Oh come see! Come see! This is my new favorite room in my house! Is is where I film my videos...it isn't really a room with a door, as much as an area I have just filled with tables, drawers, desks, crafts, lot of containers with make-up, all my filming equipment, lights, tripods...and my one of my favorite things in all the world...my "fairy lights"!
When I was small, about 6, I used to set up displays on my dresser, on my night stand, on rocking chairs...anywhere. I would arrange little books, my stuffed animals, ribbon I had curled with my safety scissors, little figurines. My mom, would let my little 6 year old self, take pictures of my "scenes" with her big fancy camera. (
Thank you mom for letting me play and be creative, and not for saying your camera was too expensive for me to play with. The gift of creativity you gave me, far outweighed the price of that camera. Which I did not break either.)
I filled this area with objects of varying heights (which is always more interesting for the ol' eye balls), and with all kinds of things I just love and think are fun, cute and "candyland-ish". I used ornaments from Target, things from my vintage hunts, fake flowers I removed from their plastic stems, candy jars and cake stands...
PS. I have a fun tutorial idea for how to make the most adorable cake stands! Not sure if I should just blog the project or make a video- it's pretty easy, but sometimes videos are easier to see learn as I do it.
This is a vintage cake stand cover that I got at my favorite "second-hand-vintage-hunting-store". My glitter deer, Bambi 1 and Bambi 2 (I always thought Bambi sounded like a girl name)...one of Bambi's legs was broken a few years ago in an accident.
I got these stiff Ribbons at Target, and my little music inspired magazine rack, is another treasure from my fav store, it was only $12, then I saw another one in an antique store for $40! I scored.
I love this room...or at least the part of the room...I was thinking of doing a video tour of all my holiday decorations and show you my trees and everything, because my trees are my favorite trees I've ever decorated- they are even MORE "candyland" than this!!! And you can see how I used Dollar Store goodies to create our "fun-scapes"...let me know if you'd like to see!
wishing I could spend the whole day decorating and making crafts.....
Kraftdee, I mean, Kandee (ha ha ha)
