Resting Station - Gertie
STORY: Gertie is taking a well-earned rest. She’s been practising loop-the-loops all week in preparation for her trial with the ‘Scarlet Spears’—an elite aerial display team known for their daring mid-air twirls and impeccably coordinated flightsuits. She’s dizzy and breathless, but will she make the cut? Will she earn the coveted scarlet flight suit? Only time will tell.
SPECIFICATION: Gertie rests on a swing-style seat made from a repurposed ruler. From a school Physics department is my guess. This lightweight sculpture can be easily suspended from any surface in your home. Just two small hooks to install, no rawl plugs required even in plaster walls. The ‘drop’ of the piece is adjustable to suit your space. A typed label moves gently with the sculpture when in place, adding an extra touch of charm.
On the rear of the swing seat, you'll find the date and signature and each sculpture comes with a certificate of authenticity.
DIMENSIONS: 24cm (h) 21cm x 20cm
Total drop (with rope) is 54cm

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING INFORMATION
We do our best to ensure fairy transit is smooth, direct, and as affordable as possible—but please note that each country has its own import rules and regulations.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
Most overseas orders are shipped DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). We use the ‘Sculpture’ shipping code, which generally allows the fairies to travel duty-free. However, depending on your country, you may still be charged VAT, customs duties, or a handling fee. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please only proceed if you're happy to accept this risk.
Before any fairies take flight, we must feel confident in their destination. We require a local telephone number and email address (now mandatory for customs clearance), and we will only post once we’ve been in contact with you. It helps ensure smooth delivery—and reassures the fairies that someone will be there to greet them.
EU BUYERS:
We’re delighted to say the fairies are now fully EU compliant, and European flights have officially resumed!
All UK-to-EU shipments are now subject to VAT and customs fees. Where possible, these are included at checkout (typically: 20% VAT + shipping + a small carrier admin fee).
For example, on a sculpture priced at £1,000, approximately £220 would be added at checkout to cover these charges.
Where we can, we ship DDP (Delivery Duty Paid), as it tends to be more cost-effective (and less stressful) than surprise customs charges on arrival. It’s a little fiddly to arrange—but smoother for you, and better for the fairies.
