"Heidi" bag

[louiselux]

"A beautiful wholesome bag, designed to put you in mind of innocent youthfulness, log cabins on grassy mountainsides, and Grandfather."

All the time I was making this I was thinking of that BBC childrens tv series that was possibly made in alliance with some Swiss tv company, and Heidi was an adorable curly haired moppet with a piercing voice. My mental notes on Heidi go: Heidi - is shipped away to (or poss from? or both?) log cabin on grassy moutainside with Grandfather. Grandfather dies? Other plot points - don't know. Ending - don't know.

i_am_zan had the most complete description.

But just to complete it -
it goes.

1. Evil Aunt brings Heidi to Grandpa at the Alps because she got new job
2. Grandpa fixes bed made of straw - and it looks up at a window (i would call it skylight but then...) where she can see the stars.
3. Heidi meets Peter and the goats and enjoys the day with her
4. After Heidi is fully settled, evil aunt returns to get her because Clara Stresseman (?) wanted a companion. Heidi soon sleepwalks scaring the people at the house. Also Heidi is getting thinner and all that. Still, she is nice to Clara, bringing her some cats.
5. Clara's dad and the doctor sit up and see Heidi sleepwalking.
the Doc convinces Clara's Dad to send Heidi back home since she is getting sicker.
6. the Doc brings Heidi back and becomes friends with grandpa
7. they winter at the town instead of the alps
8. clara goes to the alps
9. jealous peter pushes her chair down the mountainside
but instead of forcing clara to go home, clara becomes stronger drinking the milk of snow... (cant remember the goat's name) - grandpa tells peter to let the goat eat stuff that she likes, and for peter to give her special stuff
10. even peter gets to study.

the end.

i love this heidi bag.
you dont accept credit cards? for some stupid reason, my pay pal is giving me problems. *sigh* and i live in the Philippines.... ah well. i'll just tell my classmate to checkout your site (she lives in the UK)

Suddenly all of Heidi comes flooding back with this blow by blow account!

Hmmmm, it should accept credit cards if you're doing it through paypal. Maybe it's some temporary prob with Paypal? That's kind of odd. I know that they were updated some of the checkout stuff on Etsy yesterday, so maybe that could be the reason?

i have had this paypal problem since 3 months ago.
i have practically given up on the paypal thing.
in fact, i had to trade stuff because i wanted one thing and i couldnt do it through paypal so i bought something she wanted in amazon and sent it to her.

your bags are gorgeous.
i would like at least two!
one as a gift to my doctor (she likes big bags) -
she's a nephrologist.

i havent read Heidi in the last 20 years
but yes, i liked it very much when i read, and i did read it several times

There might be some way we can work something out, if you really would want a bag. I'm just trying to think of ways. There is always a money order, which you would wire to me and I would pick up at this end. I would think the Philippines postal service would offer that, or companies like Western Union.

hmmm - i dont know about our post office.
i hate paypal... still, i guess i can send another inquiry letter to paypal...

we have western union here so i can ask too.

it'll take a while til i find out.
