Lots of pics just for the heck!

Hello there,

Thought I'd do some postings just showing images for the next couple of weeks as I'm going to be away in Tokyo until the end of the month. I don't know about you, but I love just browsing through photos on blogs and seeing what people are making. 

Would love to hear and comments about my work as it's always useful to hear back from fellow crafters and doll makers. Hope these images put a smile on each face and a little bubble of happiness, Susannah x

Fabien and Pipi Lapin

There is a definite chill in the air now, only a matter of days I think until the leaves start falling in a heavier way. It seems to come around so quickly, but Autumn is a beautiful time of year and a chance to start cosying up.

Fabien and Pipi Lapin are looking forward to warm evenings in front of a log fire. They have much planning to do for their next season's performances:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

I came to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland a little later in life than I would have liked, but the child in us remains so it's never too late to be captured by a 'wonderland' adventure...

 Lewis Carroll's classic masterpiece will enthrall children and adults alike for decades and I hope, centuries more... we never need to grow up inside.... let's enjoy the thrill of the mystical worlds and be taken to lands beyond belief forever and ever!

I'm lucky enough to live very close by to Alice's shop in Oxford.
The actual shop where Alice Liddell...

... supposedly hung out and was inspiration for Lewis Carroll. On one trip to Oxford, we were invited into Lewis Carrol's old office where he wrote 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland'... it was amazing to see all the old manuscripts and working desk that has created such a classic.

 Alice's Shop In Oxford

 

The Alice's Shop in Oxford is the authentic Alice in Wonderland Shop because it is part of the original story. Situated across the road from Alice's childhood home, the Oxford University college of Christ Church, Alice's Shop was Alice's sweet shop 150 years ago. Lewis Carroll wrote the shop into the Alice adventures in Through the Looking-Glass and the illustrator, Sir John Tenniel, sketched two illustrations of the shop for the original book. An entire episode in the story takes place in the shop.

New Alice dolls are for sale now
UPDATE - SOLD OUT
