Flight of Fairies, Ollie Girl's Pixie Hollow ;0)











I was delighted to receive such gorgeous images from my models who came together for a group shoot to showcase our newest fairies for the My Fairy Friends Collection.
I was anxious to have these up prior to the fall to make sure we had our fairy bases covered ;0)
Each fairy's design has detailing unique to each character. Wings, pixie shoes and wands are available additionally as matching accessories and not included with the dresses.

All fairies are available for order. Please contact me at angela@boutiqueolliegirl.com for questions and orders. Currently turnaround time is about 8 weeks, making it an ideal time to start ordering those Halloween and fall customs. I would like to serve as many of you as possible. I look forward to working with you!

Kool- Aid Snow Cones



Every summer, my kids pull out the snow cone maker (if it made it through the prior summer) and are ready for their cool summer treats.
We couldn't seem to find a store that sold the traditional syrup we normally purchased in the summers past. So I had this earth shattering idea to use those Kool-Aid packets I used to love as a kid.
The result.... a totally new addiction! The syrups we concocted were simply delicious and taste so much better than store-bought.
The recipe is simple. One cup sugar, one cup water, one Kool-Aid packet..... That's it! We stored ours in platic water bottles and have quite the assortment for whatever flavor you happen to be in the mood for!
Now how you achieve your snow will be up to your own creativity. We have a small ice shaver machine but a regular blender set to the highest speed setting should work well. I don't recommend the Snoopy Snow cone machine, unless you want a melted snow cone;0)
Enjoy!
