Faye's fans sell for $40 each or $75 a pair + shipping. He emailed me back and said that the "fire" fan was in fact his fan and that he would sell me a pair for $33.00 shipping included - well below her price. i couldn't believe my luck. 2 fans for less the price of 1 of Faye's and the same fan to boot - same in the sense of color, style, etc. it pays to shop around! also he'll make fans in any color you want for that price, even if you don't see the colors you want on his site. i've already got the fans and they're beautiful! quality light silk.

I've talked to Faye about that before - she said that is not the same supplier that she uses, so they aren't actually the same fans. I own some from each now and I can vouch that they are actually different in the staves and the weight of silk. (Not necessarily better or worse, just different - so it would depend on what you wanted :) )
