Thumbelina walnut shell

Thought I'd do this quickly while listening to Bolero on Classic FM.  If you google Thumbelina walnut shell, as I was inspired to do by Lady Jayne and the Floosie, you get myriad images and info.  Here's a couple of my favourites.



Thumbelina slept in a polished walnut shell with violet petals for her mattress and a rose leaf as her coverlet, though lots of images show a rose petal as her cover. Lovely.

  1. I do love the succulent shot - now to find a walnut shell.
    I remember we put cotton wool in a walnut shell and one of those tiny plastic dolls after we had read Thumbelina. Aahh ... memories. FF
