I’m sharing a few more “behind the scenes” shots from our Playful shoot with Jenner Brown, such as these brownstone cardboard dollhouses (inspired by my Brooklyn, NY days with a touch of Danish Row house in for colorful effect).

I pulled Meta in to quickly help style these shots a bit and she brought her darling Maileg mice again (perfect inhabitants for these houses. I know what little M is getting for her birthday, and Christmas, and…). (On Swayzie above: Miszkomaszko skirt, Ju Ju Bunny blouse and Hello Shisho necklace.)

(On Swayzie: Mabo Kids Mila Apron Sundress in Green Floral, on Lucy: Mabo Kids Wynne Swiss Dot Dress with Playful trapeze doll. Enter to win one of the dolls here!)

When I was a little girl, this was the exact sort of French fair maiden princess I wanted to be (pattern found in Playful)- with the exact shade of pink I loved (not to bright, not too pastel, just a nice coral peachy pink). I love that this version is so simple to make and the perfect dress up to put over everyday clothes. She makes me want to spend hours in a field again dreaming up tea parties and treaties that needed to be signed in order to save our kingdom.
