It's been a while! *giggle* We were having so much fun over on Facebook, but then someone introduced us to the joys of Instagram (if you give a Faerie a filter...well, you can guess!). Shortly thereafter, we fell down the Pinterest rabbithole (more on that in posts to come!), and well, Faeries don't like to do things halfway...so we're throwing glitter around the whole internet, and putting our wings to social media. Yay!
That means that there's lots of pictures and links and sparkly bits to view about the Faerie world, but we also wanted to give you a direct line into our real lives and the very glittery, sometimes odd, and often hilarious world of being a Professional Faerie. (Seriously. It says Faerie on my W2. Whaaaaat!!!)
So! That's what I'll be doing here *smile*. Oh - I should probably introduce myself, shouldn't I? I'm Violet, and I am a full-time Faerie. I perform on the weekends, and during the week I work in the Treehouse (that's what we call our office *wink*), answering phones, writing emails, dealing with inventory, training new Performers, dealing with inventory again, making invoices, asking the people loitering in our parking lot very nicely to please move their drum circle elsewhere1, having incredibly serious discussions re: the pros and cons of different types of glitter, writing another email, and squishing the inventory into a closet for Future Violet to deal with later. Ooh! And now writing blog posts - yay!
Would you like to see where I'm writing to you from?? Of course you would! Here you go:

Alrighty! Thank you for reading this far - this is the end of my first post, but there will be many more to come. Here's what you'll be able to expect...
- Pictures!
- Glitter!
- Things to make or do, sometimes!
- Many mentions of unicorns!
- Things that make me laugh...which will hopefully make you laugh!
- Words! Hopefully strung together in grammatically and syntactically correct sentences!
- Lists!
Now, doesn't that sound exciting? Actually, I am really excited. I love, love, love my job here, and I cannot wait to be able to share more treats and tid-bits with you about what goes on behind-the-scenes at Happily Ever Laughter.
If you have any burning questions, put some water on them! Quick! They're on fire! *phew* That was close. But seriously, if you have any queries or quandaries that you'd like answered here, please comment down below - I am here to inform and entertain you *smile*.
Puppy Dogs and Faerie Blogs,
Violet
1 I am not being entirely honest here. Today it was a lone, mournful, out-of-tune (VERY LOUD) guitar. Ah, the joys of having an office Downtown!↩
I am so excited to follow your posts! I admit.....I have been stalking your facebook page for awhile. your costumes are amazing!! I hope we get to see some behind the scenes action in the costume department :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! *smile* If you'd like to peek at some of our current costume inspiration right away, our Pinterest page has lots of pretties ;)
DeleteI will definitely be sharing bits and bobs about costumes...if there's one thing a Faerie likes to do, it's dress up! We're never at a loss for an excuse *laugh*.
Have a fabulous day!
