FaerieCon!
doesn't even scratch the surface of all the great experiences,
like-minded people-meeting, hysterical laughter, awe inducing beauty, episodes of pure bliss...
but here are some when I did have the presence of mind to capture moments.

Thank you to everyone who made the event so successful and enjoyable! Can't wait til' next year.

a few beautiful booths in the convention center...





our booth! couldn't have done it without the fabulous [info]medievalmuse
~thank you for all your hard work and support over the long weekend!



Good Faeries!

Jen, elfin lovely [info]medievalmuse & our elegant roomie [info]lilassea, purveyor of magical goods at Midnight Muse



stunner [info]sidhe_etain in the middle!


Bad Faeries!







Lindsay! her costumes for both balls were perfection!









Wendy Froud in her Sacred Heart necklace she picked up in my booth earlier in the day! swoon.



more booth shots...







one of my favorite costumes, he made everyone smile so much.







our friend Joe played fiddle to [info]ellen_kushner's Thomas The Rhymer performance...



..and then honored the booth with a mini concert before heading off to his third performance of the day! That boy works hard.







for [info]sihaya09, a wtf moment from Bad Faeries Ball...



my view from the booth was fantastic, as gorgeous fae paraded by.



I thought I had taken more pictures, but [info]medievalmuse captured a lot more than I did. Mostly I was behind my booth, overwhelmed and overstimulated, but very happy.

there are some more windows into the world of the Con at flickr and on the lj community [info]faeriecon

not to mention a great group image including Edie and our beloved filmmaker Lisa Stock in her blog here

Philly October 2008 join us there!

So wonderful! Your booth looks so spectacular and inviting. I have a show in two weeks, and we are only allowed a table...no canopies, so I need to get creative.....the idea of the grapevine wreath and the moss is awesome...i may have to steal that idea!! Your pics are so great, i feel bad we never made it, im only about an hour or so away, i wanted to go so badly. Hopefully next year I will make it, and Pascalbijou will as well...that would be awesome to have a "handful of redheads" together!! By the way, dont know what you put in your hair but the color is awesome...mine looks like that only the first day I do it, then unfortunately fades.....your costumes are just amazing, your post made me happy to see, as Im not in the best of moods right now with my Angels passing. Hope to see you there next year. You rock!!!!

thank you! It is hard when you only have a table, it limits what you can do somewhat. go ahead and steal the grapevine/moss idea...I'm sure I'm not the first anyway :)
hope you can come next year also! I'm already planning things in my mind.

the red is a new Feria color, just came out :) has lots of staying power!

so sorry to hear of Angel's passing, I know how hard it can be to lose such a sweet companion.

Oh Holy Moly, Wendy Froud bought your stuff. I would have screamed like a fangirl and passed out.

Your pavilion layout turned out absolutely gorgeously. It's perfect.

You guys all look absolutely gorgeous, and Jen, your hair is so beyond amazing. If I could get my hair to hold a curl like yours, I'd never go straight again.

I know! I nearly did scream and pass out, but they were both so nice and easy to talk to it made it easier to contain myself :)

thank you about the booth, I was really happy with it in the end. setting up in a new area can be stressful!

you see, everyone wants what they don't have. I love straight hair and pay good money to have it that way whenever I can :)

How beautiful! Your booth looks so inviting. And lovely fantastical outfits on everyone! How I wish I could dress like that on a daily basis. (Well, I could but just imagining the looks I'll get at the grocery store!)

I often think the same thing. . . but it seems that clothing like that is not exactly "comfortable" for me. I'd always be fussy with a lacy sleeve or picking up skirts so I didn't trip. I usually toss on stretchy black pants and either a T-shirt or a cotton velvet tunic . . . and then forget about the clothing.

But yeh, I wish. Can you imagine how being swathed in beauty all day would transform our lives? And maybe even the lives of the people gawking at the grocery store!

That looks like so much fun!! We had tickets to Faerieworlds, but we didn't go. I wish it was indoors like this one.

Sorry you missed Faerieworlds...

funny, I heard many people wishing FaerieCon could be outside, the convention center seemed so cold and vast.

Your booth came out great!!!! and you were worried--no need to have been, I see! It looked very inviting and cozy!

The costumes also looked great! yours and all the others I saw from your pictures. A little perplexed by the guys in dress shirts and not costumes--Well shameful!--at a FAERYCON!...wait...were they....? ;)

Re: faerycon

(Link)

thank you!
sometimes it is hard to visualize something until it is all up in the place and you can add to it as you go along. Lisa helped so much too, she has a great eye.

I like that everyone does their own thing at faeriecon, a little or a lot of costuming, whatever they are comfortable with.

I have already sent in my application!

I really hope to make it, it sounds/looks like so much fun! Everyone I met from Spoutwood were so lovely, I would hate to wait a whole year to be a part of such things again.
