Fairytales & Adventure stories...

It would be difficult for me to decide wether I prefer a fairytale or a good book of adventures. But I think I like to find both combined in a single story.
When I was a little kid I liked all about princesses. Then I remember myself as an avid reader when I was a teenager, spending long hours completely immersed in books like Tom Sawyer, The Mysterious Island or some time traveling story.

Today I have just found some beautiful items that remind me of those stories.
Here I present you...

Ball Gown by Stitch Princess

What a great dress for a dance with a Prince!

Vintage copper tea pot made in Portugal from Redemption Art

I feel like being in a cozy little cottage in the woods... with Snow White :)

Steampunk Time Machine Pendant by Poison Garden

The real adventurous heart of mine awakes at the sight of this intricate piece of art [sigh...]

Ahhh... how wonderful all those stories from childhood were... I feel happy tonight with memories of past times. Thank you, my team fellows, for showing your talent in such an inspiring way!

Feeling... blue.

As a non-english native speaker I always wonder about the meaning of the expression "feeling blue". Is it because blue is associated to sadness? I think that cannot be the explanation, because blue, in all of its shades, is such a beautiful color and has no relation -at least for me- with anything but wealth, luxury, relax...

What do you think about blue? Tell me, I´d love to know :)

Meanwhile, let´s check what blues I have found in these amazing shops!

From Ms Formaldehyde, this attractive Fascinator in 1920s style

Found at Redemption Art´s shop, this lovely Fenton Christmas Plate Hand Painted by Lisa W

From Orange Windmill, this modern Leather Journal, Embossed Turquoise, Hand-Bound 4.5 x 6 Journal

And from GMaEllenCrochetGifts´s shop, this beautiful Seed bead, Preciosa Czech glass, transparent rainbow teal ready to be used for your next favorite project :)
