I think I'm directly responsible for this particular family tradition at Struan Farm. I started it by stashing a supply of jelly beans in a felted gingerbread house in the dining room of the Homestead, offering up two-three jelly beans to those children who had finished their dinners. At this point it's become a game, they come and check to make sure the stash is still there, and then patiently (or not so patiently, Livy?!) wait to get to the end of dinner.
And so when it came to making a table for the tree hut, I was thrilled to come across vinyl printed with none other than: JELLY BEANS!
We scored a wooden reel from our electrician, the sort of thing used for electrical wire or cable. As soon as I saw it I knew this could be recycled/repurposed into a cute little table for our tree hut at the farm. Of course it's been painted bright blue:
And here's the finished product--pretty cute, eh?
