A note to Miss Jewels

Hi Fae,

Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved Jewels! She was great with the kids. balloons were a hit, face painting was amazing, and most of all the magic show she put on kept the attention of all the kids - aged 2-5!

Even the adults got quite into it, and many of them told me how great they thought she was. I will definitely recommend her (and Happily Ever Laughter) to others!

Thank you

Ring the Bells! Sound the Horns!

Each month we receive dozens of requests to perform in cities that are in a far away land for us Bay Area faeries. Finally, after months of preparing, we are officially beginning performances in the Sacramento area! Our Sacramento family of Faeries are looking forward to flying into celebrations all over the valley and foothills of California. Check back soon for new photos of our fabulous new Faeries!

The fairest of them all...

Fae Diddle Diddle spends most of her days answering the phones and emails, as well as creating all of our costumes and Faerie trainings. On top of all of that, she is the sole creator of our web page! Each day Fae spends a little time changing things, from taking new photos to re-vamping entire sections. Our Characters Page just received a major face lift, as well as our Princess Page!

Happily Ever Laughter is very proud to offer a different view of a Princess. These days, our children are encouraged to believe that a princess comes from Disneyland (which is very magical, indeed), but it draws away from the classic Princess idea. Our Princesses are fancy, inspiring, and...unique!

Fae's favorite thing to ask a child when having their face painted like a princess is, "What color would you like your Princess dress to be? Shall we have her look just like you? Or maybe even Pink hair? Anything you chose will look as Princessy as can be!".

Halloween...

We are getting ready for Halloween over here...and so was one of my favorite people...um...I mean, puppies! This fabulous 5 year old is lucky enough to know a Faerie in real life (she lives near our Tree House), so she asked for some of our skills to get her ready for Halloween this year. This was her test run with her face painting design (she liked it, except for when she dribbled water down her chin and the tongue started to wash away) *laugh*.

We are almost completely booked for Halloween this year (thank you!) and our faeries will be helping hundreds of children compete their costumes this year with our face painting! Hooray!

Faerie Jewels's Favorite

Miss Faerie Jewels painted hundreds of faces this past weekend (and twisted so many balloons her hands started to tingle!), and took a quick picture of one of her favorites. Great job, Jewels!

Pirate Nixie does it again!

Here is another fabulous note after Miss Nixie's appearance at a celebration this past weekend....

"Just a note to say a very big thank you to your beautiful Gentle Pirate Nixie. She had the kids mesmerized at our party and everyone loved her very much! Her show was just wonderful especially her cute puppets.

And thanks again for the brilliant faerie organization with your talented faerie team - you are truly recommended!

Oh & here is a pic from the party too - when Pirate Nixie had to leave my son Ashwin gave her a big hug to say thank you!"

Your Stage Toys invited us to perform again!

Next weekend (October 17th), Miss Maple will be performing at Your Stage Toys in Pleasanton, Ca. We have been incredibly lucky and this will be our third time performing in their adorable little toy store. They often feature children's entertainers, musical groups, and puppetry on their real stage in the rear of the store. Miss Maple will be sailing over as our Pirate Character to perform her Magic Show, paint faces with our Sparkling Face Paints, and twist her Colorful Balloons for everyone!

Things we love...

Lots of parents ask me for help with their decorations and planning of their child's celebration. There so many ways to be creative about the big day. Here are some beautiful lights that would brighten up any party (especially for a Faerie theme!). Want to be even more creative? Buy your own lights (any color!) and make them yourself (buy flower tape and some fabric...cut out some leaf shapes and you are good to go!).

I once spend days making 10,000 of these (yes, you read right, 10,000 lights) for a gathering in my own home. I wanted them to spread out from a huge tree in our backyard over my guests. It looked beautiful.

Funniest Praise Yet

Faerie Nixie is always receiving the nicest letters from grown-ups after her celebrations...but this particular note had us laughing super hard!

"I just wanted to send a quick email to say thanks ever so much to Nixie for helping us have a great party. The kids loved her...even the older ones who thought it might be geared too much towards the little guys. One little fellow was so entranced that he literally pee's himself because he didn't want to tear himself away from the puppet show...c'est la vie. We are also excited as our friends have hired you to provide for their daughter birthday next weekend! My older daughter can't wait to meet a real mermaid. : )"
