⭐ Fairy Cake & Inspiration...

{Saturday}

Good Morning Kittens!

What a fresh & lovely morning. I was awoken to the sound of my mocking bird singing outside my window.

It was really wonderful.

Today is a work day for me.

After a weeklong altering of my costume to make it more functional, I am looking forward to entertaining the masses.

Did you know that each one of my characters was inspired by a specific fairytale character, or that they have their own music playlist, or that every detail of the vintage couture elements are crafted by me, including the props?

{as for other elements that I am not so great at...I have amazing craftspersons}

Every character is always changing, as nature & the seasons also do....and everyone has their own make-up and wardrobe.

So much magic goes into them even before they meet everyone.

I am inspired by them.

So....this fairytale post....

I hope that you enjoy it!
