Fairy Magic, TWO New Vanities
Filed under Art Projects, Bella Ayers, Giveaways, Miniatures, Newsletters, Sale
Oh! I love the Fairy Magic Vanity that Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (Kim Ayers) made with the new Matchbox Vanity Table! (A 1:12 scale vanity made to use 6 Diamond brand matchboxes as the drawers… and there’s a related version for narrow matchboxes that’s new today, too!)
From the story on Bella’s blog post:
There’s an eccentric fairy who lives down the lane up around the fallen oak tree through the briars behind the mounds of moss between the rosemary bushes next to the stinging nettles on the island of Dunklebrook. Her name is Emdiella Humfridas and she is known for collecting odd items, shiny objects, old magical books and goblin whiskers, amongst other things.
This is her workstation and since it is so clean, I can only assume that there is company coming over to visit.
Edmeilla loves moss, roses, books and an assortment of her favorite ingredients that are right within reach.
When Emdiella knows that company is coming over she rushes around trying to clean everything up. Good thing her worktable has a secret compartment, it makes it so much easier to just throw everything in there lickety-split! (Psst! Check down in the Giveaway section for a photo with this compartment open.) Bottles, labels, Fairy Tea, pens, pencils, paper, stray ingredients, whiskerless goblins. Whatever fits usually gets thrown in there. Regardless of her less than stellar housekeeping skills, Emdiella is a very gracious hostess. Unless of course, you happen to make her angry…
Uh oh… better read more on Bella’s blog post. Plus she’s got some tips on how she colored the vanity and the jewelry box and trims.
Curious about some item you see in Bella’s creation? Check out her supply list! And don’t forget to enter the Giveaway to win lots of the supplies used!
NEW FREE Gift Kit!
Starter Kit for Matchbox Vanities (a mini drawer-fronts collage sheet plus a filigree set for the front of the vanity)!
Maybe you don’t have the time to make a paperclay embellishment like Bella used on the front of her vanity… that’s ok as I photographed a couple metal filigree options!
The brass filigree set at right is included in this FREE gift kit (and another option that fits nicely is shown on the Narrow Matchbox Vanity Table page). I’ve included some of the images from both the Matchbox Drawer Fronts Collage Sheet and Narrow Matchbox Drawer Fronts Collage Sheet so this can be used for either Vanity Table (and the filigree will fit either, too).
Free for ALL orders — through Monday night, July 31st (2017)!
Hooray for the Matchbox Vanity Giveaway!
I had to include another photo to show the top of the vanity open (and what an array of bottles Emdiella has hidden in there)!

I would love to make this for my fairy. I would put a mirror in it and put the roses in a vase.
Oh, secret places to hide things away from prying eyes. A fairy would love this.
I would make a witches vanity, I loved the fairy vanity. I can’t believe that Alpha stamps is from Martinez Cal. I grew up there but now I’m in Iowa of all places lol. I would also use paper clay , i love working with it. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’d make a craft station and the drawers would hold tiny crafting supplies!
I “collect” Darling Clandestine perfumes, the ones I love are the itty, bitty dram bottles, that love to play hide and seek. I have been looking for a magical place to store/display them and I think this might just be my answer!
I would make a vanity fit for a fairy queen!
This set offers so many possibilities; I will have to ponder what I would do with it.
I think a little sewing fairy would love to organize all her notions, patterns and miniature fat quarters in this little cabinet. She would be better organized than me!
I would make a potions vanity of the wicked witch! too cute!!!
How about a specimen work station for butterfly collector
I would so like to add this vanity table to my house! I’d paint it purple with green and black accents or else orange with black accents! So cute!
I love this fairy magic vanity table! I would do something similar or make a Witch themed one.
Everybody loves secrets in drawers! I’m thinking a love lorn fairy stash of potions , charms & love letters
I love fairys and love some of the ideas here. I think this should be the fairy Queens vanity with lots of glitter gems and sparklies.
