| A fairy costume is something that I remember | | | | the backyard where all the fairies would gather |
| when I was a little girl, and that is sometime back | | | | and play. These stories had me spellbound and I |
| now I can tell you. I loved the look of my pretty | | | | would always wait until I could hear my parents |
| pink tutu complete with satin ribbon on my ballet | | | | go to bed and would tip toe to see if I could see |
| slippers and of course a must have wand. I would | | | | this party going on in my yard through my |
| complain bitterly when it was washday and my | | | | bedroom window, and of course fall to sleep |
| mother would have to bribe me to take it off to | | | | before I would actually see my much loved fairies |
| wash. I would wait not far from the clothes line | | | | at play. |
| waiting and willing for it to dry quickly in order to | | | | As time move on there were of course fairy |
| pop it back on to wear again. I would happily wear | | | | parties that I had at my themed birthday where |
| this little outfit regardless if I had a dress up | | | | all of my friends would wear their favorite little |
| event or not as it felt like I had the magic every | | | | outfits and as little girls would squeal and laugh as |
| time that I wore it. I actually believed I could do | | | | we chased each other around, and to me this |
| anything and I would happily grant all wishes that | | | | was how I imagined the fairy party would have |
| were asked of me. | | | | been in the backyard. |
| My fascination with fairies would continue | | | | Fairies have always been popular and have not |
| especially when you would be told to look after | | | | ever lost their magical existence for young and |
| and brush your teeth and the tooth fairy would | | | | the not so young. As now as an adult I too have |
| come and visit and leave money for the tooth | | | | a little toddler who loves dressing up in her |
| you left out in a glass of water. I thought that | | | | favorite toddler fairy costume and I of course will |
| was not a bad exchange to hand over a tooth | | | | dress all females in our family in their a fairy |
| that I didn't want anymore and was given a shiny | | | | outfits come Halloween 2010. To me there is no |
| new coin in exchange. | | | | other costume that comes close to the magic |
| At night my mother would read before I went to | | | | that fairies spread when wearing this fancy dress |
| bed of the secret fairy garden under the tree in | | | | outfit. |
