I adore the characters of ‘ALICE’ & ‘Queen of Hearts’ but Dislike the Cheshire Cat!

I LOVE Ornate keys as they remind me of opening that tiny doorway into Wonderland, But my Fav are those tiny drink me bottles!! I’m especially looking for things that I can actually use like purses, bags, handmade stationary and jewellery! I especially have my eye on those beautiful alice rubber ink stampers, they are impossible to find here in England.

My favourite scene is ‘A Mad Tea-party’ and I’m mad about John Tenniel’s illustrations and ‘Alice in Wonderlands’ Dark Sureal undertones!

I like just about anything Alice in Wonderland, esp. the Disney version...Alice, The Red Queen, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, etc...

jcat 07/23/2007 #

I like the Cheshire Cat, and the other Unique characters.. The Caterpillar, The Toast Horses (Disney version), also Original Lewis Carol writings and drawings. I dont much care for the American Mgee.. also not really crazy about alice herself.

What a great idea! I love the surreal, darker aspects of Alice; I don't particularly like the disney-versions, since the creepiness is stripped out. I prefer looking glass to wonderland, and underground is really cool too; I like the original illos. I like the Barry Moser woodcut version of alice very much. I don't really have a favorite character, though the frog footman can annoy me as do both the red and white queens, however for the purposes of this swap if you find something perfect with those characters I'm sure I'll be delighted. Thanks!

what a great swap idea hailey!! Alice lovers unite ;)

I really like the darker aspects of alice in wonderland, please no disney alice for me thanks! that's too soft, lol!

My fave characters are the red queen, the mad hatter, The Caterpillar and I love lewis carol/mcgee illustrations.

I love just about anything having to do with AinW, just no Disney, please. My favorite Alice illustrators are Tenniel and Rackham.

Hailey - You changed the send-by deadline... thanks! I had already written to my swap partner to let her know that I was still waiting for something to come in the mail before I could send her package. I ordered it before the swap started and it's still not here! Thanks for extending the deadline a few days.

Wow wow wow! I received an incredible package from Heather (winemakerssister). Hand made notecards, tarot cards, magnets, a stamper, a book, there's so much I might have missed something. All great quality too.

Thanks so much Heather-this is my best swap ever.
