Have you ever listened to your kids conversations as they are engrossed in pretend play? It's quite fascinating and revealing of their little personalities. This is H. at play in the basement/playroom. The play tent was a recent project. (I'll give instructions later.) The posters are from a street vendor in Dijon. They are school instructional posters from the fifties. The colors are so rich and brilliant on a nice heavy matte paper. I love the simple domestic scenes especially. (For a closer look at them, check out the May archives.) H.'s red dress was a project from last winter. My mom, the master seamstress, helped me sew it.

Darling, I wish I had a girl, she is just simply wonderful! The room looks fantastic just like anything you guys make.
Wow. I really love the dress and that tent! You are such a talented seamstress! And the choice of fabrics is great.
Good grief!
When I first looked at those pictures, I thought they were from a "home' type magazine.
That tent is adorable!
I'd make one but we don't have room to swing a cat in our little house! Heee heee!

melissa!!!! how gorgeous -- girl, tent, posters, dress!!! what a fun little play land. Speaking of overheard toddler conversations with themselves - I heard L. inflicting strict punishment on her stuffed unicorn yesterday for not making his bed. She was putting him in time-out for being "naughty, naughty, naughty"... it made me think: am I too strict?! :)
And what a lovely little house.
what cute pics!!! love the prints and play tent!!!
Where is this street fair in Dijon? I want to hit it the next time we're in town (probably next summer). Those prints are lovely and I really like how you hung them. Again, totally inspired!
what beautiful pictures, and a gorgeous room to play in too!!!
That is the prettiest play tent I've seen. You're one clever lady!
I love, love that tent!
Also, love the woodland bedroom.
Oh my goodness! I've been searching the internet for plans for a play house just like this! I'd like to make one for my daughter. (For Christmas!) Please post or email me directions if you have the time!
I would love to know how to make the tent!

Hi Melissa,
Do you have a pattern for your tent?
As ever the styling is perfection in this photo set!
What a lovely tent! I've been searching for something like this to make or purchase. Would you be able to share the pattern? Thanks so much.
