Hi Twig! Remember me? Last summer, May and the May before that I was absolutely enthralled by your beautiful face and music. My cousin Abryanna kept blabbering about a fairy, a fairy and at first I thought she was full of beans. But then, when i saw you, I just bubbled over with absolute wonder. I look forward to you every year and love being around you. I loook forward to you in Scarborough in May!

Twig... I am so happy to have encountered you - first at Scarby... then at Colorado... It doesn't look like you are coming to Ohio, though the Great Lakes Medieval Faire would be perfect!  Shall I send them a request for you?  I hope to be playing there myself next season!

I live in Ohio, now - and finally have found the love of my life.  We were married in September.  I hope to get back to Texas this Spring, so you can meet him!  

 I have some music I would like to share with you sometime.   I play the whistle, too, and have several that Eric made.  One song is called "The Fae Child's Aire" - a melody that was in my head as I woke one morning... 

 Thank you for all the smiles.  Just looking at the pictures brings back the sweet memories!

Looking forward to next time... 

Best of all to you, my favorite Fae!

 Thanks for sharing your talent.  I did get one of your helper as well as several of you.

Just yesterday I went to my first Rennesance Faire in my life, and everything was incredible as everyone says it is. The foods, the shops, the jousts.... and a certian little fairy wandering around and handing out her magic stones.

I know I'm what most people consider way too old to like fairies, but I still love them. Everything about fairy lore still facinates me to no end. I had only been at the faire for maybe half an hour when I saw Twig, wings shimmering, playing a cheerful nameless tune on her odd little flute. I was hooked at once. And I was especialy surprised when she gave me a stone, for I would have thought that she was an entertaner just for the younger ones. But I guess age doesn't matter when it comes to fairy love.

I ended up seeing Twig maybe twice throughout the day, always getting a stone. And I just couldn't quit looking at her. She just seemed so cheerful, so sweet, with just a touch of mystery to her. I watched all the little kids come her way, watched her smiling at them and playing her flute. I thought that, like the other performers who were doing this kind of stuff all day, she would eventually get tired of it and loose some of her charm. But no, it was like she was made for the job. Even my parents loved her.

Twig was a main conversation topic for me and my group as we headed on home. She had left a lasting impression on us, old as we were. We couldn't quit wonderng about where she had come from, why she had never spoken a word, etc., etc..

But I guess that's what fairies are all about, right? They never really come, they never really go. They're just suddenly there, in glitterng music and magic. They brighten your day and show you there's still magic left in the world.

So thank you, Twig, for my first Rennesance. I hope to see you next year!

When i found out what my little sister was so intrested in so was i . about a week or two ago my school and i went to the renissance. when i told my friends who i was looking for they all joined the hunt. the momenti saw those buetiful wings i screamed. the first weeks of school was sighn language so knew exactly what to do same with my friends ,jessy b, z, taylor and my best friend ever JORDAN S.

The thing about Twig, is that if you truly look for her, you'll never find her. If you look with your heart, and wander around the faire enjoying yourself, you might just stumble apon a fairy with a love for glitter.

Many people love Twig, many people want to know who she is, or why she does, what she does. I do not know the answers to these questions- all I know is that she is. That's what's so magical about her, she just does what she loves to do. It doesn't matter why she does it- it just matters when you see the look on a four-year-olds face when they've been having a bad day, and then they meet her. The rest of their lives they will remember the fairy- and if there was any real fairy, Twig would be the one.

And all of these years later, when I think back to the time I was smal too, the memory doesn't change. It doesn't get tinted by the elements of "here", or "I'm older now", those don't change anything about the way I feel. Twig makes you a child again, it doesn't matter how old you are, or even how old your supposed to act, it just matters that you just are.

Twig,

We attend the Ren Fest in Minnesota each year. A few years ago we say you for the first time. You left such an impression on my daughters that we have returned each year specifically to see you. My seven year old daughter has a form of autism and has trouble making friends. Ever since she saw you for the first time she has refered to you as her best friend. You have brought hope to my little girl.

We missed you this year, although we looked for you all day. We will surely be back next year so Faith can have another chance to see her "best friend".

Thank you. 

My daughter Chloe has just fell in love with Twig...and I must say I have too.. She is the main reason we attend the festival...When I see Chloe with her, my eyes swell up as they are now..I have made her believe so much in fairys and the mythology behind them that she really truly believes that Twig is the mother to all the fairies...We love you Twig, please do not ever stop coming to Huntersville NC....it would never be the same without you!!!

All of our love,

The Stricklins

Dear Twig, 

I attended the Minnesota Renaissance Faire for my birthday with a group of friends - we're family, truly, we call ourselves the Pack - a few years ago. While I must admit, I remember I was expecting more role playing and less commercialism, I remember a couple small acting groups and people who seemed to truly have the spirit of the place.

 When I found this site, the picture looked so familiar...and then the stories of the little magical stones?

 One of the few things that seemed right at the Faire, and it could only have been Twig. My thanks to you, and do I quite wish I still had my stone. I could use a wish now! Continue to make days brighter,

 The Enchantressa
