Fairy Village

The Griswold Museum asked their artists to create tiny fairy houses all over the museum grounds. They ended up with 35 fairy houses, which were truly amazing. They were incredibly imaginative, detailed, and diverse. Here are some pictures of our favorites.

Halloween

Sue was a witch this halloween. She loved the face painting, but was only OK about her costume (the hat was too small and kept on falling off).

This year we joined Kim Dattilo's girl scouts halloween party Saturday afternoon, had dinner with them, and then went trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. In spite of the gloriously mild weather, and the fact that it was a Saturday night, there were noticeably fewer trick-or-treaters this year. Swine flu effect, perhaps?

I painted Sue's face green, and added a spider web on one cheek and a spider on the other. Sue's favorite part: putting on the black lipstick.



Sue also loved the fake witch nails, for about 2 minutes, until she realized that fake nails are a pain in the arse, and she was having trouble picking up candy from the bowls offered.



Here's a slide show of Kim's Halloween party.
