FaerieCon 09

CALLING ALL FAERIES, ELVES, PIXIES, SPRYTES, FAUNS, SATYRS, GREENMEN AND WOMEN,, WITCHES, WIZARDS, WARLOCKS, TROLLS, GOBLINS AND FOLKS OF FAE!

It's that time of year again, and if you are anything like me you have been weaving your magic and stardust for weeks and weeks now creating your wares and costumes for FaerieCon! I have put up pics of my costume for the Bad Faerie Masquerade Ball (black and scarlet frock) for your viewing pleasure. I have also put up pics of the costume I have crafted for my dear friend who will be attending this year's festivities with me. I will be wearing a Good Faerie costume during the day, and donning my "naughty nymph" threads in the evening--much like our beloved Brian Froud's book "Good Faeries, Bad Faeries." Or as the Ruler of Darkness in Legend so aptly says, "What is the Light, without the Darkness?"

What is FaerieCon you ask? FaerieCon is the East Coast sister celebration the West Coast's FaerieWorlds. It is a huge celebration of everything Faerie. Artisans, crafters, storytellers, and faerie people of all walks join together for one weekend of love, magic, sharing and fun. Almost everyone at the festival dresses up as their true faerie self. The event features a Good and Bad Faerie Ball each night with live music by faerie and fantasy singers and bands. Check it out!

I'll be sure to post pics of our adventure after we return from the Faerie Realm...if we do...
