Alice in Pink Wonderland !

Today Disney's Alice in Wonderland opens in theatres. I can't wait to see Tim Burton's version of it. I am sure it will be entertaining and interesting.

My Alice doll came from Germany. Some doll maker carved two Alice dolls and put them in a pastry shop window--I saw the pastry shop pictured in Gourmet magazine and called them and bought the one doll. The doll maker passed away I believe. So my Alice is having a pink tea with the white rabbit (my white rabbit is from Steiff and her name is Clotilde-she is French) today in honor of the movie opening.

Johnny Depp researched the era and found that hat makers used mercury in the hat process and that is why his hatter is "mad" from the mercury he ingested while making hats. I also heard on Entertainment Tonight that they digitally enhanced Depp's eyes 15% to make him appear even more bizarre.

So I will be hopping over to the movie theatre today to see it

Have a PINK Day!

I'm late I'm late ...

I am feeling just like the White Rabbit today- running behind all day and now it is 10:00 p.m. and I'm just sitting down for the first time.

I still have my fun secret to share with you later this week and another wonderful treat-- soon --photos of my favorite shop in all of Atlanta!!

I'm also thinking about Alice in Wonderland because the new Tim Burton movie of it will be out in another two weeks--it should be fun, fun, fun !! I love having a movie to look forward to it helps make the dreary winter days more tolerable.

So please forgive me for running late and I will leave you with a beautiful clock image. I bet you know where it is taken------ Paris. In Musee d'Orsay. At least this clock is hard to ignore everyone should be on time at the museum. Louis XVI, last king of France, loved locks and clocks and most likely would have been a locksmith has he been born into another family!!

And speaking of clocks reminds me of the current Ke$ha hit song Tic Tok a far cry from the type of dance music that was popular in France during poor LouisXVI's time!

Have a PINK day!
