The Princess and the Pea

 
The little princess
had an awful night,
she tossed and turned
from left to right.

But tonight she
will sleep at ease -
she made the prince promise
to use mushy peas.

    Oh, this is darling, Amalia. All those wee blankets, and that little tin for a bed as well. I used to love those little tins when I was a kid. I could imagine using them for so many things........and the Band Aid tins. ; )

    Have a sweet June week.

    I found this story quite disturbing when I was a kid, I think it was the "delicate princess" narrative that just felt a bit off. I wasn't even a little bit delicate as a child :-D
    However I think your little princess with her comfy bed in a tin is super cute and your poem made me laugh out loud!

    This is delightful Amalia :-) When I was a little girl I had a tiny doll that fitted in a matchbox. I made it into a bed for her, with sheets and a pillow.

    A very sweet display of this fairytale! It always fascinated me as a child as to how she would feel that pea under so many mattresses ;) Thank you for your birthday wishes!

    Hello dear Amalia,
    and sorry for getting back to you so late. I currently have several projects that keep me busy and I rarely blog. But today I manage at least a few blog visits.
    So adorable, your little princess bed arrangement and your poem to go with it. The idea of using mushy peas for the princess is awesome 😍
    All the best from Austria, Traude

    I do love this so much! Maybe especially because RH always fusses at me for thinking I am this persnickety princess.
