As a matter of fact it is easier to find a new handbag than turn a frog into a prince

...She looked round to the side from whence the voice came, and saw a frog stretching forth its big, ugly head from the water. "Ah, old water-splasher, is it you," she said, "I am weeping for my golden ball, which has fallen into the well." "Be quiet, and do not weep," answered the frog, "I can help you, but what will you give me if I bring your plaything up again?" "Whatever you will have, dear frog," said she, "My clothes, my pearls and jewels, and even the golden crown which I am wearing." The frog answered, "I do not care for your clothes, your pearls and jewels, nor for your golden crown, but if you will love me and let me be your companion and play-fellow, and sit by you at your little table, and eat off your little golden plate, and drink out of your little cup, and sleep in your little bed - if you will promise me this I will go down below, and bring you your golden ball up again."

Actually I think I look better than expected with that blonde wig!

Novelty Folklore Love - Trying to distract myself with color

Hello everyone,

I struck gold with this vintage novelty skirt featuring some traditional black forrest scenery and can´t wait until it arrives! I am so going to rock this with my sheer black blouse!


And it makes me think "Gosh I need to start to sew some of my own things again!!!" A sewing project would be just the right thing to distract me from beeing miserable. If only I would find the energy to get started and order something :-(

I have a few candidates I would like to sew up to some cute and different clothes...

Light Blue Russian Doll print

Hänsel und Gretel-esque fabric! How 

do non-Germans actually call this 

Grimm Brothers fairy tale? 

The one with the Gingerbread House.

Swedish Dala Horse. However this is 

like25 € per meter, yet how amazing 

would it be to wear this during my 

next Sweden vacation??? Swedish 

Blog Readers: I know you exist. 

Point me into a cheaper direction!

I call it "Let´s slam every folklore 

theme into one fabric plus windmills". 

Sadly I found only one meter avail-

able. Too little to make a dress or skirt!
