That Is One Ugly Fairy
Posted by Missy W. @ 8:28 AM
I don’t mean to throw the poor designer of this abomination under the bus or anything, but really. I’m shocked that Pottery Barn even deemed it reasonable to put it that “fairy canopy” in their catolog. They don’t even list it online, so perhaps they’ve come to their senses? Is it just me or does it remind you of the old school Barbie-wearing-crocheted-hoop-skirt-to-cover-up-a-roll-of-toilet-paper? The hanging fairy is benign enough (in a completely creepy sort of benign way), but man sakes alive, that is one ticky-tacky bunch of netting. Yikes.
They only semi-redeemed themselves by having an R2D2 hybrid chair. Pottery Barn also has a new Barbie bedding line. I am thankful that Baby G shredded the catalog before Sy got her mitts on it. She is one Barbie FREAK.
I also see that PB Kids has lowered the price of the Catalina bed to $399.00 (lowered by $200.00). I guess the purveyors must feel the need to drastically slash prices after losing so many customers due to the Unfortunate Fairy Canopy Incident.

Hopefully someone will help. My 3 year old saw this fairy canopy in the PBK catalog and has been whining about it since. Is there another canopy for a fairy themed bedroom that anyone recommends? I agree I do not like this one from PBK either.
Thanks in advance!
