Alice in Waterland

A lost day without focus, this Monday. If you're feeling similarly, take a little more time & visit Elena Kalis' website & blog. A Russian photographer currently living in the Bahamas, she has a beautiful project combining two of our great loves: Alice & the sea. You can follow Elena on Pinterest, Twitter, & Instagram.)

Sigh.

GG Tea

It's cold & rainy in Washington, DC this morning. We're still sipping our tea & waiting on all sorts of news. We'll be back later today.

What to Wear to a Mad Tea Party

Thank goodness a friend had the foresight to send Giulia's editor this fab Zara Carpenter Alice Bow headband for a recent birthday. She'll be suitably attired for the new Washington landscape. Zara is the talented hat/head gear designer at Chatham Girl. She has a cheeky English sense of humor. GG's editor wrote about her, here. And you can visit Zara, here. Now we must rush for we are late, very late...

Update: look at the new feline-inspired berets!

Alice in the Daisies

We've no idea if this is Alice in Wonderland but she is to us. Hope Monday is not too-blue. [image via we heart it]

Alice & the Red King Dreaming

Made4Aid's auction item this week is donated by Susan Sanford, of ArtSpark Theatre

Look what GG's editor just bid on. It's gorgeous...look at those colors. Care to make it interesting? It's less money than you think, including shipping.

From the Made4Aid blog:

Susan has for some time been delighting blogland with her photography series of Alice in Wonderland and through the Looking Glass. She's produced a calendar and just recently a book "Dreaming Alice"... and this is the photographic print she has donated to made4aid, which is entitled : Alice and The Red King Dreaming.

GG, Alice, & a Big Rabbit

As a friend of ours used to say, "It's a real Monday morning..." Yep. All Day. Still, we are seriously thinking of bidding on one of two items over at Made4Aid. Why don't you join us & have a little competition? The starting bids are surprisingly low. (Even for our coin purse.) And with that, we leave you until probably tomorrow afternoon. Because it is a real Monday here. All Day. If you know what we mean.

Down the Rabbit Hole

That's just how GG & her editor feel about the weird anti-Obama email piled up in our main account. How on earth could anyone not know, by now, where we stand, that we've already voted, & we volunteer for the campaign? It's ugly stuff, too. So ugly that we're not going to put in our customary fun & pun links. Perhaps people are in denial, perhaps they slipped & hit "forward." We don't care any more--no excuses. If you see this & have to think for one second "Did I send anything like that?" -- then you did. Cut it out.

Boo.
