Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. 

 -C.S. Lewis

We're sure there must have been a time in both of our lives when we were too cool and too mature to enjoy a fairy tale.  In our eyes, fairy tales had become child's play.  We couldn't possibly be bothered with a silly world of fantasy, c'mon...we had much better grown-up things to do.

Fortunately, we have passed that stage and are currently now "old enough" to enjoy fairytales yet again.  However, not only are we enjoying them, we are creating them.




With some help from a little one who has yet to cease believing and enjoying...

To say that Saturday evening was magical would not be enough.  We were so lucky to have been able to experience yet another year of The Fairy Tale Ball.  Benefiting The Children's Museum of Southeastern CT, the spectacular event was held this year at Sonalyst Studios in Waterford. 
Event chair, Josh Chalmers, did an amazing job coordinating all that made this evening special.

Each table is sponsored by both businesses and individuals and represents a children's themed book.
Creating "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" was our way of not letting the Christmas season end quite yet. 

Thanks to our special guest, Bob DuFour, Santa really did make one last appearance before preparing for next Christmas.

The past three years we have enjoyed being a part of such a wonderful event. Specifically being able to create for two of those years alongside some incredibly talented people.

The tables were amazing, the food utterly scrumptious, and the company marvelous. 

To be able to do what we enjoy most, as well as benefit an organization such as the Children's Museum of Southeastern CT is such a privilege.

We already have great anticipation for what next years ball may bring, and we have begun brainstorming!
