"Alpenglow" the Woodland Fae Alicorn
"Alpenglow" is a Magical Forest Friend talisman and animal companion. The "Official Magical Forest Friend Name Card, Issued from the Realm of Faerie" that comes along with him says this about his magicks and his personality:
"'Alpenglow' the Woodland Fae Alicorn is regal and wise, fair and just. He helps his person find justice in their own world, and if it is not to be found, to create it. Alpenglow is a "Woodland Fae" Alicorn in that he has the magical antlers and fur hooves of a creature that runs with the faeries. He promotes flexibility, wisdom, and spiritual growth, aiding in sensible decision making. Needless to say, Alpenglow would make a fine companion for a leader. He reminds his person to take care of themselves as well as they take care of others."
Alpenglow's body is made of soft, natural, ivory-colored wool. His forehead is made of royal blue wool. His hooves and ears are made of whimsical, wispy, white faux fur. His antlers are tan and outlined in metallic gold thread. He has an elegant, winding gold satin horn.
His mane and tail are made of royal blue yarn and metallic gold eyelash yarn. His eyes are plastic safety eyes.
Alpenglow is unique because he comes with a special garment, a brocade and satin cape made excusively for him. It is reversable, with one side made of royal blue brocade fabric with an Asian-inspired print, and the other side made of gold satin. It ties on with a thin white ribbon, edged with sparkling, irridescent thread.
He is stuffed with magical herbs and flax seeds and bits of fluffy, raw sheep's wool. He has the calming scent of Lavender Flowers, his most aromatic herbal ingredient. You will find the complete list of his herbs and their magical properties a bit further down in this listing. He is one-of-a-kind and looking for his person.
WEIGHTED with natural delights.....Alpenglow is stuffed with flax seeds and his favorite organic herbs (listed below). The spaces between that need extra padding are stuffed with fluffy, local raw sheep's wool. He weighs in at a hefty 1 pound, 2 ounces and measures about 9 inches from nose to rear and 8 inches from his hooves to the tips of his ears (sitting). With a heavy belly full of flax seeds and herbs, Alpenglow is a pleasure to hold, snuggle, and smell. He does not stand up on his own, due to the weight of the seeds ~ he's a very relaxed creature! The weight of him makes him an excellent companion for anyone who needs a calming, lifelike-feeling friend. He is unique, earthy, and delightful to the senses.

CAUTIONARY NOTES:
1) This critter is not meant for very young children (under the age of 5)! They tend to chew and suck on things, and this item is filled with herbs and small seeds that pose a choking hazard.
2) Please keep away from pets! They find our herb-filled creations enticing, and some of the herbs used can be unhealthy for pets to ingest.
3) This critter must stay dry! If he gets too wet, the flax seeds inside will gel together and then harden as they dry, effectively turning him to stone (or close enough)! So please only spot clean if necessary ~ there are instructions in the brochure included with purchase.
