GIT (glitterfairy in training), Michelle!

Meet my wonderful new Wilton High School Intern, Michelle!

I am thrilled to have another set of hands here in the studio.

She will be designing, organizing and helping
with the manufacturing of our glittergoods.

As you can see, she is already into the paint
and will be glittering soon!

I hope to teach her all about running a cottage business

and, of course,

how to be a GIT, aka, "glitterfairy in training"!

Welcome, Michelle!

My newest collection...

Designed exclusively for The Kennebunkport Resort Collection,

these will be available soon at The Tides Beach Club, Hidden Pond,

The Cottages at Cabot Cove and The Kennebunkport Inn.

Each venue has it's own set of glittery ornaments.

Now visitors may take a bit of their Maine vacation home with them...

If you are looking for a VERY special place to stay in Maine,

check out these lovely resorts

and tell them The Glitterfairy sent you!

Peonia perfection...

I rescued these voluptuous and obscenely beautiful posies
from the rainstorm this afternoon...

Each one is more exquisite than the next,

and now the house smells divine!

The first peonies of the season are always the best!

I'm sure there must be peonies in heaven...

More of my eggcellent Pet Talk Adventure!

Fun, fun and more fun!

Sneaky Preview of Pet Talk Show's Easter Eggstravaganza!!!

Don't we look cute in matching bunny ears???

I always have sooooooo much fun with

the adorably wonderful Lauren Collier!

We had some fab Easter fun today

taping her Pet Talk show for next weekend 4/8 & 4/9/12.

I had a lot to set up...This segment was especially enjoyable...

but I can't let the cat out of the bag...

er... I mean the Easter Bunny out of the basket...

You'll just have to wait 'til Saturday or Sunday to see what we created!

Tune in to New Channel 12's

Pet Talk with Lauren Collier on Easter weekend.

Check your local listing for show times...

Fri(hens) with benefits...

I was thrilled to be asked to babysit my friend's chickens yesterday,

and I got to keep the results!

Check out these gorgeous eggs!

It's kind of hard to see the subtle colors,

but the shades of cream, pink, brown and yes,

that gorgeous Aracauna blue are beyond beautiful...

This is only the second time in my life

that I have possessed real, fresh, still warm hen's eggs...

an indescribable treat!

Should I eat them this very minute???

Hmmmmm.....

I might just have to save these beauties and blow them out

so I can enjoy them forever!

Happy (almost) Love Day...

Two of my newest cards to celebrate LOVE...(sigh)...

I love mixing gorgeous, vintage images

with my (often twisted...ahem!...) words.

These cards are simple and simply beautiful.

GlitterCards at Dovecote!

Got a chance to snap a quick shot of my card display

at Dovecote, in Westport, CT.

Don't they look wonderful???

I am so thrilled that they are in such a prominent place in the shop,

which is absolutely brimming with amazing things!

Stop by and pick up a sweet Valentine's Day card for your lovey...

or a birthday card for the "Queen of everything",

or a "thank you" for that special friend...

and tell them the glitterfairy sent you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Families to Families Boutique at Trackside was a huge success!

We sold lots of glittergoods, gave (and received) lots of hugs

and took enough orders to keep us busy 'til Christmas eve!!!!

(and we got to debut our fab new aprons, embroidered by SignatureStyle)

I am always amazed at how our town supports artists
and small businesses.

The mix of vendors was such fun...Gorgeous handmade Signature
Collection and grainsack bags from Sharp Hill Designs, whimsical hats,
pillows and scarves (all made from repurposed sweaters)
from Bev's Boilers, Witchipoo's fab jewelry

and shawls, Nancy Geany's handmade quilts, banners and aprons,
stationery from A Flood of Paper and, of course,
tasty delights from Scoops
and artisanal chocolates from Sweet Pierre's.

And that's just a few of the delightful vendors
who came out to support a good cause,

Wilton's own Social Services.

Marie, the show organizer, grabbed my heartstrings
when she asked us to remember how cold our homes got
a few weeks ago when we lost power

due to a freak storm.
She then asked us to imagine it being that cold

(or much colder) ALL of the time
because we didn't have money for fuel!

It may not be obvious to the casual onlooker,
but there are over 125 families

in our town who are struggling...who need our help.

Money raised from baked goods sales and the auction

will go directly to help those families.

So, it was a fantastic day all around and Pamfairy and I
thank you for coming out and supporting us...
It was such fun to see you all...

Yes, even the glitterfairy plays hookey once in a while...

There I am, right in the front row with wonderful friends,

20 feet away from Regis and Kelly!

(Thank you soooo much Ann, for the VIP seats!)

And what fun we had!

Regis and Kelly were so lovely to the studio audience,

and during breaks, shook hands and chatted.

They even posed for pictures with us after the show!

(I don't get into NY nearly often enough, and though

this is my busy season, I couldn't miss this fun day.)

I was then treated to a marvellous lunch

at Fiorello at Lincoln Center (THANK YOU, Ann!!!),

we strolled thru Central Park admiring the colorful foliage,

did some window shopping along Fifth Avenue,

inspected Harry Winston's fab jewels...ahem!...,

saw the tree going up at Rockefeller Center,

then headed back to the glitter mines...

What a wonderful and memorable day...

I love playing hookey...
