we live there is not so much on the market. Last week I found your book on the internet because I was interested in the different artists. I must say I loved your drawings, as I look for innocent little children fairies……….etc
