All About Alice

I've recently developed a bit of an Etsy obsession, and embarrassingly, it's all about me, or at least my love for Alice in Wonderland. As an Alice, I often receive an excitable 'in Wonderland!' suffix, or sometimes 'the camel', and, worst of all, 'Who the F*** is Alice?!'.

So you can see how I would prefer Alice in Wonderland.

Like most kids, I grew up with Lewis Carroll's wondrous book and Disney's timeless cartoon - can you believe that was released in 1951? Later in life, upon a visit to my talented cousin in Oxford, we made a beeline for Alice's Shop, the Alice in Wonderland Mecca, full of beautiful books and stationary (my two great weaknesses).

Then recently the crafty Kate posted the delightful Alice envelopes on her Etsy site, and drew my attention to the fabulous jewelry at Alice Wears Gold, and the Etsy/Alice obsession ensued.

Now spoiled with Alice in Wonderland inspired lovelies, I'm keen to revisit the cartoon. I'm also keeping my eye on the hugely anticipated Tim Burton film adaptation which is due out in 2010. New news released today on that project see Australian actress Mia Wasikowska slated to be cast as the lead.

Curiouser and curiouser said Alice...
