Sugar In Your Tea

When I was a little girl I desperately wanted to be Thumbelina (although I think I prefer the Danish name, Tommelise) . I loved the story, and would read it over and over imagining what it would be like to be that tiny, and what an adventure living in my house would be if I could fit in the cupboards. This lovely print from Bespoke Press brought all those memories flooding back! Can you see the little person napping in the teacup? I think it would be so sweet hanging in a nursery, a perfect reminder of the wonders of being little, but for now I would love to have it next to my teacups in the kitchen.

    Absolutely beautiful. I was also pretty enamored with Thumbelina when I was little, and you’re right, these prints capture her perfectly!

    This is beautiful. I always wanted to be Cinderella — and believe me, the way I’d clean, you’d think I was.

    Would be perfect in a kitchen or a nursery.
