Little Red Riding Hood

My kids currently are loving the Little Red Riding Hood story.  I am not a fan and try to avoid it.  I don't love that the woof eats Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma, and I don't love that Dad then comes along and slits open the woof's stomach.  Just a bit too blood thirsty for a 4 and a 6 year old I think.  However most of the old fairy tales are a little like that.  I must prefer the "Hoodwinked" tale of Little Red Riding Hood.

But these old fairy tales have some magic to them.  Last night I read Rip Van Winkle to them.  Re-reading all these old tales to my children I am left wondering what I found so magically about them because now in my infinite wisdom as an adult (God I am so boring now) I find them tedious and lacking in direction.  I have realised though that this is what I found so amazing as a child.  It is those holes in the story line that ignited my imagination.   And looking back Little Red Riding Hood was one of my favourites too.

But I think I might "lose" that book for now and maybe gain this little wallet for my daughter instead.

Wow, I just looked up google images of Little Red Riding Hood and have found they consist just about solely of Sexy Little Red Riding Hood costumes.  Nooooo

On further investigation I have managed to find some much sweeter Little Red Riding Hood products - take a look:

This lovely print from The Little Fox

Cute hair clips from Amelia Rose Photo Art

Or notepaper - such a novelty these days to receive a hand written note.

Take a Ride in my Beautiful Balloon

Never have I taken a ride in a balloon.


Not sure that I would like to, so I will stick with Balloon images.

The one of course is from Rabbit and The Duck.

So I dare say this little number is not in the Ready to Wear collection.   But it is a quirky way to use balloons and does present fashion as art.  

So for something a little more wearable....  I love a good t-shirt and this one is super cute.  From Steampunk.

Esbertscollection created this lovely cushion cover.  Beautiful colour and a very subtle image of a balloon. LOVE IT.


Happy flying

Gorgeous Glass Bonsai Pendants from JessicaLandau

How cute and funky are these little bonsai lamps.

Wall art is so popular now, and why not.  It is so nice not to have to put a hole in the wall every time you want to move a picture around.

For Our Next Rabbit and The Duck Wallet ...

Another new one :

Babushka Baby.  Babushka's hold a special place in my heart.  I still have a few bits of a Babushka doll my Dad bought me back from one of his trips when I was about 7.  It was actually still in tact until I introduced it to my daughter a few years back and over the past few years bits have broken and I think I am down to the head of a small one and the bottom of the large one.

Seeing this little wallet instantly brings back memories though.

The Rabbit and The Duck Wallet

This is a great little wallet, and I can vouch for this as both my daughter and myself own one.  I was just going to purchase for myself, but my little fashionista 6 year old decided she HAD to have one and that was her birthday wish.  We both use our wallets all the time.  My little girl for her various bits and pieces that she carries around, and I did use my wallet for the normal - card, cash and keys, but we have since lost our camera case, and it has been upgraded to a new funky case for our digital camera.

However it is the perfect wallet for those quick trips out to the park when you don't want to lug a big handbag around, but you still need the essentials.  So grab your keys, cards and coins and go with this handy wallet. Or a great size to securely hold your jewellery and accessories in your everyday bag or next time you travel!
