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 Soop!


Soop is a London based design studio headed by top chef Wai-Lian Scannell in London, UK. She's forever rustling up new recipes in the Soop kitchen.

You can use your imagination to put an entire wilderness in the palm of your hands … or at least the base of their fingers. Wear your favourite animal or create your very own finger farm or enchanted forest.

You can get them here in Soop's Etsy shop and further taste what they have to offer by logging onto the Soop website: soop-group.com.

Soop also designs and creates ceramic tableware and other homeware products...all with a sprinkling of charm and quirkiness. Bon appetit!
