Princess Lessons ~ Honour
2008-02-05 10:11:00 Honour is another virtue of a Princess , though it is more often associated with Knights and Princes. Honour is something that almost seems to be lost in our modern culture, where personal gain is often valued over keeping one’s word and promises can be broken if the price is not too high. Sometimes I think ... More About: Lessons

Princess Lessons ~ Waiting for Prince Charming
2008-01-30 09:38:00 This is not a lesson as such, because I think love is something you can only learn from experience, but as Saint Valentine’s Day is but a few weeks away I thought I would record my thoughts on the subject of romance, scattered as they are. To be in love is a feeling like nothing else, ... More About: Princess , Prince , Lessons , Waiting , Prince Charming
Princess Lessons ~ Healthy Living
2008-01-29 10:05:00 This might not seem like a very Princess -ly topic, but I think it’s really important.

Inspirations ~ The Secret Garden
2008-01-22 11:21:00 At the moment I am re-reading the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is probably my second favourite tale of hers, after A Little Princess and starts off in a very similar way. Young Mary Lennox is forced to leave India after a cholera epidemic and she goes to stay in Misselthwaite Manor. ... More About: The Secret , Secret Garden
Carousel ~ Doll Houses
2008-01-21 13:04:00 I love doll houses and miniatures. Apart from the undisputed fact that a tiny version of something is always infinitely cuter, I think Doll Houses offer a way to indulge in a fondness for period decor and luxurious old homes even if one can’t have a life size manor. I had a little Victorian doll’s ... More About: Carousel

Inspirations ~ Arete Hime
2008-01-20 10:03:00 This afternoon I had the pleasure of watching a rare gem of a film, Studio 4C’s Arete Hime (or Arīte Hime.)

Princess Lesson ~ Grace
2008-01-16 07:23:00 Of all the virtues commonly attributed to Princess es, I believe one of the most misunderstood is Grace . When many of us think of being Graceful, we see this as a merely physical thing. To walk lightly, have elegant mannerisms and never tread on anyones toes. Gracefulness of this kind is of course admirable but I ... More About: Lesson
