Brian and Wendy Froud, of Henson Muppets and Dark Crystal fame, have started this amazing Faerie Festival and, lucky, lucky me, it is quite close to where I live! So, a whole gaggle of my Etsy street team friends - and anyone else we can rope into donning some glitter and wings - will be descending on Faerieworlds this August! I am so excited!!! Three days of fae fun with wings, crowns, pointy ears and swirly skirts!
I am thinking that I will need at least two different costumes - a good fae and a bad fae. One a more typical woodsy kind of faery with flowers, leaves, crystals and such and one a more goth faery with black corset, boots, stripey tights, etc. Hmmmm....so many fun possibilities! I have already started surfing Etsy for ideas.
Check out the amazing wings in this shop! I cannot stop drooling!
And I am pretty sure I need this dress from this fun Etsy shop.
I am madly in love with this incredible Faery doll from this shop.

And can I just say, "How freaking cute is this?!!"
I've got faeries on the brain!!!
I am also wildly excited that I get to meet the wonderfully awesome Michelle of Greenfingers tomorrow! I am so lucky to have team members here in Oregon! Michelle makes the most beautiful knitted and embroidered goddesses that she stuffs with herbs so they smell as lovely as they look. I was lucky enough to get one for Yule this year and it looks wonderful on my altar. Check out the mermaid one she has in her shop now:

And it's Friday! I am feeling a little giddy with all the fun things to look forward to! I am grateful to be attracting friends and playtime into my life. I have been isolating for a long time and taking myself much too seriously. I need a little glitter and girl time.
