Carnival Fun...

I mentioned in a previous post that I am planning on redecorating our sun room in a Carnival Theme. I got the idea after seeing all of Emily's prints from her Lost on the Midway Collection. You can see all her wonderful pieces here.The Black Apple shop was where I made my first etsy purchase. She is such a talented artist. Here are a few of my favorites I would love to hang in our Sun Room:




I did purchase her postcard set from this collection and plan on hanging them as garland.


Becky sent me this doll pattern which will be perfect on the guest bed:

I then of course had to order these to go with the Siamese Twin pillow. I love that you can embroider the tattoos before sewing them. Adorable!!

Both of these doll patterns can be purchased at Spoonflower.
I am so excited to get started on the decorating. This will give me an excuse to pop in our dvds of Carnivale for a little more inspiration!

I highly recommend this show if you haven't seen it. It was a shame that it only lasted two seasons.
What is inspiring you these days?
XOXO

Did you see Bravo's "Next great Artist"? A girl named Perrigrin from Kansas City was in the finals and her entire show was "carnival" themed!
