Twig the Fairy

Isn't she cute? Meet Twig the Fairy, a whimsical creature who has been attracting much attention on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/twigthefairy) and her website (http://www.twigthefairy.com/). Twig is a friendly figure who makes regular appearances around the country at rennaisance faires and other fun events. She doesn't speak, but you always know what she's saying via her mime skills and her magic flute. And yes, she has mushrooms on her hat. Can she fly? Actually, when it came to flying school, I think she sort of dropped out. She posts every day with a heartwarming bit of fairy wisdom and usually a glitter of fairy dust. Kids are her favorites , and she has just launched a project to write her second children's book. She sells photos of herself, coffee mugs, refrigerator magnets and so on. She creates her own vocabulary as needed, like "Don't take me gliterally!"

Here's another favorite picture of mine:

This fairy is fun, beautiful, heartwarming, and very savvy at marketing. As of this moment, she has 224,777 Facebook fans. No, I didn't type that wrong. A simple message, a charming image, and she's created a great brand. Just checked - now that's 224,778.
