Lovely things in the post...

I get very excited when lovely things arrive in the post. A few days ago Su Mwamba from Enchanted Times sent me these...


The pictures really don't do these fairy tale newspapers justice. The attention to detail is wonderful, contents include articles like 'Baba Yaga still at large', a supplement on contemporary fairy tale literature, patterns and small ads, and each issue comes with a free gift, like an enchanted needle and thread or pre-enchanted nettle yarn. Su has an Etsy shop and you can find out more about Enchanted Times and read some content online here.

And then yesterday this arrived:


The Wychwood Fairies is the first book by Faye Durston, a good friend who is responsible for the fantastic art direction on Issue 5 of New Fairy Tales, the beautiful picture on our homepage and the banner on this blog.

This is like the Jolly Postman for lovers of stunning illustration and all things faerie—envelopes have letters in them, bits pull out, fairies pop-up. It is a beautiful thing. Again the pictures don't do it justice, you have to have it in your hands to appreciate how good it is.

And look, can you spot the New Fairy Tales picture anywhere?

And if I haven't tempted you enough yet, maybe this will...

  7. Herpes get cured through Herbal medicines. I specialize in treating all kinds of infections diseases andusing natural herbs and roots, with a major focus on (STDs). I have an effective herbal cure for Herpes (HSV)! I have successfully treated over 165 patients suffering from Herpes (HSV 1 & 2), and I’m happy to report that all of them were cured. My herbal medicine is 100% safe with no side effects, and you can start seeing clear results in as little as 7 days.

    In addition to Herpes, I also treat other infections, including Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and more. My herbal remedies can also help with conditions such as Diabetes, Leukemia, Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Autism, insomnia (for better sleep), Fibroids, Infertility, Obesity, Alzheimer’s, and other serious infections. My herbal treatment for obesity is particularly effective, allowing you to lose up to 10KG in just 21 days!

    If you’ve been using conventional medicine for your Herpes infection without success, why not try herbal medicine and experience the difference for yourself?
