Rather A Handsome Pig

Alice was just beginning to think to herself, `Now, what am I to do with this creature when I get it home?' when it grunted again, so violently, that she looked down into its face in some alarm.  This time there could be NO mistake about it:  it was neither more nor less than a pig, and she felt that it would be quite absurd for her to carry it further.

`Did you say pig, or fig?' said the Cat. 

`I said pig,' replied Alice.

Putting The Cart Before The Horse

Today we've been marvelling at the beautiful hand made art dolls from Cart Before The Horse, a husband and wife team from Portland, Oregon. They have a wonderful selection of Alice and Alicesque characters, and much more besides. If you like their work, do visit their website or his or her blog. They also have a shop on Etsy.

Queen of Hearts

The Alice in Wonderland Set comes with all the characters you see here.

The Pink Flamingo and the Cheshire Cat are also available separately.

We adore Alice and Cheshire Cat - that cat definitely looks like it's plotting something.

There's even an Alice Necklace. Art dolls you can wear? We approve!

We love the little buttons on the hat of Amanita Mushroom.

Tweedle Twins

 Felice the fawn is very pretty (and presumably has no problems remembering her name.)

 We assume that the pigeon, Birdie, will protect your home from serpents.

 Bailey Bunny

 Bebe Bunny

 Presumably, Elebee is influenced by the nectar collecting elephants Alice sees in Through the Looking Glass.

The Footmen

The Fish-Footman began by producing from under his arm a great letter, nearly as large as himself, and this he handed over to the other, saying, in a solemn tone, `For the Duchess.  An invitation from the Queen to play croquet.'  The Frog-Footman repeated, in the same solemn tone, only changing the order of the words a little, `From the Queen.  An invitation for the Duchess to play croquet.' 

Then they both bowed low, and their curls got entangled together.

Barristers in Britain still wear the same style wigs as worn by the footmen of the past, so they are still available for purchase. We're not sure if you'd actually want to wear one, but we've put together a footman inspired outfit post so thought it best to include one.

More Mushroom Madness

While looking for items for yesterday's mushroom themed post, we found an amazing outfit which we can't resist sharing with you.

This mushroom print silk dress is made by TBA and available from ASOS and makes the wearer look as though they are donning a fairy tale.

They also have a matching skirt and jacket made in the same fabric.

We can imagine the ASOS items teamed up with the magical little mushroom vial necklace and the decoupaged wooden box purse.

Of course, mushroom is also a colour so, while you're visiting ASOS, you might like to pick up this nail polish set in mushroom and grey.

 

We enjoy the visual pun of teaming the literal mushroom items with a selection of mushroom coloured items which we found at Topshop.

And there must also be art.
