The second figurine of my "Wish Fairies" series is: Selene, the Fairy Of Dreams (named after the Greek Moon Goddess).

This little fairy symbolizes the power of dreams and our journeys into fantasy worlds while we sleep. Selene stands on an engraved golden base and next to her are gardenias in full bloom filling the night air with their sweet and rich scent. Her symbol is the crescent moon, which she wears as a crown. Her dark shimmering hair are adorned with soft-pink rosebuds, that bear the cool dew of the night.
