Flower Fairy!

This summer, the theme was wedding, as our family prepared for the nuptials of Mister's brother. I was enlisted by the bride-to-be to make invitations, burlap and lace flatware sacks, the veil, and the bridal sash! 

Mister was to be the best man, and the Dreamer was asked to be the flower girl. She was ecstatic, and I was equally thrilled to be entrusted with sewing the flower girl's frock! 

She got to get ready with the "big girls"; therefore, to discourage her from a desire for grown-up makeup, I decorated one side of her face with a subtle golden fairy tattoo scrawled on with a gold smudgeproof eyeliner (I used 16 hr. Loreal infallible silky pencil eyeliner in gold) and allowed her to wear some shimmering lip gloss.

She took her job very seriously. She developed what can only be considered a one-sided womance with the bride, her soon-to-be-aunt, and she spent the bulk of her time staring in awe of her beauty. She was honored to sprinkle a rose petal path for the gorgeous bride, and enjoyed a late evening of dancing the night away! As it turns out, nerd alert: Mister and I have a very corny dance machine for a daughter; we love her anyways!
