Fairy parties aren't just for kids! When my Sissy turned 60, she threw herself a fairy themed slumber party. Now, my sister, Bobbie Sue is turning 60 this week and Sissy is having us all to her home for another sleepover, BYOFW (bring your own fairy wings)
While I am in Indiana for Bobbie's celebration, I thought I'd leave you with some pictures from the earlier event.
(yes, I am wearing Tinker Bell jammies, with a sparkly tuxedo jacket)
I had some stick on crystals on my nose, but after seeing this, that might have been a mistake, they look more like growths…
My husband's brother came to the sleep over, he's pretty close to Sissy. Having a gay brother is almost like having a 3rd sister. Plus, he lets me draw on his face.
And he knows how to dress up for the occasion, too!
I convinced Bobbie Sue to let me teach her how to belly dance. Of course, I had no idea how to myself, and I dance about as graceful as a hippo. But there is something to be said for not caring how the dance looks and just going for it anyway!
Did I ever mention that I used to raise peafowl? I have a lot of peacock feathers from Percy (our papa bird) and have been making fans from them with vintage millinery and ribbon added. I thought one of the feathers would be just right to make a magic wand for Bobbie's Birthday.
It has hot pink, curly feathers from an old hat, some silk ribbon, and a millinery bloom topped off with a jewel pried from a broken vintage brooch.
Now, for a dash of fairy dust to get the magic kicked in gear, and its ready to wrap up and give to her at the party. I can't wait!! (maybe there will be more dancing..)
You are all beautiful fairies! Your hair colour looks great! Rachaelxo
Oh it sounds like you’re going to have SOOOOO much fun! You have the most intriguing sounding family! I missed last summer’s post on Sugarwings & the Fairy Dance, and just read it tonight – she is such a little beauty! May you all have fun all week long celebrating Bobbie Sue’s birthday!
Your family looks like they know how to have fun. What a blessing to have such a wonderful family. Martha

Anyway as long as I am here I will say hello and let you know you have me rolling with laughter. You said you dance as graceful as hippo and I about peed my pants. that’s how I feel about me – but in my younger days I was the dancing queen so I don’t know what ever happened. ha Ha Ha!!! Gee and I’m only 43 and that’s not that old. Anyway just had to say hi!
