This was my first festival here in the Chicagoland area and it went off with a bang. The threat of rain quickly dissipated, children came out in droves with their parents, begging to be turned in to fairies and dragons. There was music, tons of performers, historical reenactments, and loads of sunshine.
But, words fails me. We suffered a little camnesia this weekend, but did manage to take a few spectacular pictures to sum up the busy two days. I was on my feet most of the time, didn’t get much of a break Saturday and managed to take some time to walk with Ellette on Sunday.
So, highlights!
Welcome to my shop: Little Green Pixie

And even your pets!:
Oh, and I like to paint:
There were wonderful transformations all around. Odin and I had a lovely time and will definitely be returning next year. If you are in the Evanston/Chicago area and are interested in a face painting pixie, just send me an email at thewishingstarAThotmailDOTcom (changing the words for symbols).
Also, keep an eye on the “Find the Faery” page to find out what public events I will be at so you can stop by to say hi!
What’s up this week?
I have two commissions I am working on – the Da Vinci wings and Charizard wings. I will be making more plushstaches, baby wings, and top hats. I am also designing wings specifically for dogs, per request. I have a few ideas for how to work those out. Full week!
