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

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.

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

Original Things
Today we've been amusing ourselves by browsing round the charming All Things Original, which features the work of dozens of designers and artisans, many of whom are offering goods which would be quite at home in a Wonderland house.
Clickety Click is a print from Cassia Beck's Through the Viewfinder series of photographs. We're sure we don't need to tell you why we would like it to grace our walls.
These delectable hand sewn cakes and biscuits are made by the appropriately named British Cream Tea and would look marvellous displayed on a tiered cake stand. Click through for the French Fancies, Iced Gems, a Jam Tart fit for the Queen of Hearts, Bourbon Biscuit and the Raspberry Jam Scone. They also make an adorable Butterfly Cake and a delicious looking Vanilla Slice and, to launch the festive season celebrations, a Christmas Pudding.
We think the Red and White Queens would be delighted to have these Crowning Glory cushions adorning their respective thrones (and we wouldn't mind them on the sofa.) The green would compliment the surprising number of green cushions we seem to be acquiring in Wonderland House and the pink would make a spectacular contrast.
You can fancify yourself in a veritable Garden of Live flowers with these pretty pieces of jewellery made by Gossimarwings. Try a Pansy Wooden Necklace, Wooden Flower Earrings or a Wooden Flower Ring for that (horti)cultured look.
Or if you see yourself as more of a Queen of Hearts type, then this pendant and ring (which the designers say contain 'real roses') may be for you.
If you think Her Majesty would benefit from being a little dafter, try the Goofy Heart Tshirt or the matching brooch.
The Teapot Sweetheart Necklace is satisfactorily Wonderlandish, as are the other tea themed items at All things Original.
These winsome pin badges articulate our feelings about tea and cake with admirable eloquence and brevity.
And the question posed in another charming print by Cassia Beck, Tea or Coffee? should have an obvious answer...
