A little change of plan. The fish still have to wait because a surprise shrine made it faster to its destination than I thought. And seeing what tin it is in, it kind of fits today. Well, yesterday really, since it was International Women’s Day, and the design on this little tin is a classic women’s empowerment poster.
Rosie the riveter can do it
However, this was not about empowerment but…
… about getting better. These tiny tins do not leave that much room for scenes and interaction, but in any case, it was only meant as a little cheer-up for a fellow fan who is currently undergoing some serious medical issues. And to that the doctor from his heavenly cloud where all the medical demigods roam, says…
Dr Track is a little bit obscured in there, so I thought it best to put a pretty picture of RA into the mini RAPS.
Flower placement deliberate, of course.
So there we are – a shrine too small to actually fit a candle. But these kinds of tins are more meant as objects to carry in the handbag and even your pocket; to actually hold on to in your fist when you are going in for difficult talks or smaller procedures. Something to distract and to carry lots of love with it. I hope it can be exactly that for the new owner of this shrine. May she get well, soon…
PS: In case you are wondering: The background there is the original wallpaper from my 1978 kids’ room. Funky colours… I wonder how I ever fell asleep, surrounded by those psychedelic rainbows on four sides…

True, the colours of the wallpaper were very uplifting. And the whole thing was actually cheerful without being totally child-like… I have fond memories 🙂

Enpowermint! I love it – and the sweet fluffy flowery innards. It is such a lovely idea to have the little tin as a talisman. I hope it works for the owner and that all will be fine. LOL about the wallpaper! Mine was similar with enormous swirly flowers. It’s a wonder indeed 70s children slept.

Hahaha, exactly. All those psychedelic patterns all over the house. How did we cope? Or have we got trauma? 😉

I wonder whether that wallpaper would look hip in a hipster cafe nowadays – or still old-fashioned…

Well, this lovely doctor certainly has what it takes to make any fan feel better. I hope he works his magic pdq.
I wonder if there’s a picture of my 70s wallpaper somewhere. It was a pea green version of the Prilblume basically. Soooo schön! 😬

Oh, I love the way you describe that wallpaper. I googled and came across this: https://www.design-collection-berlin.de/produkte/wohnaccessoires/prilblumen-tapeten/ Is it similar? Looks almost like a cross between yours and mine…

Bit like my wall paper too, which had eye-scorching blue and pink flowers. LSD for kids.

This does look like ours had a wallpaper baby. Very similar, except mine was just the flowers. Man, the 70s were wild.

Not judging, just curious, how is it that you have a piece of your 1970s wallpaper?

I came across it two years ago when we were clearing out my parents‘ house. A good German always keeps leftover wallpaper – in case you need to do touch-ups 😂

Ah yes, this thrifty American would save it, too, but we didn’t have wallpaper in post-war houses in the U.S. We had painted walls. And, yes, when my siblings and I emptied our parents’ house after they had lived in it 40 years, there were more than a few cans of half-used paint (probably some with lead in it) that we had to figure out how to throw away legally. (None worth saving as childhood mementos!) What a pain. Wallpaper would have been easier!

Oh yes, those half-empty cans of paint… I think my mum had already thrown those out by the time that I came to help, but my dad would definitely also have saved those left-overs… (So does my darling painter/decorator husband… his stash of paint cans is impressive. Added bonus: we never have to buy new paint, because he can usually create any colour I want from that stash of his…)
