“Do you believe in fairies? We do.” For over a decade, The Fairy Store has been spreading magic not only throughout the Pacific Northwest, but also across the globe. Located in Lakewood, The Fairy Store is filled with wonder and all things magical.
Shirley Ritter, better known as The Fairy Godmother, owns and operates The Fairy Store, dedicating her time to bringing joy to others through fairy magic. Eight years ago, Shirley retired from her longtime nursing career after she found out the store was for sale by the original owner. The same day, she went in to see the shop for herself, the rest was history and she left as the proud new owner.
“I am The Fairy Godmother, and that’s the best job that anybody could ever have,” Shirley says with a smile.
The Fairy Store, also known online as eFairies.com, is sought out by people all over the world and aims to become the main resource internationally for all things fairy magic – from fairy houses and garden supplies, to apparel and artwork, to children’s costumes and so much more. A common misconception is that The Fairy Store is just for kids. This store has something for everyone and carries more than 6,000 one-of-a-kind fairy products. The Fairy Store keeps its entire inventory in-shop, which allows them to fulfill their worldwide shipments daily. Each order is beautifully packaged, complete with the store’s signature purple tissue paper, fairy dust and tied with a ribbon.
“Even the people who can’t come by in person, we want them to have a good experience when they receive their package,” Shirley says.

Each customer gets to choose from a variety of sparkle colors and is guaranteed to leave with a smile from ear to ear, even on their worst day. “The fairy dust really helps people smile,” she explains. “We have people come in simply because they just need to have a fix; a fairy fix! There’s just a lot of bad stuff that goes on outside in the world and people need a safe haven.”
