Description:
Who likes kawaii? Who likes fairy tales? I do, I do! We will be swapping favorite fairy tale-themed items. There are a lot of cute kawaii items out there that feature characters from childhood stories--bento boxes, stationery, sticker sacks, Hello Kitty in costume, etc. If you have a favorite story, please post in the comments below. Based on your partner's favorite story (or your own, if your partner doesn't have a preference) fill a box or envie with goodies. You can get creative and include things that relate to the story like white bunnies or tea cookies for Alice in Wonderland, apple-flavored lip gloss for Snow White, eye mask or lavender-scented items for Sleeping Beauty (thanks for those last two examples, @robotlove . No Disney on this swap. Plan to spend, before shipping, $10 min. or equivalent value for crafty chicas doing handmade items. I'm scheduling a long turnaround, so let's have fun with it!

This is such a cool idea! How fun! Well, I love all fairy tales but I do like Alice in Wonderland a lot :3

robotlove 07/21/2009 #

Yay! I can't wait for this swap to start! =D

My favorite story is Alice in Wonderland.

Woo! So excited about this one!

My favorite would have to be Little Red Riding Hood

gosh I'm morbid. lol

I am going to watch for now cause it is so hard to find items in Canada. Plus shipping is a fortune but if I can make some things and find a few as well then I might go ahead and join. It's a great swap idea though. :)

Here are all the fairy tales I grew up with:

I'll probably do Hansel & Gretel for this. Or the three little pigs:)

I'm watching for now because I really don't think I can afford this one atm. @mommyfelicia - will you be running it again at any point?

mommyfelicia 07/23/2009 #

@Jembogawa yes :D

There is actually a long turnaround on this swap, but if you can't swing it this time and would like to do it in the future, I'd be happy to run it again!

Jembogawa 07/24/2009 #

@mommyfelicia Ooohhh yay! I'll see if I can join this one but I doubt it :( would love to join the next one, I love fairytales! Thaaaannk youuu :)

I'm going to list my favourite three fairytales as a child. Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid, and Peter Pan.

robotlove 07/25/2009 #

Oh, I almost forgot to ask. You mentioned no Disney items but what about items inspired by how the stories are portrayed in the Disney movies? (i ask because Disney portrays it a little differently than in the actual book)

mommyfelicia 07/25/2009 #

@Robotlove -- yes, I think everyone is probably more familiar with the Disney versions anyway, so that's cool. :D

robotlove 07/27/2009 #

Hmm. I'm actually going to have to drop from this swap and take a short break from swapping for a bit.

@mommyfelicia I really hope you decide to host this again because I'd love to join this swap at a later date! =)

One of my favourite films is the 10th Kingdom and it deals with tons of fairy tales and nursery rhymes and the like :)

CalizonaDesigns 07/28/2009 #

YES! A no Disney- fairytale swap! THANK YOU! :) (just a little excited!)

SugarVixen 07/29/2009 #

@provadia ~ Hansel & Gretel was going to be my pick at first, then I remembered how much I was obsessed with lil' red as a child. lmao!

i want my partner! I'm way too excited to shop for this one!

I LOVE anything having to do with Alice in Wonderland! â˜º

TheJuiceBox 09/ 2/2009 #

I think that mine has gotten lost in the mail since it hasn't arrived yet :/ I am calling the post about it tomorrow (I need to get the slip I filled out from home) and will likely be re-sending another parcel this Saturday. Damn you postal service, damn you!!!

TheJuiceBox 09/ 3/2009 #

Wow, thanks awesome Canada Postal services. If a parcel seems to be lost, they will not do anything about it for 75 days. So...since I sent my packet on August 2, they won't do anything until mid-October. Tre-awesomesauce. I will get together a new packet and resend on Saturday. Sorry buddy :(
