Your fairy godmother is a very lucky person to receive that beautiful pumpkin bowl for her birthday. And the bowl, even as a carriage, has a far smaller carbon footprint than a car.
ReplyDeleteSue, they forgot to say what the fairy godmother got out of the transaction. A guess a glow's nice, but maybe she'd have like to be remembered with something more concrete?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sue, your fairy godmother is very lucky. When I saw the first photograph I thought it was a real carved-out pumpkin with soup inside!
ReplyDeleteWe also have no car although on occasions we hire one. AGA is like you and doesn't have a license. He doesn't have a mobile phone either. I on the other hand have both. Upon our return to the Great Southern Land we will purchase one with which to high tally it over the countryside in search of modern fairytale adventures but I would gladly swap it for a pumpkin coach and four
You might be right Kirk, a coach and four would be a bit of an improvement on a pumpkin!
DeleteI was surprised to find this - and it doesn't seem to have ever been used - the work of someone with sensitive hands, not just someone pottering about.
I'm sure your tour down under will be great fun to read!
I love the color of the pumpkin tureen...very trendy. I can think of so many uses. Great find!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie. Yes, the colour's true to life - more more-grey than green. It's huge, really. You'd need a table-ful of people to polish off its contents!
DeleteThat's why I like you Faisal
ReplyDeleteWho needs a car when they have a pumpkin.
love from a foggy saturday morning up north
Soon, Demie, I'm going to miss the fog. Days are getting warmer here; before we know it the sun will be scorching.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, my life has always seemed to be like a piece of theatre, just a little bit removed from normal life. Did I choose it? I don't know. It's sort of fun, sort of scary, sort of soft. I have much to smile about.
You, of course, in your snowscape, live in the heart of fairy tales. I wonder what stories you will have for us?
"It's sort of fun, sort of scary, sort of soft".
DeleteI really loved this sentence Faisal
I could make a fairytale of this ;)
What a ripper!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Sir Wigandia!
ReplyDeletethis is fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
