Helping us remember every detail...

Photographers. What would be do without them? I am constantly running into photographers while performing, and sometimes wonder how their pictures turn out. Capturing a birthday party is quite the task, especially because they are normally just a couple of hours! You only have a tiny window of time to grab the best moments, and then...they're gone.

I met Sonya Yruel , a photographer, at a recent celebration that I performed at in the Bay Area. She really stuck in my mind after the event because of how well she blended in. She was always popping up at the right moment to snap the picture, yet I never felt like she was 'in the way'. On top of that incredible act, she also was constantly smiling and had a very calm feeling about her. The children acted completely at ease around her, which allowed her to capture some beautiful shots.

I asked if I could peek at some of the photos when she was done, and (I am quite the lucky Faerie!) she said yes!

Here are some pictures from that beautiful day in October when I performed as our Pink Princess...

Who says Princesses are just for Girls? Especially when we can catch bubbles!

Ah, my favorite. Face Painting!

I love that this picture is mostly the grown-ups...and look at their faces!

Meet the photographer...

Faerie Acorn

This week our Faerie, Miss Acorn, has received praise from every single performance that she has attended! It makes me the happiest Faerie to peek in our inbox and see such lovely letters.

Here are some that Acorn received this week...

"We had a great time at our daughter's party with the lovely fairy around. Miss Acorn was wonderful.. All the kids as well as big kids enjoyed the magic show equally :) Thank you sooo much. We will definitely call you again for our next party!!"

“Miss Acorn was an absolute delight! I have always had a fondness for fairies, but this one captivated the children and adults alike!! she was a pure pleasure to have at this function. None of the children wanted to go home!!”

"Acorn was very patient with the kids and the adults. She did not rush when it was getting time for 1 1/2 to end and I appreciated that. "

Macy's Invites Us Again!

Hooray! Miss Lina and Miss Melody visited Macy's in Sacramento last weekend, and we've been invited back! Macy's in San Francisco, at Union Square, has invited Miss Juniper & Miss Bunny for the 5th of December. You can meet them from 2pm to 4pm! They will be providing complimentary Face Painting and Balloon Twisting.

Miss Belle. Quite the Faerie!

Meet our new Faerie...Miss Belle. Ok...here I go, ok *taking a deep breath*.

Belle just received several scholarships, awards, and even the position of Valedictorian (GPA 4.56! I repeat, 4.56!) in the last couple of years at her human school. My, my. Aside from flying high in her academic career, she finds time to be a tutor through Project H.O.P.E. in Elk Grove.

Belle began her path to receiving her faerie wings a long time ago with her fantastic resume of Cheerleading (want to meet a bubbly Faerie? Meet Belle.), being Class President for 2 years in a row, and singing/dancing/acting all throughout high school.

The first day that I met Belle I look straight at her and saw that she was incredibly driven. Her gentle nature is a fabulous mask to her inner entertainer. She can go from a quiet, calm lady into a jumping, giggling Faerie in 2 seconds flat.

Meet our Sacramento Faeries!

Hooray! Miss Melody and Miss Lina are very excited about their brand new costumes (I got a little carried away again!). Melody and Lina are part of our Sacramento Faerie family, and you can now meet them on our Performers Page.

Saturday night activity

I just received a few new face painting books today, and after performing at 3 celebrations, I rewarded myself with some fun practice time! Thankfully our Tree house headquarters has a few children nearby that were willing to be transformed on this chilly Saturday night.

Party all week long!

I was invited over to celebrate with a beautiful little girl and her friends yesterday! It was a long flight from Santa Cruz to her home (faerie wings are strong, but they tend to bend a bit in the wind), but a birthday party on a Wednesday? I can't turn that down! Too fun!

Her mommy wrote me a very nice note too...here is a pinch of it for you to read, if you like!

Thank-you for your lovely visit yesterday. Everyone had a nice time, with much thanks to you. Some parents complimented your ability to paint faces in threes! The banjo was lovely, and you have a great beat. You're a beautiful person and maybe we'll see you again one day. Enclosing a few photos. Thank-you again.

Sacramento, thanks for the warm welcome!

We just strengthened our wings enough to fly over and perform in the far away land of Sacramento this month, and we have been greeted by many happy faces! We have been invited by several families and stores in the last few days to visit their celebrations this month. Hooray!

Miss Lina & Miss Melody (part of our Sacramento Faerie Family) can be seen this Saturday at Macy's downtown Sacramento (414 K Street) as part of Macy's Customer Shopping Day. They will be there with their brand new Faerie dresses (I have *just* finished them...expect pictures next week!) and offering complementary face painting and balloon twisting from 2pm to 4pm.

Thank you Sacramento!
