Fada Moranga loves canopies!

A tent canopy is a perfect hideaway for dreaming, reading, or playing house!

It is the perfect place for little knights and princesses to hold court.

A magical retreat in which to find peace and quiet!

Fada Moranga loves Thumbelina!

Thumbelina

A translation of Hans Christian Andersen's "Tommelise" by Jean Hersholt.

There once was a woman who wanted so very much to have a tiny little child, but she did not know where to find one. So she went to an old witch, and she said:

"I have set my heart upon having a tiny little child. Please could you tell me where I can find one?"

"Why, that's easily done," said the witch. "Here's a grain of barley for you, but it isn't at all the sort of barley that farmers grow in their fields or that the chickens get to eat. Put it in a flower pot and you'll see what you shall see."

Fada Moranga loves Little Odd Forest!

“Lynda Lye has been inspired by the wonderful childhood fantasies of bizarre fairytale adventure stories set in magical forests, resplendent with quirky images and wonderful illustrations of talking monsters, animals and trees. She still has all these storybooks from childhood, thanks to her dad, an avid oil painter/artist, who began reading incredible tales to her when she was still a foetus. It is no surprise that she has always felt she belongs to another world of enchanted forests, filled with magical animals and imaginary creatures, after being fed with (too much) bizarre fairytales as a child and thus take inspiration from the world created in her head.”

A Pink Velvet Christmas!

One day I fell in love with this girl... Velvet!

I also fell in love with her pink blanket...

So Corinne, Velvet’s mommy decided to make me a pillow!

Velvet and Corinne’s Love Story

“I live in London, Ontario. I have a lovely whippet named Velvet Undergrad III. She was given to me from a breeder at an annual dog show in 1997! I believe I was in the right place at the right time. I truly adore the whippet as a pet. I really wanted to have a greyhound, but when I saw the smaller sized sighthound packaged as a whippet...I just could not resist.

In Feb 2005 my whippet Velvet suffered a (multi-focal) Fibro- Cartilagenous Embolism Stroke. When it happened she fell down stairs and could not even move. Her left side was affected; hemi-paresis. Temporarily though!! We were both traumatized by her inability to get up and walk in the very beginning. I rehabilitated her almost non-stop for the next 7 dys. She was shaky & weak, but standing; taking baby steps by the 5th day. She could walk again by 2 wks time. The veterinarian said that Velvet made an amazing recovery, and that most dog owners would have euthan...oh heck, I can't even say that word!

Velvet is no longer able to run really fast like she was used to, she looses her footing. Plus, she has to think of placing her front left paw down for each step she takes. It's kind of sad in a way because she has lost most of her muscle tone and that is why she looks very thin now. Some people think I do not feed her, however, that is clearly the wrong impression because they do not know her health story.I understand the affects of a stroke and how it makes one weak, whether they be a human or dog. Even as a slightly disabled whippet, I still have her with me to love and take care of. Isn't that just the best?”

Meet Aesop's Theatre!

Aesop＇s traditional fables get a fun, fresh contemporary treatment in this series about a playwright wolf named Aesop. He is a genius artist who is misunderstood. However, he is the leader of Aesop's Theatre, a screenwriter and an actor and puts up productions for his theatre troop with a fox, four pigs and a rabbit. He is hot-tempered but basically he is soft and warm-hearted.
