Mother and daughter team Jo and Cassie live in South-East Queensland, Australia and have teamed creating Twisted Whimsey shop
featuring their one of a kind creations inspired in nature, fairy lore and their heart and spirit. The items are very original and range from hats to fairy wings and masks... oh and even customized fantasy shoes! All items are rather different and obviously comes from different moments of inspiration, I guess these two enjoy wearing what they create and there's something of exultant happiness in all their pieces.

It's a bit strange maybe to say that the Disney Villain from Disney Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent, dressed so much cooler and in fashion and in fact I think it became a referent for many gothic later to be trends and was indeed very cool looking. Maleficent was elegant and way sophisticated with her purple eye shade and green pale skin... And the garment was quite full and impressive.
Los Tesoros de La Ayalga (the treasures of the Ayalga) is a brand new cute store featuring the loveliest headpieces. The two crafters behind are sisters and come from the enchanted wild and evergreen land of Asturias where "Ayalga" means "ancient hidden treasure, or place where it's buried and is also used there to refer to the Nymphs).
