I heart 3D elements. The safari hat is a great touch!
How lucky are her students to have this great spot for reading? Granted my one year of French back in 7th grade didn’t exactly render me fluent, but I’m pretty sure that Hutte translates to hut. 🙂
It’s amazing how something as simple as adding a little raffia skirt to a plant can make such a big impact. Looks great!
