Once upon a time, orange pumpkins were touched by a magical godmother, who transformed the gourds into pale, whimsical pumpkins with a natural vintage patina. While the fairy godmother had already completed her duty for her famed goddaughter, Cindy, she still had plenty of magic to share.
Just in case another poverty-stricken goddaughter needed to be transformed into a princess for just one night (we are, after all, in a recession), the godmother readied her collection of pumpkins. To expedite the transformation from pumpkin to carriage, she repurposed her Victorian-inspired orchid magnifier into a ready frame for a royal carriage.
But the fairy godmother’s work is not done! After all, she is all about preemptive planning. What’s next for this fall fairytale? Tune in tomorrow, as this story is to be continued….

I have never heard of or seen an orchid magnifier before, but I love it! Those Victorians certainly had an appreciation for the study of all things natural.

Love, love, love it! I just read this to my five year old son (don’t laugh, but he loves the Cinderella story ~ and he’s all boy) for his bedtime story! We will be at story time tomorrow.
