a Dear Friend from The Pantry Violets.

As always, we are teacher´s pets.

Lucky rabbits!

Do you remember last year´s workshop?

Some people say that we are not rappers. We´re rappers.

………..

This year we had a task, to dress a rabbit.

The Skating Monkey was of course present,

he was like a self-proclaimed designer (Jean Paul Gaultier )

who oversaw the entire process.

He hides secretly in a pocket somewhere.

………..

Thank´s for all your support and lovely comments!

Tick Tock People, Time´s Tickin´Away

admin — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:41:46 +0000

“One night while sleeping in my bed
I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together
On the same wavelength
And began helping one another
Now in this dream universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way

The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin’ down

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time’s tickin’ away
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time’s tickin’ away ” (lyrics by Stevie Ray Vaughan)

…………..

Well The Vintage Fairy Tales is universal love,

and best of all,

if we don´t use hearing aid,

we´re not disturbed by TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK !

…………

I´m back from the “Julie Arkell workshop” in France….

I have many lovely photos to show.

Stay tuned!

Love/Becky

I´m On The Road Again

” Well, I’m so tired of crying, but I’m out
on the road again.
- I’m on the road again.” (lyrics, Canned Heat)

……..

Friends,

there will be no crying in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

There is simply no time for that.

I´m on my way to France for another lovely workshop with my favourite

mixed media artist Julie Arkell.

BUT, first of all I will meet some dear friends in Paris!

See you soon again/

Becky

I´m A Man Of Constant Sorrow, I´ve Seen Trouble All My Days

admin — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:14:07 +0000

“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

Knock, Knock Knocking On Heavens Door

…………

In The Vintage Fairy Tale´s heaven,

we have daily naps, glossy magazines and no bad hair days.

If you want to play football in the rose garden,

you´ll have to go somewhere else though.

……….

Thank´s to my Dear Friend Jone Hallmark, who has made the beautiful mushroom,

and who even taught me how to do one myself.

What about the snail then?

Well, he is just another friend of mine.

………..

Love to all of you and thank´s for stopping by/
