Goodie, Goodie

I have a bit of a weakness for gumdrops. They are sort of a magical candy that reminds me of 

Gingerbread Houses especially this time of year. Gingerbread Houses remind me of the story Hansel and Gretal and you all know I am quite a push over for a fairy-tale. 

This Gumdrop recipe is from Bakerella and is just too cute!

Sweet little gumdrops

She even includes a download for a cutie label.

This would be a perfect holiday favor even without the Gingerbread House.

Goodie for you! xoxo Queen Laura

Welcome to the Doll House

I still have my very first doll house. In fact, my five year old niece turned it into a barn and still plays with it today! There are about a million choices out there for doll houses and really any of them would probably get hours upon hours of enjoyment as they one of the very best toys out there for imaginative play! I am currently loving these, Lille Huset Eco-friendly modular doll houses. Made from recycled paper, Baltic birch,and earth friendly printing. 

I think they just make the quaintist of dwellings. Just waiting for a little decor, some people to move in and a lot of imagination! xoxo Queen Laura

At the Children's Table

I found this darling idea for children for a Thanksgiving Table Decoration from Martha Stewart. 

The Headdress Napkin Wrap is a super simple idea to dress up a napkin that turns into a lovely headdress for before, during and after the feast!

Find the tutorial here. I am filled with THANKS for you Martha for a cute idea!
