I love pansies.
I love their happy little faces.
Sadly so do the slugs.
Most of us will be familiar with this little flower fairy
But she is a million miles removed from The Pansy Fae! This fairy is a moody, stroppy cow
Here she is featuring on this precious little bag. Made by babastudioPrague and available on etsy for the insane price of only $21.
.
About their bag they say -
"Our bags are individually printed on satin and then made by hand individually, so that almost every one is slightly different. This one is backed in a vintage (1940s we think) brocade that has a lovely sheen to it. It's fully lined. All in all it feels unusual and delicate.
The image is based on the French Victorian illustrator JJ Grandville's "Les Fleurs". We actually took it direct from an 1847 first-edition hand-coloured engraving that we're lucky enough to own. It shows whimsical and rather melancholy Pansy-girl - with wings of course.
These bags are generously sized at a touch under 8inches by 6inches. They make lovely small storage bags or are simply beautiful for display. Double-cord fastening with Czech-made metallic gold cords and Czech glass beads. Fully lined"
About their bags I say -
"I want them all..."

ps - I'm sorry I tried to put up a link but it kept crashing.
Ooh, I love Babastudioprague's work- I was about to do a post on their 'fairy' bag but now you've posted on them...
The link to their Etsy shop is this one.

Dear Queen Marie
Of course you can and should post about the bed! It's the kind of bed I would absolutely insist on having in my dream house, if price was no object..and I shall do my own post about the bag :)
