I think of Fairy more of a bit more modern of a word, and associated more with sweet little creatures that are here only to help people through the sweet side.
Similarities, I see both having magical to us and enchanting to us properties and abilities.

I did mean faery, then, like the Sidhe and Tuatha.
Victorian-era spirits of sugar plums and blossoms would be... fairy, right?
I personally prefer "fey" or "fae" (no difference but spelling) for the beings.
