Candy Shop GRAND OPENING and RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY!

Yesterday was the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Kit 'n' Kaboodle A.R.T. Candy Shop. Officiating was none other than Kit Kittridge (pictured above). Among those in attendance were Molly McIntire and Samantha Parkington. Nellie O'Malley was unable to attend due to a recent unexpected trip to her grandpa's house (meaning, my dad needed to borrow her for scale).

You can see from the smile on her face, she feels like a Kit, I mean, a kid in a candy store! :)

The white furniture, including lollipop tree and store sign, was created by my brother and will soon be available in our ETSY shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/KitnKaboodleART)
with shipping in time for Christmas!

All of the goodies were created by my dad and me during our many late night conversations and are available in our ETSY shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/KitnKaboodleART) while supplies last!

This wall hanging was created using scrap booking papers and a frame found in a bin at Michael's craft store and matched the counter (my daughter's shave ice stand that started all of this) perfectly. I felt the need to display ALL of the rock candy lollipops because they are my absolute favorite item!

I had the little chevron baggies leftover from a previous project, and they looked great in a little basket (see picture below) my dad picked up at Hobby Lobby - sadly, there are none near me. The little pink candy scoop was another HL find from my dad and was located in the jewelry making section (another of my favorite hobbies).

A previous blog titled 'Candy Store Coming Soon!' includes some great close-ups of the treats in all of the containers.
So, there you have it...the whole Kit 'n' Kaboodle for our Candy Shop :)

Feel free to leave comments and suggestions. Hopefully this will inspire some of your own doll adventures!
