Since I never had those dreams appear, I did my best to give my daughter, Lou Lou, my best interpretation of the magic of sugarplums and sugarplum fairies as her Christmas decor in her bedroom.
I found the most sugarplum fairy-ish picture of her and framed it. Then I put it on her mantle with apothecary jars and candy jars filled to the brim with candies of all kinds! Then I put a greenery swag on the fireplace and tucked some fairies in the greenery to dance the night away!
I hung LOTS of tulle from the curtain behind her bed and strung lights and ribbon in with it.
Then to give it that fairy-ish look, I found her Tinkerbell costume and hung it right in the middle.
Her Christmas tree was filled with ribbon candy, garland with taffy, lollipops and anything I could get my hands on that was sweet! (Note: You may not want to include real candy as half of the garland was missing after a few weeks and little brother Bub was caught red handed on several occasions hiding out in Lou's room eating candy when no one was looking.) I topped the Christmas tree with the cardboard angel that hung on my parent's tree when I was a kid. I love her and she is blissful childhood memories wrapped up with fake hair and a pipe cleaner halo.
This is what the room looks like at night...
