I have been thinking a lot about fairy tales lately. I'm not sure specifically why. Maybe because I like the show Grimm so much and could the costumes on Once Upon a Time be more amazing? I've also always been a reader of fairy tales, old and new. I think they can really make you look at life in new ways. As I get older I've realized it becomes more and more important to have and seek out those fairy tale like days and nights. I think I'm going to be regularly sharing my fairy tales both old and new with you. I'd like to start with a fairy tale weekend that took place Halloween 2010 at the House on the Rock http://www.thehouseontherock.com/. Easily one of most unique places in the world. It was a weekend hosted by Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite writers, in celebration of his book, American Gods.
Besides, touring this astounding place there was a party, signings, costume contests and a panel with Neil- which for me was truly something special because my question was choosen to be addressed by him!
Here are some pictures from the weekend and believe me when I tell you this barely scratches the surface of this amazing place.
