A little about the direction of our shop, we are vintage clothing, as well as accessories, t-shirts we designed ourselves, and clothing that has been made a piece of art (pic related).

Television production company Hallmark have made a number of successful adaptations of Fairy Tales.
Here is another version of Snow White which proves that it’s all about the Step-mother!

Dear Blogsprites,
I cannot recommend this film highly enough, it’s an absolute favourite!
Charlize Theron certainly has her work cut out attempting to out-wicked Sigourney Weaver!

I recognised this image from a glimpse of the top third but I have never seen a version by this artist. It’s wonderful. More brilliant stuff from The Warden’s Walk.

A lovely film. Thanks to The Warden’s Walk for reminding of it. xx
Title:The Secret of Kells (2010) IMDb
Director: Tomm Moore (yes, two M’s)
Voice Actors: Evan McGuire, Christen Mooney, Brendan Gleeson, Mick Lally
Score Composer: Bruno Coulais
Length: 75 minutes
Rating (US): No MPAA rating; suitable for older children, but beware of a few very intense, scary sequences, including an implied slaughter of village folk
Spoiler-free Synopsis: In the Irish monastic community at Kells, young Brendan dreams of becoming a master illuminator, but is frustrated by his Abbot’s obsession with fortifying against the Vikings over book-keeping. Brendan’s hopes are raised when a kooky old monk (and master illuminator!) arrives in Kells with a beautiful and unfinished Bible. In order to help with the book and learn illumination, Brendan must venture outside the walls of Kells, where he meets Aisling, the Fair Folk spirit of the forest. Unfortunately, the Vikings aren’t far behind…
Reason for Watching: It was this movie’s Oscar…

After throwing myself enthusiastically (if rather haphazardly) into the deep-end of the Blogpool I am thrilled to find myself swimming… without arm-bands!
I would like to say a huge thank you to Morgan Mussel of The First Gates for presenting me with The Versatile Blogger Award. Please click on his name to link to a wonderful website.
I am getting to grips with my responsibilities as an award winner so more on this soon!
I think this is the moment where I curtsey and shuffle off stage left 😉

Few Fairy Tales are as dark and multifaceted as Little Red’s.
Angela Carter wrote the screenplay for Neil Jordan’s lush and evocative adaptation of Carter’s own collected short writings and radio plays.
This wonderful fan trailer for The Company of Wolves is by the talented Hedge Labyrinth with music from the Requiem For A Dream soundtrack.
Thank heaven for little girls, they grow up in the most peculiar ways …
