Persephone (Savannah) and Demeter (Kasi)My talented neighbor, Angela, created these lovely costumes for her girls in only a couple of hours! The flower head wreaths are a perfect touch for the goddesses of spring and harvest.
Mythological Demeter and Persephone were mother and daughter, respectively, and we chose these girls' 'roles' for the party immediately, given our neighbors' interest in gardening and the girls' sweet characters! Kasi is also rather motherly towards her little sister, so it was perfect!
Of course, that's perfect in my opinion! The day after Kasi received the invitation, she asked me with a slightly pleased but perplexed expression, "What's this thing about Demeter and Persephone? I don't get it!" It was so cute! We do dwell in fantasy land quite a lot, and our neighbors are lovely and far more grounded folks than our brood, though of course we may have been confused, too, if we hadn't been reading up on Greek mythology!
We are so lucky to have such compatible and helpful neighbors! They are always game for all our quirks, such as the pet chickens, vegetarian cookouts and Greek mythology birthday parties! I like to think we pleasantly amuse them :). We hope they remain our neighbors for a very long time!
