Today was a happy day in Sugarplum Land: Liliana and I created a little toadstool-themed nook in the corner of our balcony. We've eaten every meal since Springtime out on the balcony and spend a lot of time there since it is the coolest spot in the house thanks to all the breezes, so a play area will hopefully be the perfect addition. We started the play area with a little wooden stand that I had picked up at a garage sale and then stained. Upon that we added the girls' Fairy Lodge, some Holztiger toys, some toadstools painted by Aunt Em, and some toadstool houses that I made using some unfinished bird houses from a hobby store. (I used a steak knife to slice the easily cut wood to change the round bird holes into doorways, then painted the roof of each red with white dots). We then added a toadstool table, toadstool chalkboard, the garden pushcart, a clothesline with hand-painted clothespins (with which I plan to hang up the girls' artwork) and here we are in Toadstool Corner!
