Letter from the Editor
Fairy Greetings!
Fairies love this time of year, when
according to many legends, the veil between
the worlds of the seen and the unseen thins
for about 3 days. If you can spend any
time that weekend (October 30-November 2)
outside in natural surroundings, you may have
some very magical experiences. . .
Seeing children and adults dressing up in
costumes, visiting their neighbors, sharing
sweets and having fun is comforting to the
Fairy Realm as these guardian nature spirits
constantly celebrate life in a light-hearted
and whimsical way and want to see us just as
happy.
This is also the ideal season to feature our
mysterious Fairy of Shadows, Ravanna (aka The
Goth Fairy) who is unveiling some special
products this month (see below.) As mediator
between the light and dark aspects of our
subconscious minds. Ravanna dares you to walk
a bit on the wild side, to take a step into
the unknown and take risks.
Have you taken our Inner Fairy quiz yet? You
may be surprised to find that this
mischevious muse is your special fairy!
This photo is from All That Glitters, a
yearly fundraising event for Tampa's
MacDonald Training Center. Fairies (from

to sprinkle fairy dust and share Fairy
Fortunes. (Fairy Kim is wearing a new
Ravanna Fairy Bodice costume!)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hallo-Fairy! |
|
Here's an eye-catching ensemble for goth
girls or Ravanna's pixie helpers!
Our hand-made tutu in lovely layers of black
and peach embellished with orange gems, black
and orange rosebuds.
This versatile and size-adjustable tutu is
tied with a black ribbon and can be worn over
leggings or skirt. Featuring bat wings with
silver accents and ruby red eyes and a spider
web wand with silver strands. Topped off by
a black and silver flower and ribbon halo.
These are going quickly and we have a
limited amount of these specially-designed
sets at a great price! We also have lots
of choices for any number of fairy-inspired
costumes and are re-stocking every week until
Halloween - stop by the store @ International
Plaza (near Mayor's Jewelers) to mix and
match tutus, wings, bodices, wands and fairy
accessories.

Fairy Bodices |
|
We just debuted our Fairy Couture
last Halloween with our hand-made tutus and
this line is in a major growth spurt! Our
latest creation - Fairy Bodices.
Each set (bodice and halo) is lovingly
handmade and originally designed within the
color scheme and personality of our
exceptional Fairy archetypes. Fabrics and
embellishments vary, so no two are exactly
alike.
Pictured from left to right, top to
bottom: bodices/halos/wings inspired by
Fairies Tamara, Esmeralda, Ravanna and
Luminara
According to lovely Fairy Jennifer, modeling
the 4 varieties shown you can't NOT feel like
a Fairy Goddess when you wear these
ultra-feminine and sparkling creations!
Note the fabulous fabrics and shimmering
shades! When you visit the Fairy Couture
page do click to enlarge the individual
photos so you can appreciate the incredible
details and craft-fairy-ship of each bodice.
For our Halloween Special many of these
original designs will be sold as full sets,
including wings, halos, wands and even black
leggings (Ravanna &Esmeralda styles) at
prices well below their collective values!
They will make enviable costumes, but also
perfect for Renaissance Faires, Fairy
Festivals, modeling at home or
starting a fairy fashion trend wearing the
bodice over a skirt, leggings or jeans. The
stretch bodice comes in various sizes ranging
from child to adult. Contact us directly if
you have any questions or preferences. We
will be introducing many more fairy-inspired
styles in the next few weeks!

Fair-apy EXPLORING A HIDDEN DESIRE |
|
Ravanna is also the Diva of Desire (note her
sassy red pumps peeking out!) She invites you
to take a tiny step this month towards
fulfilling a hidden desire, kind of like
dipping your toes in the mysterious mote
surrounding Ravanna's House of Shadows.
Spend 15-20 minutes doing this exercise:
Think about something you have secretly
longed to explore in yourself; to write a
book; go back to school, do stand-up comedy;
learn to dance salsa - think about what
you would have to do realistically to
accomplish this, what sacrifices you would
have to make, and how it would challenge you.
Most importantly contemplate how you would
feel once you had fulfilled this desire. No
need to go beyond this step for the time
being - just keep in mind that according to
astrologer Caroline Casey, "imagination
lays the tracks for the Reality Train to
follow."
