come over to the UK as well. So if you’re looking for a sustainable handmade costume, please take a look at the Threads of a Fairytale shop as there’ll be loads of outfits to choose from.

New Forest Fairy Festival 2021
It is my main event of the year this weekend (14th-15th of August): I’m going to have my stall at the New Forest Fairy Festival!

Why the New Forest Fairy Festival was cancelled
I’m always intrigued about behind the scenes of anything I don’t know about. It’s so easy to think we know what’s going on, or to make
assumptions over what we’re not being told; or just guess at what it’s like to do something we don’t do ourselves. We can go about our life and meet people along the way, and I always want to know what is really going on with what they do…
