Sugarwings and the Fairy Dance

Renfest_08_096 Well, my family is left, on their way back to Indiana and it seems pretty quiet and lonely around here, with them gone. We had such a fun visit,  I don’t even know where to start, junking day and my new vintage gown and pile of hats? Renfest and Sugarwings dancing with fairies? Grape picking at a local winery? Sculpy night and the fairies we created?

How about Sugarwings and her favorite part of the Renfest? She adored this dragon and talked about him all day.Renfest_08_027

All of us loved the festival.  Sissy really got into the spirit of it by dressing as a fairy.  I was inspired by her and had to put on a pair of wings myself.  All I had was a tiny pair that the fairy grand baby loaned to me, so I added a vintage rose and some rhinestones  to them to give them more oomph.

And I also followed Sissy’s lead and added a bird to my garland.Renfest_08_038_2

When our little one saw the birds, she had to have one on her head too.Renfest_08_068

Her daddy learned how to do magic tricks with an orb.Renfest_08_100 

And we got to meet lots of real live fairies.

One of my favorite things was the dance of the fairies.Renfest_08_123

Our little sprite couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t supposed to be a part of the act.Renfest_08_129

When volunteers were asked to come up from the audience and join in, of course, Sugarwings was the first one up there.Renfest_08_145

She did her special dance, that looks like a marionette flying through the air, we couldn’t tell if her feet ever touched the ground during the performance. And of course, all of our group agreed that she stole the show from the other fairies.Renfest_08_156      

Durning dance, Sugarwings met some kindred spirits.  The only thing cuter than a little toddler fairy is a whole pack of them. Or do fairies come in packs?  Flocks? That sounds better.

  1. I love it when you share “Sugarwings” adventures with us….She is adorable in that fairy costume and so are you and your Sissy….
    My youngest daughter is in California with a good friend and they went to a Ren Faire there, I can’t wait to see her pics…

  2. It’s so much fun to watch “Sugarwings” growing up. She’s always adorable and cute, but that last picture hints at a really stunning beauty in the making!

  3. Karla I totally love this post. Every picture is a winner. The one with barefoot Sugarwings climbing up the rock is perhaps my favorite. I think fairies come in groups called “flithers”. Ya know, a flither of fairies? I hope you have more pictures. You have a very handsome son by the way.

  4. This is a winner post. I loved every photo. Sugarwings, as I have said so many times is adorable. Her little Fairy dress was precious. Your fairy wings added pizzaz to your outfit for sure. I have no doubt that Sugarwings was the Star of the show. Yhanks for sharing this wonderful adventure.

  5. My favorite photo is the one of SugarWings climbing up the rock to the stage, there is something about the costume and the rock and her pretty little legs climbing up. You should paint that with her climbing up to her hero, the Dragon! And your boy IS handsome, as someone else mentioned (but then how could he not be?!!), had he been in costume he would have looked like a Rennaissance Man! Glad you had such fun! I worked 30 hours this weekend, that was fun, too…SIGH….ah well, I enjoy your life vicariously, thanks again for sharing!!! Your friend, Bobbi

  6. What gorgeous gorgeous photos!! It looks like you had a wonderful time and I am sure sugarwings will be fairy dancing for a long time to come!! That dragon is spectacular, I can’t believe she wasn’t scared but then he is a magical dragon is he not??
    Thanks for sharing…I love your fairy halo!

  7. Sugarwings really looks like a fairy all dressed up. I think my favorite photo was the one with her climbing the rock too. I could just feel her excitement bursting at the seams and her desire to join in. I enjoyed all of it as I am sure you did as well. Glad you all had a good time. I wish I had someone who would enjoy going to that. I haven’t been for a while.

  8. Oh sooooooooooo sweet!
    I loved seeing these photos of our Sugarwings in all of her fairy cuteness! Speaking of cute – you make a cute fairy Karla and your sweet son is a cutie too!
    What a lovely time this must have been and you captured the moments so beautifully.

  9. My favorite photo — possibly of all time — is the little blue fairy trying to climb over the rocks to be part of the act! She’s adorable (but you knew that!) What a treat for you all to experience!

  10. Karla, this looks like such a fun place! We have the Ren fair here but there are not nearly enough fairies around! Sugarwings looks so cute 🙂
