Ever celebrate “Tell a Fairy Tale” Day? If not and you would like to start, mark the date February 26 on your calendar. Henceforth, you can celebrate Tell a Fairy Tale Day happily ever after.

I rather like the Disney animated versions of this tale.
I agree with carol , Thank you for sharing
Happy to share. What a shame I don’t have a magic carpet to take everyone on a ride. 🙂
Cinderella and Snow White were two of many favorites.
I have a memory of going to the store with my mom and she bought a paperback book “Cinderella” for me. I remember both of Cinderella’s gowns. The first one was pink and the second one was blue. LOL.
Great that we can remember!
