“It´s a new dawn

It´s a new day

It´s a new life

For me

And I´m feeling good” ( lyrics Nina Simone )

…….

If you give a little love

you can get a little love of your own.

That is what we believe,

in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

We´re choosing kindness.

The Skating monkey always says:

-Kind people is da shit!

Sun is in the sky and we´re feeling good.

……..

Have a great week all of you

……..

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

……..

It´s late at night in The Vintage Fairy Tales,

but we are wide awake.

Joseph is frying chicken in the kitchen,

and Maria is busy in the bathroom testing a home made avocado hair mask

for her damaged and dull hair.

………

Have a great week all of you,

LOVE

// Becky

The bed and the doll are some of the stuff I made at the Julie Arkell winter course,

“For six long years I’ve been in trouble
No pleasure here on Earth I found
For in this world I’m bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now ” (traditional American folk song)

……….

No sorrows in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

The fact is that the fairy tale protagonist,

The Skating Monkey,

is happier than ever.

He will soon tell you why.

………..

The embellished clothing is an installation

made by artist Julie Arkell,

photographed at Les Soeurs Anglaises, France.

Have a GREAT week all of you and thank´s for visiting!

Love/

Becky

“Do you remember when we first met?
I sure do
It was some time
In early September
You were lazy about it
You made me wait around
I was so crazy about you
I didn’t mind
So I was late for class
I locked my bike to yours
It wasn’t hard to find
You painted flowers on
Guess that I was afraid
That if you rode away
You might not roll back
My direction real soon
Well I was crazy about you then
And now the craziest thing of all
Over 10 years have gone by
And you’re still mine
We’re locked in time
Let’s rewind “(lyrics Jack Johnson )

……….

Anniversary in The Vintage Fairy Tales,

and actually over twenty years have gone by.

Happy Happy weekend to all of you,

I´m heading off to the cottage now!
