Getting ready for the studio’s FancyFest was harder than it looked

We fell in love with the Fancy Nancy books this year, about a imaginative little girl who “repurposed” things around the house, embellishes & “foofies” to make herself, and her room, and her family “fancy”. At our studio, we organized a princess camp a couple years ago, where little princes and princesses could dress up and have a pottery party. It was very popular, for the kids, their parents, and especially my staff.
This year, we decided to do a twist on princess camp and make it a “fancy fest”, which puts more of a focus on using clothing they or family already has, like scarves, gloves, ribbon (or christmas ornaments as earrings)…feather boas and tiaras from the party store were quite acceptable.
Well, Katie was quite displeased (that’s a fancy word for ‘mad’), that i put mini pig tails in her hair to keep it out of her face during crafts, and cute underneath the black tophat tweeted with a small pink boa and silky scarf around the ban. Yes i took out the pig tails and substituted barrets instead and all was fine…but you have to admit, the pouting princes is adorable.
