			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>So Christmas is over and done with and the next big celebration is Valentines Day. </p>
<div class="mceTemp">Giving a gift to one’s significant other for Valentine’s Day is something that is very close to the heart for everyone across the world. Furthermore, giving a Valentine’s Day gift to a significant other who is inclined towards the gothic aspect of life is not only something that is close to the heart but is also very difficult. Being gothic is not just an affectation; it is more a way of life for the people involved in it. This is exactly why the choice of gothic Valentine’s Day gift needs to be very well thought out.</div>
<div class="mceTemp">We might not sell traditional Valentines gifts, but we do have a fantastic selection of Gothic or Alternative Valentines Gifts. Here are a couple of ideas.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p style="margin: 24pt 0cm 0pt;">Whether young or old, most people find themselves at one point or another fascinated with fairies.  One particular point of fascination lies in fairy art, particularly that of artists such as Amy Brown, <a title="Jasmine Becket-Griffith Gothic Fairies" href="http://dark-fairy.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3_10_31" target="_blank">Jasmine Becket-Griffith</a> and <a title="Michele Lee Phelan Gothic Fairy Figurines" href="http://dark-fairy.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=3_10_36" target="_blank">Michele Lee Phelan </a>who specialize in images of dark and gothic fairies.  So how did we come from the legends of fairies and fae to collecting fairy figurines and dark fairy art prints?  The answer most likely lies in what those artistic fairies generally represent… the beauty and magic that too often seems to be missing from modern life.</p>
<p style="margin: 24pt 0cm 0pt;">The fairies of legend started out quite a bit different than those that we know today… many of the old legends depicted fairies as being tall and radiant or short and ugly.  Many old world fairies were considered to be malicious or at the very least mischievous; they were believed to steal from around the house and sometimes were even thought to kidnap small children and leave fairy creatures in their place.  Over the years, however, the view of fairies in folklore began to change.</p>
<p style="margin: 24pt 0cm 0pt;">By the Victorian age, fairies had begun to assume the forms that we know today.  With their beauty and the magic hinted at by their wings, good fairies began appearing more often in children’s stories and works of fantasy.  Fairies became somewhat common in artwork, with their images appearing in paintings and even photographs.  So-called dark fairies and gothic fairies began to appear as well, with their dark glamour fueling a new resurgence of fairy art for both fairy and gothic collectors to enjoy.</p>
<p style="margin: 24pt 0cm 0pt;">To view some of our collectable fairy figurines visit <a href="http://www.dark-fairy.co.uk">www.dark-fairy.co.uk</a> Here are some examples below:</p>
