Fairy pink aaaall over!

Last weekend I visited my best friend M. and her lovely family, whom I hadn't seen for months, as they live far away. Before my visit, I puzzled myself over the presents I would get for her little girls. As they have already plenty of toys and clothes, I wanted to find something that would catch their interst, as well as find something they would enjoy and play with


 As a little girl myself, I used to enjoy dressing up. It was one of my most favourite things. I used to pretend I was someone else (more likely a film character), and I would play in this imaginary world for hours and hours.
So, that was it! I would make a kind of a costume for the girls, even for baby E! I ended up making 2 felt crowns (the tiny one was a hit!) and a perfect magic wand with little bells hanging from colourful ribbons for the eldest one!

Isn't baby crown cute?
My ultiment joy was I's reaction: just what I had hoped for! She put her crown on, grabbed her wand and started dancing around the house while singing- of course, after that, we were all turned into frogs, sheep, cows, pigs and into any other animal you can think of. On the other hand, baby E, was rather curious about it, and tried to take it off her head and into her mouth! But I can't describe how sweet she looked in it!

As Carnival time in Greece approaches, I might make myself one, too!!!! Keep your eyes open for a photo of me as a fairy!!!!!!!!!!!
