Sugarwings and Pixie Pie spent the evening with us Monday night and like all evenings do when they get together, it ended in playing dress up. I'm always looking for fun princess, fairy, or other costume accessories and dresses for them at garage sales and thrifts.
This time, the dogs got involved too. I think that Agnes Rosebud was born to wear a boa, don't you? This is the one I am packing to take to Moulin Rouge, but I think she looks much cuter in it than I will.
Twinks got into it too. She could use a smaller size fairy crown, though, this one falls around her neck.
By the way, does anyone know what the term for these things is????? I've been wracking my brain for it, and I KNOW that there just has to be a name for them.
I love to see what costumes the girls pull together. You never know what will be coming down the stairs to curtsy and show off. It could be a bumble bee, a witch, a fairy, or a conglomeration of all of them at once.
Sugarwings often falls back on the Dorothy look. Although she puts her own spin on it, and is wearing two different shoes, not ruby slippers.
But her first outfit was the best. She hadn't been part of the parade down the stairs yet, and I went up to see if she needed zipped or buttoned, or helped out in any way. But there she stood, completely naked wearing her two mismatched heels, a crown, and pretending to drink a cup of tea.
I asked why she wasn't dressed up, and she said she wanted to be "real". She's real funny alright.
I think they are called circlets…?…
Gotta love the innocents of it..smile..Keep it real dear sugarwings.To cute..My furbabies would have had those feathers apart and strung all over the house in two seconds.Warm Blessings!~Amy
I needed a laugh-out-loud moment – thank you, Sugarwings!
Rosie can wear pink better than any other dog I know.

Talk about an awesom Grandma’s house! How fun to know there will always be dress-up and shows and parties.
Those accessories bring back happy memories of picking out just the right head wreath for the annual renaissance festival. Dried flower options were most plentiful, but I ended up preferring a thing braided cord that could keep up with all the running around without little bits falling off. What kind is your favorite?
The boa is TOO COOL!
They are so very precious !!!
Have fun while you are away !!!

Karla, when they sell them at the craft shows here in VA they call them fairy crowns. Hope you are having a great week!
She wanted to be “real”! That sounds like something my daughter would come up with at that age. It’s very intuitive thinking for a four year old. I think she’s very
bright in an old soul kind of way.
I love that and there looks! Brings back fun n’ funny memories. I struggled every Halloween with my daughter, at the tender age of 3. She would pick out a costume; Halloween would come…”No, I don’t want to be this or that”. One year I grabbed a gown at Thrift Shop cut it off, used excess material on a plastic jewelry sleeve and made her a hat. She said,”what am I?”
I said, “A lady in waiting”! We go next door and there is an older lady, she knows my Mom, we go in. She really wants us to visit for a bit. She asks my daughter, “What are you dressed as?”
My daughter announce, “A lady in waiting”. Older lady says,
“What are you waiting for?” My daughter says, “Candy of course”. (She let us in to visit, but no candy had yet been offered) WE died laughing…the innocence of children and being real! Sugarwings is a rig!
Too funny and sweet, thanks for sharing,
I think that is great advice for all of us
“lets just be real”
Love that quote
And they know exactly how beautiful they look. Kids AND dogs! 🙂
