I loved it but it started to get a little beat up from all the moving around. When Margaret said we could show off our wardrobes this month I thought about changing it somehow. Then I saw my friend Marfi's gorgeous cabinet and the room she made for her gypsy doll and I was absolutely inspired.
I remembered this mini trunk that my son and I usually use for our Harry Potter events. It reminded me of the old steamer trunks people would take on travels to exotic places. It was just the right size so I turned it on it's side...
I brought over the mirror from my shoebox and also made a little chair to go with the other mirror. The black and white wallpaper and chair cover are Halloween napkins left from my tea party and the chandelier is one of my earrings that I added more dangly bits too. The lace trim valances are hanging from dowels with jump rings like cafe curtains.
My 2 October dresses finally got proper hangers and joined the others.
Silly me. I squeezed in all the other dresses but forgot to turn them around so only the October dresses were facing the right way. Oh well.
And here is my November dress. November to me is about the quiet comfort of late Autumn. After the excitement of October I can just enjoy the colors and leaves, listen to classical music and finally begin to bring some of my fuzzy sweaters and scarves out of hiding.
I had so much fun making my little wardrobe. Afterwards I couldn't help studying it and thinking how I'd love a full sized one to play in lol! I think this dress is also one of my favorites. And now we have just one dress left to go.
Big thank yous go to Linda who sent me the lovely laminated leaves, Angelique for the beautiful laces, paper flowers and vintage sheet music, Marfi for the awesome mirror frame. And Melinda, one of my Great ATC Witch Swaps for the colorful yarn.

Your dress is beautiful, really captures the essence of the season.
Your wardrobe however, totally steals the show - WOW, it's gorgeous!!! You have done such a wonderful job of decorating the inside, all that detail - it also has a touch of magic about it too - with the Harry Potter connection!
They are very pretty.
Early this morning it was snowing and I felt like going to a church sale in a neighbouring town and see all of the lovely creations being offered for sale but I opted to keep hubby home to relax for a change and instead I got my inspiration from Frosted Petunias. Gorgeous work Anna...Love it!

First of all, your blog header is beautiful!! The wardrobe is so magica, I'm with you, I would love one my size as well. And your November dress makes me think of a fireplace and cuddling. Lovely!
Your dress is gorgeous. I love the colors of fall, which fit your gown perfectly. Your wardrob is too cool! I'd love to have one full size just like it? Who wouldn't want a chandelier in their closet???

I swear I don't know how I missed your dress and steamer trunk wardrobe. This has got to be the most elaborate cabinet I have seen. The details are superb, right down to the chandelier. And of course, that dress is beautiful, too. I love the colors that are so perfect for autumn.
Just stunned by your incredible trunk wardrobe - it's amazing ! And your dress evokes all those wonderful fall touches.
Oh I love your wardrobe!!! It's fabulous! I started decorating mine, but never got it finished. I really need to do that and finish my dresses, I hate to leave things unfinished...