I’ll have two labels already printed before the Matchbox Vanity arrives. I have a collection of Gnome Whiskers from resident Gnomes and I see there’s a tiny glass bottle labeled Fairy Farts that will be a conversation piece. I’ll be waiting near the mailbox.
I love all thing miniature, especially fairy. I would make a vanity similar to this one but lavender. Love your site and find myself ordering often. Barb
So pretty and adorable! I’d do a cross between Halloween and evil fairy table.
I LOVE this matchbox vanity! I think one similar to the fairy vanity but put my own spin on it. It’s so cute!
This will make the perfect dresser to go with my witches bedroom, it will pair well with the bed that has a spiderweb headboard.
I think a full-on Hollywood glam vanity would be so pretty, and the perfect gift for anyone girly and into makeup…
I’m not sure yet about the overall theme, but there would be a tiny book in each drawer.
I have been making my own matchbox cabinets for several years. This is certainly easier than cutting foam board and glueing everything together! I will be ordering some of these! I use them for Valentine gift boxes and to send inspiring notes. Everyone loves these as a gift.
I’d make a mermaid vanity.
I loved watching Downton Abbey. I think I would create a 1900’s vanity suitable for Lady Mary.
I see a witch’s dressing table!
From the Matchbox Vanity, I would make an apothecary table, on the scary halloweeny side, maybe with spiders and webs, dusty bottles.
I would make a chest as a keepsake for my grand daughter.
I think a magic dresser and gear it to the Harry Potter stories. My granddaughter is so in love with Harry Potter and loved visiting Universal Studios in Florida. She would be so excited to receive a Harry Potter themed gift.
What a delightful project! So clever! THink I would make something for my granddaughter!
Adorable. I’d make a witches wardrobe with all kinds of potions and maybe some dead things in the drawers.
I think I would make this a regular vanity to put in a ladies’ bedroom with the jewelry box and vanity items! Maybe clothes hanging out the drawers!
A place for my earrings
I would love to make a potion or herb cabinet for my haunted house!
I love the vanity and all the tiny bottles. I’m hoping to make a CSI type lab/vanity from the days of Jack the Ripper. Can’t wait.
…an art supply chest!
My Christmas fairy would love a place to hide all her secrets.
Love the fairy vanity but would probably first make a witch’s vanity….
I will make a jewelry chest, in which I’ll keep some of my favorite jewelry. I’ll use some of the bottles on top, with glitter inside, and with labels that say things like “diamond dust” and “gold dust.”
A 1940’s vanity.
I would make a vanity filled with Voodoo dolls. LOL
I love the vanity I would definitely do something with a fairy theme.
I want to make a fairy vanity identical to this one. It’s absolutely adorable!
Since Halloween is my favorite time of year, I think I would make something for a witch. She could have wart remover and wrinkle cream, etc. Love this!
Really cute project. Love the matchbox drawers. I would make something gothic. >^..^<
So cute!! I would make it into a little girls dress-up vanity for a room in my doll house. So many great ideas!
It’s like you’ve been reading my mind! I’m making a magical miniature perfume shop of the same order.
Looks like a fun project! I’d use the little drawers to store buttons and decorate it with some sewing items!
I would do a fairy vanity.
I am going to make a vanity that you would see in a teenagers room….this reminds me of one I had of a girl…ohhh the memories…this is just darling
a potion/apothecary but whether it would be for a faery or a witch I am not sure yet. I also thought it would make a cute chest for the faeries seamstress to keep her trims and buttons and other items in. I am fairly sure the seamstress would be a prim little hedgehog lady hahaha. Actually I do think that is what I would make. I absolutely love that vanity!
I think I would try and put a piece of “mirror” in the opening at the top and then make miniature underwear and such to put in the drawers. I used to costume 1/12th scale dolls (just getting back into that) and have a pattern and some know-how on mini underwear!
That is too cute! I’d make something similar to this only in pinks! Thanks for the chance and congrats to Rebecca!
Very sweet, love the vanity. Mine would have to be for a very special fairy.
I would make a travel case for a lady leaving on safari. What a fun give away. Thanks for the inspiration.
