"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" — The Mad Hatter

Okay, here's the thing; I'm normally great at naming my fairies. They ALWAYS tell me their names. This little lady though, is being difficult. She won't make a peep and is I think is mischeviously enjoying keeping me guessing... SO, I thought, maybe she would tell one of you! Now listen carefully: to enter your suggestion for her name, you must go to the guestbook on the official Faeryspell Creations site here and add your entry: www.faeryspellcreations.com/guestbook-an... The person who's name is chosen wins a free Peeking Pixie! www.etsy.com/shop/faeryspellcreations?se... Thank you, and look forward to seeing the names you come up with!
The origin ofthe name Melissa comes from the ancient Hittite word Melita which means honey. The meaning of the word has shifted into honey bee in Greek.
Moreover, the pronunciation has changed to Melissa (Ionic Greek: M???ssa).
In Greek mythology, perhaps reflecting Minoan culture, Melissa raised the infant Zeus in Crete, nursing him with goat's-milk (see Amalthea) and honey. In later myth she was given a father, Melissus of Crete.
Melissa also refers to the plant known as lemon balm (family Lamiaceae; genus and species Melissa officinalis).
Melissa is entirely handsculpted and hand painted. Her gown is created from vintage and designer fabrics, lace, ribbon and silk flowers. Her body is a wrapped wire armature, so she is gently poseable.
