Not all wolves are big and bad,


Illustration by Les Gray

from Little Red Riding Hood

vintage Little Golden Book, published in 1972.

(and I'd kill Grandma too, for lashes like that!) * 


sometimes they're tiny and good, just like my friend Nadine (a.k.a. Woolfy)

Woolfy has just opened a teeny-tiny little shop she calls tinyWOOLFIn it you will find beautiful, little treasures, hand-made by Woolfy herself, all so petite you'd think only a fairy could make them.

To remind yourself that good things do come in small packages, click here and here to check it out. Woolfy would be very happy to meet you, she's lovely, nothing at all like this scary chap...


Promise.



* not really!

  1. That first wolf looks a little camp, and a little bit busting-for-the-bathroom. Will check out your little friend!
