Sryashta spins golden yarn inside which she weaves your fate. (If you are a good and kind person, she may just take matters into her own capable hands and improve it.)
She is the goddess of good fortune and serves as the household assistant of Mokosh, the Slavic earth goddess.
Sryashta is a variant of the Dolya/Nedolya myth.

I regret to inform you, Sire, that the young lady has disappeared, leaving behind only this glass slipper.
This Cinderella coach has been mine since I can remember. It is just plastic with gold paint, but I love it and always have. It used to hang on my mom's tree every year for me. I was so not the kind of princessy little girl that this was meant for, but when I hang it up, I feel like that kind of dainty, precious, pretty little kid, with big dreams and never-ending optimism. You know, exactly the opposite of ME.

I love knowing this about you--it makes me want to give you a hug.
gosh!
I'm having a little moment...
i meant, you know, that cinderella was all frills and lace and starry-eyed enthusiasm...not all cynical like yours truly. i didn't mean to make anyone cry or anything...
I'm not crying! I just think this reveals that there is a little more princess in you than you like to think--that's all. :-)
I love that you've had this since childhood! I bet you have much more starry-eyed enthusiasm shining through the cynicism than you might think.
Awww...I love it! Sniff...It reminds me of when I went to see The Slipper and the Rose (Cinderella flick) with my mom at Christmas at Radio City Hall (you know, the Rocketts dressed like Nutcrackers...)
Christmas seems a time for a whisper of that starry-eyed enthusiasm to come out in all crusty and wannabe crusties so good for you! from a wannabe crusty.
