“There’s no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together” ( lyrics Jack Johnson )

……………..

There is confusion in The Vintage Fairytale world,

a good friend has gone astray and can not be found anywhere.

Hopefully she will turn up right on time for the afternoon tea.

Love /

Becky

“Everyone is trying to get to the bar.

The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.

The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.

They play it once again, they play it all night long.

When this kiss is over it will start again.

It will not be any different, it will be exactly

the same.

It’s hard to imagine that nothing at all

could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.” (Lyrics Talking Heads )

……………….

In The Vintage Fairy Tales there are all sorts of nice guys.

I guess you know by now that I´m married to the Skating Monkey,

so I just need to focus on him.

How about the rest of you,

what type of romance do you prefer?

Is heaven a place where nothing ever happens?

If you were the girl in The Vintage Fairy Tales who would be the lucky boy,

who would you invite for the afternoon tea?

Let me know !

“Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it’s all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it’s all right” ( lyrics, The Beatles )

………….

Yesterday was the first day we sat on the veranda,

the warm sun in our smiling faces.

You and me little darling.

Have a Great Sunday/

Becky

…………….

Well I’d rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won’t know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That’s the end’a little girl ( Songwriters: McCartney, Paul; Lennon, John )

…………

No need for a woman to run in The Vintage Fairy Tales,

there is always a ginger lemonade to get the dude to calm down.

Mrs. Hedgiewidgi, the head of the doll,

was a gift from my lovely friend and favourite storyteller, Linda in New Mexico.

Thank you Linda, you are the best!

Thank´s to everyone for the lovely comments on my cup cake post last week!

Have a great weekend/ Love / Becky

In The Vintage Fairy Tales we don´t take life too seriously.

We take one day at a time.

We don´t care much about politics and religion and we are not terribly worried about

global warming.

We find life quite easy and comfortable.

The only thing we really care about and take very seriously is what kind of delicious pastry

we will be served for the afternoon tea.

When the delightful ladies of “Hardaker & Pope” announced a CUP CAKE COMPETITION

on their blog,

my friends in the Vintage Fairy Tales became very enthusiastic and firmly declared that this

was definitely their branch of sport.

We discussed the topic “cup cakes” for a while and decided that we wanted something festive.

The Skating Monkey came up with the brilliant idea that an amusement park

with cup cakes would be kind of nice.

The rest is history.

We won the competition and the cup cakes are eaten.

Life is back to normal again in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

Let´s share a nice beetroot cake with saffron glaze.

It´s Friday in The Vintage Fairy Tales,

Let me tell you one thing,

in The Vintage Fairy Tales there are no lonely hearts.

We have no bad hair days and the hamster is sleeping at night.

Happy Valentine´s day

Happy days in the Vintage Fairy Tales!

A great little package arrived with First Class International snail the other day.

It was from the Mother of Fairy Tale Pottery, Julie Whitmore.

She sent me the most beautiful necklace to wear among my friends in the fairy tales.

Thank you!

My friend here “Mr. Sad Shadow” thought it was for him,

a talisman that would bring him luck.

I had to buy him some flowers instead.

We have no snow in The Vintage Fairy Tales,

just a polka dotted watering can hanging in the apple tree.

If you ask my friends about snowflakes,

they will shake their heads and reply that the only flakes they have ever heard about

are cornflakes.

………….

Have a great week all of you and thank´s for all your lovely comments!

Becky
