New Sets - Upcoming on E-Bay

E-Bay has been busy as ever and now that we are into the fall 2009 season, Pendragonfyre will be posting auctions each Sunday evening.

Clients are asking what is coming up for future auction items, so I have decided to use my blog more effectively to preview future e-bay set offerings.

Here is the first sneak peek!

Pocahontas - the American Princess
Tiara Series #14
Materials: CiM & Double Helix Glasses

THIS SET IS NOW SOLD

"Princess Matoaka, also called Amonute was born in 1595. She was a daughter of Wahunsunacock, also known as Chief Powhatan, who ruled an area encompassing almost all of the neighboring tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia.

'Pocahontas' was a childhood nickname referring to her frolicsome nature; in the Powhatan language it meant "little wanton". In her last days she went by the name Rebecca Rolfe.

Many believe that she saved the life of Captain John Smith from being killed by her father. Later she warned the English colonists at Jamestown of a planned Indian ambush. She also helped in the dealings between the colonists and her father, Chief Powhatan.

The life of Pocahontas has formed the basis of many legends. Her story became the source of much romantic myth making in the centuries following her death and is very important in American history. On the other hand, Americans of European descent regard Pocahontas as a savior of their own race and a fore-mother of the United States."

This set is inspired by this American female icon.
CiM's new brown transparent, Maple, provides the canvas for a new issue of the popular Tiara series. Paired with Double Helix Aurae, this set is perfect for fall 2009.
