The Princess and the Pea

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, lived a tiny young Princess...she was the sweetest child in all the land, with skin as fair as the Arctic snow, and eyes as dark and rich as espresso(c'mon guys, this is a modern fairy tale!)

One day, not so long ago, the Princess decided that she was far too old and far too fancy to sleep in a crib, so she flung herself out of it in an attempt to procure a far more suitable sleeping arrangement. Of course the King and Queen of the Land were so surprised by the misadventures of their youngest Princess that they immediately began the search for a bed fit for their little Snowflower. When the Queen of the Land spotted the perfect one on Ye olde Craigslist, she ran to the King (actually she emailed him) and together they decided that this was the perfect bed for their Sweet Pea. It was not too big or too small but just right.

Even the Princesses older sister agreed...because it looked so much like her own!

The oldest princess even helped to choose her sister's bedding, insisting that they had the same! At night, after the Princessess had bathed and dressed in their nightclothes, the oldest took time to read bedtime stories to her little sister
Obviously...they're pretty good stories!

Good night sweet Snowflower...we love you!

no peas were harmed in the telling of this tale

p.s. Paisley is sporting a rather lovely scratch on her cheek...don't worry, this was not from falling out of her bed!

Your girls rooms are beautiful! Fit for a princess. I love the blue dresser and mirror with the bedding...it looks wonderful! Both of your girls are precious! My daughter has the same bedding and I LOVE it.

Love it! Truly a bed fit for Princess Paisley!

We still have the little unattractive toddler bed...but it really does not matter. NEITHER girl will sleep in their own bed for long ;(

Her room is beautiful!!! She seems to little to be in her big bed already... Wasn't yesterday, that you were bringing her home?

Not ready for that transition yet... Her Rubiness is snuggled up in her crib at the moment!

Both rooms are so beautiful, and clutter-free! How do you DO that?

So pretty. Love the wall color. Does she sleep in the new bed without falling out? B still freaks at the thought of sleeping in his bed without a side rail, and he's 5!

I am so envious about that sheet set/duvet that I want to move to your house.

Where did you get it?
