Alice's wonderland back in style


   Go here for a video trailer of the new film.

Collectors, grab your running shoes and start scouring flea markets, antique and collectables shops for Alice in Wonderland memorabilia.

"Alice in Wonderland," the movie, opened here in Albany, NY, across the nation and Canada March 5th to a whopping $41 million day. It will bring in more money from the 40-plus foreign countries presently playing the movie. There already are items such as old books of the story, some mugs, cups, bowls, coloring books and children's toys of Alice floating around for you to collect, and more to come as Disney floods the market place with the various toys made in the image of all the characters in Alice.

Then, as I mentioned in an earlier post, there are the designer clothing and jewelry made under the influence of the movie, such as the dress shown here.

A few years ago, I found a cup and saucer with the Alice motif and brought it home for my husband, a great fan of the books. He was pleased, and for a while the items were displayed in our kitchen. Somehow, they made their way to the basement shortly thereafter.

Perhaps it is time to bring them back to the kitchen.
