When a world of fantasy collides with your own, you're always going to be up to your neck in adventure. The masquerade mask is an iconic feature in that ballroom scene, I knew I had to get one and also wanted it to display in my Labyrinth movie collection so I didn’t mind paying a little more for a fantastic replica on etsy from seller Flora and Fauna Fest.

My daughter is also starting to learn to sew, so she helped make her own fur pants from fabric that we got at Joann’s. It revolves around 16-year-old Sarah‘s ( Jennifer Connelly) quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant half-brother Toby, whom Sarah accidentally wished away to Jareth, the Goblin King ( David Bowie). There are some great Sarah wigs on Etsy and this particular one came with the silver wrap and ribbon already attached.I needed to wait until all my girls had experienced the movie and loved it as much as I did as a kid.
