Peaseblossom Unicorn – $54
Limit of 1 per household
As twilight fell on Midsummer’s Day, some of the animals noticed a rustling in the undergrowth, as soft as a firefly's twinkle. They all peered into the forest, wondering. Then they saw: it was a unicorn! She stepped out from a grove of hazel and elderberry, just as lovely as you please and surrounded by soft mist. She said, "Greetings, animals! I am Peaseblossom. I am most delighted to make your acquaintance.”
Peaseblossom’s mane and tail are made from ivory wool yarn with subtle sparkles of metallic silver. Her metallic silver linen horn is artfully twisted and hand-sewn to create the perfect magical shape.

It fastens with velcro at the back collar, and will fit any Hazel Village friend who might like to feel as magical as Peaseblossom. Handmade by our artisan partners in Colombia.
Stormy Skies Crown for Dolls – $18
Limit of 1 per household
The other animals asked Peaseblossom why she chose such a dark and mysterious crown for the Rainbow Festival. She taught them the wise words she had learned at Princess School: Not ‘til stormy skies clear will a rainbow appear! “It seems only fair,” said Peaseblossom with grace, “that the storm should be part of my festival garb.” This special crown is made from gray wool felt which was cut into a cloud-like shape, hand-stitched with care, and adorned with swirls of silvery glass beads. Handmade by our very skilled artisan partners in Nepal. Velcro closure.
Rainbow Cloud Capelet for Dolls – $24

This fluffy cloud capelet is an essential part of the animals’ Rainbow Festival dance. For the grand finale, Peaseblossom Unicorn will whirl it above her head and turn it around to reveal the stunning rainbow hidden inside. We’ve been told that the effect should be quite breathtaking! Made with voluminous rows of ruffled white tulle sewn over a cotton base. Satin lining is printed with our original watercolor rainbow artwork. Handmade by our artisan partners in Colombia.
Rose Costume for Dolls – $28

A brief ode to red roses, by Owen Fox: “Red roses, red roses, how well my nose knows-es…you!” (He is still working on the composition.) This lovely costume features five large taffeta petals at the waist, with a flouncy tulle underskirt. Five smaller petals encircle the collar. A red linen pixie bonnet fastens with velcro under the chin, and matches the costume’s sleeveless linen romper. Handmade by our artisan partners in Cambodia.

Dandelion Costume for Dolls – $28

Did you know that dandelions are quite extraordinary? Emma Rabbit told us so, and we agree with her.

Handmade by our artisan partners in Cambodia. Will fit any Hazel Village doll or animal.
Moss Costume for Dolls – $28

If you walk through the quiet woods just after a rainfall, you will notice that the lush green moss seems to almost sparkle. This costume was inspired by that very thing. It is a sleeveless linen romper embellished with a soft patch of emerald yarn pompoms. A single iridescent sequin is nestled within each pompom, subtly catching the light just like a raindrop. The matching green linen pixie bonnet fastens with velcro under the chin. Handmade by our artisan partners in Cambodia. Will fit any Hazel Village doll or animal.
Bluebell Costume for Dolls – $28
Limit of 1 per household
A vast field of bluebells is quite a magical sight to behold, but the animals think you should know that it is just as exciting to look at one flower up close. Evoking the shape of a bluebell blossom, this dreamy costume has a bell-shaped overdress of diaphanous organza. The base romper is light blue linen, sleeveless, with a cute gathered shape and elastic cuffs. A matching linen pixie bonnet fastens with velcro under the chin. Handmade by our artisan partners in Cambodia. Will fit any Hazel Village doll or animal.

The purple linen romper is sleeveless, with a cute gathered shape and elastic cuffs. A matching linen pixie bonnet fastens with velcro under the chin. Handmade by our artisan partners in Cambodia.

Jane's original artwork for Peaseblossom's postcard
A walk down memory lane...
Peaseblossom Unicorn first visited Hazel Village back in June 2019. She arrived on the night of the Firefly Ball, appearing from the trees at the meadow's edge surrounded by softly glowing fireflies. Jane painted the scene below to depict the magical moment when the other animals saw Peaseblossom appear. Gwendolyn Raccoon was so surprised that she dropped her cherry pie! 
Here is what Peaseblossom looked like in 2019:
Here is a picture of her original collection:
And her Princess School diploma:
And here is another painting Jane made back in 2019, of the animals holding a Grand Banquet to celebrate Peaseblossom's arrival!
