Matching Alice Rubber Stamp
Alice has been captured for posterity as she was talking with the Cheshire Cat. So demurely she stands looking up with her hands clasped behind her back.
This motif has been laser cut from 1/8 inch thick Baltic birch and Alice appears to be almost floating once you place her on a solid or fabric background. The sides are natural wood color and the back has been painted black.
Wonderful for jewelry, shrines and all kinds of artwork, you'll find you'll need a bunch of these. They are lightweight and are great for all kinds of projects.
Alice is small - 2-1/4 inches high (much smaller than she was in real life) by 1-1/8 inch at the base of her dress.

More Alice in Wonderland
Our cute little Alice in Wonderland vial will make a perfect necklace adornment or charm. Made of glass with a snug fitting cork, it measures about 1-1/3 inch high and will hold 2 milliliters (about 1/4 ounce). There is a tiny eye hook on top of the cork so that you can use it as a charm or pendant.
Although the cork fits quite snuggly, you might want to seal the cork to the bottle with sealing wax, glue or in some other manner if you choose to wear the little bottle.
The image has been applied by high quality laser printed sticker and should last a long, long time. However, it is water-resistant, not water-proof.

Literary Greats (in Caricature) Paper Dolls
More Paper Dolls
More Poe
More Shakespeare
More Other Famous People
This delightful paper doll collection features 35 paper dolls of famous authors, each with costumes depicting characters from their best-known works. The authors are in caricature and some look a little silly. Although we'd rather see these be more realistic, they probably wouldn't be as much fun!
Introducing each author is a quotation from that literary giant. This from Agatha Christie, the first doll in the book:
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
Ms Christie's costumes include Hercule Poirot, Sir Wilford Robarts and Miss Marple.
Another of our favorites is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson outfits as well as one of a fairy-believer.
Other literary stars are:
Ayn Rand - The Brothers Grim (Jacob & Wilhelm) - The Brontë Sisters Charles Dickens - Emily Dickenson - Ernest Hemmingway - Fyodor Dostoyevsky Franz Kafka - F. Scott Fitzgerald - Geoffrey Chaucer - George Orwell - H.G. Wells Herman Melville, Jane Austen, Jack London, J.R.R. Tolkein - Jules Verne Lewis Carroll - L. Frank Baum - Leo Tolstoy - Mary Shelley - Mark Twain Nathanial Hawthorne - Oscar Wilde - Rudyard Kipling Robert Louis Stevenson - Tennessee Williams - Virginia Woolfe - William Shakespeare
And of course, our favorite is Edgar Allan Poe, with outfits from The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mask of the Red Death and The Raven.

Alice's Enchantmints - Curiouser & Curiouser
More Candy & Other Edibles
This fun little re-usable tin of candies even reads "EAT ME" - just as though it appeared from Wonderland itself!
Soon Alice's eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small mint, on which the words 'EAT ME' were beautifully almost invisibly marked. 'Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, 'and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!
Ooops! We know that's not the real tin, but this little in is so cute - if Lewis Carroll were here today, he might have changed the story himself!
The little hinged tin measures 1-3/4 square by 3/8 inch thick. The flavor is peppermint.

Amanita mushrooms are considered good luck in many cultures, especially in Germany. You'll often see them pictured with gnomes, elves and fairies in children's literature.

Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles (Alice in French)
More French
This first French translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (there have been no less than seventeen others) was supervised by Lewis Carroll himself. In the opinion of many experts, and countless older and younger French readers, it is still the best. It has a remarkable freshness and original8ity and admirably renders the English puns and parodies with French equivalents. "How Doth the Little Crocodile?" for instance, is turned into a a parody of La Fontaine, the staple of French lesson books.
Carroll picked Henri Bué as translator on the recommendation of Bué's father, who was an Oxford colleague. The younger Bué was just at the beginning of his career, and Carroll could not have known that he would go on to distinguish himself both as a translator and as an author and editor. Bué worked rapidly, and had the translation done in a couple of months. Carroll, on the other hand, spent another two years making certain of it. He solicited the opinions of many friends to test the puns and verses. The prose he seems to have been able to judge for himself, and he wrote to his publisher that he was highly pleased with it.
This reprinting of the first edition is complete with the forty-to Tenniel illustrations that were originally included. O f course it is not just for French readers. As one London reviewer, who called it " a delicious translation," remarked: "We could almost (almost, but not quite) wish we had never read it in English, in order to have the pleasure of reading it in French." He went on to say: "It is an exquisite book in appearance the same size, type and illustrations as the original volume; and the fun is wonderfully preserved." He also pointed out that it would be a great help to the "young folks in their studies." That is as true today as it was a hundred years ago, for the charm of the French Alice, like that of the original has only grown with time.

Celebration Crowns for Very Special Celebrations
Queen of Hearts Crown
Three festive designs are die cut in unique crown silhouettes. These magnificently printed collages incorporate images reproduced from antique sheet music, Victorian scraps and Dresdens, Spencerian writing, paper lace and many other antique bits and pieces from the artist's collection.
A luminous folded paper banner heralding the sentiment CELEBRATE is applied to the front of each crown. The back of each of the crowns is printed with an elegant Spencerian presentation certificate that can be filled in to commemorate that very special occasion or achievement. And hand-applied iridescent glitter adds a magical sparkle.
Aside from the traditional use - as a coronet for the star celebrant, why not use one as a centerpiece for the celebration? Crowns are printed on sturdy, pliable specialty paper, with colored eyelets laced with silken ribbon at either end. Tie the ribbons together for wearing.
