This is a special edition of All About Tiaras written especially for us from a tiara lady that we met once. Tiaras are more than an accessory and have special meaning here at RUFFES & RIBBONS GIRLS' HOME for just sooo many reasons.

First; they are gorgeously femininie. They go sooo well with the long hair and skirts that mark us as what we are. They cmplete the look that starts with the full skirt and ends with the apex of the little headpiece. In fact, the lady who owns Petticoat Pond said that tiaras "...are very LG [Little Girl]". A tiara goes with any length of skirt, especially if it is full or flare. with a long dress, she looks pretty, with a short one, she looks cute: However, only long hair, shoulder or more will do.

Second, and least importantly; tiaras are part of other things that are soo girlish. Being a Princess, a bride or a ballarina. While we love tiaras, like the Fairies, for their own special look and feel, these activities are none the less part of being a girl.

Finally, and most importantly; tiaras are especially prized by the Fairies, who are our dearest frineds and apparently, those of Lady D'Arielle. I have let Tiara Fairy choose the font used for the page titles, She has chosen a favorite of hers called Fairy Script

The Fairies, who "are with" at least three different tiaras depending on what part of the day it is, tell us that the tiara that she is with "tells her what to feel" and contains her spirita vita, or "elanne vitale". Tiaras often incorporate symbols that are important to Fairies because they remind them of where they came from or represent things that are important or virtuous to them. They have special ceremonies to honor their tiaras and show that they are loved. One such is that the Fairy takes each of her tiaras, kisses her, says her name lovingly and puts her back on her display shelf

So why not read our little book, try wearing a tiara and be the judge for yourself. Although we do not think of tiaras as something you wear like a dress or a cloak. it is hard to say just how we think of them, more as a part of us.
