"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Carousel Book": A Book Review

Wrapping up my month of Alice with what I think might be my shortest ever book review!

Title: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Carousel Book

Publisher: Macmillian Children’s Books

Genre: Children’s fiction

About the book…

An artful 3-D adaption of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

What I think… 

This is one of the more visually interesting Alice books I have in my collection.

Divided into six sections when you open it and tie the covers back, it does a nice job of capturing the pretty much the whole story with just a few sentences per page. 

The artwork, based on John Tenniel’s original illustrations, is beautifully colored and looks great the way they layered it. I especially love how dreamlike the layering makes each section look, which is, of course, very much in keeping with the book!

Quality wise, the binding is quite sturdy, which made me very happy, since it's more fun to look at when it's completely opened rather than flipping through.

To sum it all up… 

A wonderful addition to any Alice fan’s collection! ♥

On a Charming Bracelet

I figured since the last three weeks have had Alice topics I might as well keep going and let it be this month's theme. 

A good while back while looking for something else, I came across this Disney Alice in Wonderland charm bracelet on Etsy. Normally I don't wear a lot of bracelets that have things that dangle or that are chunky because it can make it difficult for me to type or do a number of other things for that matter, but I decided to get it because how often do you find a vintage charm bracelet for one of your favorite Disney movies?

 
Mine is missing the Alice and the dormouse charms (you can see the complete set on the Vintage Disney Alice in Wonderland blog here), which I passively look for on occasion. It turns out this is one of the harder Disney charm sets to track down (unlike the Jungle book bracelet, which seems to pop up everywhere), but who knows maybe someday I'll stumble across them accidentally!

On the Jam Rule: A Photo Post

Continuing with the Alice theme, although switching books...

According to the White Queen: "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday — but never jam to-day."

Unless you're me and consider today to be tomorrow's yesterday and yesterday's tomorrow, therefore, allowing me to wear the jam pin I made to match my Through the Looking-Glass t-shirt whenever I want!

On "Eat Me" Tarts

Continuing with the Alice theme...What does one do when they get an "Eat Me" cookie cutter? Make large tarts and use it on the pie crust!

On Alice Day Fun!

Today is the day the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland takes place on and what would have been the 165th birthday of Alice Liddell, the real Alice it was written for.

While I didn't do much to celebrate today aside from wearing this outfit and a button saying it was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Day (center of the above photo), yesterday I did a bit of mad tea party celebrating in making teacup hats with kids at work.

This, of course, involved decorating a wall and wearing a teacup skirt because if you're going to wear a paper teacup hat you might as well go all out. 

Twinkle, twinkle little bat...

I made this skirt, I think, in 2014 shortly after I made this one and I just haven't seemed to be able to get in on the blog to share. Happily it finally made it up today, though!
