Fairies! Faeries! and more Fairies!

So I was inspired for today's post by another of my favorite Facebook pages, Freckles Fairy Chest.
Freckles runs her own business making awesome OOAK wearable art. She has Unicorn horns, head pieces, fae shoes, wings, well, I will quit boring you with descriptions and just show you a few photos.

Without further adieu, Freckles Fairy Chest:

I am so inspired by the colorful and absolutely stunning photos that she posts. She has so much talent and I totally urge you to go check out her page, she does some amazing giveaways as well.

As always my dears, all photos belong to their respective owners who created what is shown in the photos, I do not own these photos I am just promoting small businesses of creative people just trying to get by doing what they love. As a side note: Remember, small businesses thrive on their customers. If you know a small business owner and you love their stuff click share on Facebook or even just like. Being a small business owner is hard because yes, you could buy similar products from china on Ebay or at Walmart for cheaper prices, but remember those hats in china, were probably made in sweat shops by small children being paid pennies a week if even not to mention the horror stories of where Walmart's products come from. We are the proverbial small fish in a BIG ocean. I encourage you to google/bing something you like and see if you can find 5 small business pages that sell that item(s). If you do just throw them a like to show some support. Remember, bigger isn't always better. 

Here is a quick peek into my shop:
