THE VAMPIRE CAT T SHIRT – The Vampire's Wife

The Vampire Cat T Shirt

The Vampire’s Wife launch a new t shirt today. The gorgeous VAMPIRE CAT T SHIRT is based on a drawing by one of my favourite illustrators N. Parker, and written by his twin brother, B. Parker, from my much-loved collection of antique children’s books. This drawing was created in 1910 and appeared in the book “Twice Three is Six”—

‘A wonderful tale told in verse about the rivalry between three Scottie puppies and three fabulous kittens.’

Vampire fangs and pussy bows courtesy of The Vampire’s Wife, of course!

For children, cats and dogs that fight,

For all whoever scratch and bite,

And for all those that have scratched and bitten

This little chronicle is written’

I hope you like it!

Much love, Susie x

WE COME FROM THE LAND OF THE ICE AND SNOW

My husband showed me this piece of footage of a concert by Led Zeppelin from 1972 in Sydney, Australia. He says that he saw this same concert in Melbourne when he was fourteen years old. It was one of the first concerts he ever went to. This video is a mash-up of two performances in Sydney and Long Beach, Los Angeles. What extraordinary energy this band had, and what an amazing song.

YOUR BODY IS AWAY FROM ME

Who doesn’t love a bit of Rumi on a Sunday morning, one of the most influential poets of all time. A beautiful reflection on what my husband calls the ‘impossible realm’ of grief. The person whom we have lost physically remains as an interior, secret and saving force.

I COME FROM THERE

I love this poem, Tropical Town, by Salomón de la Selva. The poet was born in 1893, in León, Nicaragua, writing in both Spanish and English. He was active throughout his life in numerous labour and political movements He died on February 5, 1959. I love the line ‘I come from there…’, suggesting that the poet is an immigrant, far from home, dreaming of the repose of the cemetery, ‘where the green trees are.’ So very beautiful.
