In The Vintage Fairy Tales we like being creative,

it´s a lifeblood.

“The Hairless Mexican and his friend” are new members of our fabulous community.

The Hairless Mexican actually resembles my father,

although he is neither hairless or mexican.

(The secret is, THE MUSTACHE !!!)

…………..

The papier maché characters are made by me, with inspiration from Julie Arkell.

The “Pigfly” is now living with my dear friend and pen pal Helen in Yorkshire!

Love to all of you, new and old visitors!/

“You told me you was high class
But I can see through that
Yes, you told me you was high class
But I can see through that
And daddy I know
You ain’t no real cool cat” ( Lyrics Big Mama Thornton )

………….

In The Vintage Fairy Tales it´s the opposite.

We have cool, high class visitors.

Two “Devon Rex”, with impressing artistic interest and good taste are staying with us for a while.

When I came home the other day they did an in-depth study

of a Julie Arkell brooch.

…………….

The beautiful sculpture is made by Lisa Larson a Swedish ceramic artist.

Happy weekend/

Time passes.

I was just about to say hello to the autumn,

when it started to snow outside my window.

Santa, I still believe in you.

I still believe in a greenhouse where you can plant a universe in a home made basket.

………..

Have a great weekend all of you/

Becky

“What in the world am I gonna do tomorrow
is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle
Maybe its inside the bottle

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need hey hey
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me” (lyrics by Aloe Blacc )

…………

When we want some entertainment, in The Vintage Fairy Tales,

besides the afternoon tea, we watch the excellent HBO show “How to make it in America”.

I´m  secretly in love with the main characters, Ben and Cam.

These cool and good looking guys are determined to achieve

their version of the American dream by using their street

knowledge and connections to make their way up through

New York City’s fashion scene.

If  Ben and Cam ever want to visit the Vintage Fairy Tales,

I would be more than happy to introduce them to

The Skating Monkey who is a very streetwise guy

with lot of good and useful connections within the fashion industry.

A matter of fact is that The Skating Monkey runs his own reality show

“The Vintage Fairy Tales Next Top Models”.

Danielle Hanson, designer and illustrator,

is one of The Pantry Violets!

Pantry Violets are a group of women who met at a “Julie Arkell workshop”,

in the Dordogne in France.

Our friendship is very much alive and we continue to inspire each other!

………….

Danielle of Ragtales has opened up an Etsy shop,

go visit her!

Have a great week/

Becky

………….

In The Vintage Fairy Tales we care more about Suffolk Puffs than diamonds.

This is a “Suffolk Puff” extra ordinaire (prononciation française),

made by my very talented friend and artist Danielle!

In my next post I will show you more of her beautiful art.

Stay tuned!

Have a nice weekend/

Becky
