I want something whimsical on that wall. The room is built for linear thought, for logic, for coloring in the lines. I want something to remind me to see things differently, even when I'm paying my bills.
I want a little Tom Robbins in my office. A little Douglas Adams. A Little Prince.
This one:
Not this one:
I want some Oz, some Wonderland in my office.
So I wandered my way over to Etsy to see what I could find. I started with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which, along with Through the Looking Glass, was probably the first piece of literature to thoroughly blow my mind.
Side note: as a child old enough to know better, I used to ride my horse around looking for rabbit holes to jump down. This probably says more about how desperate I was to escape my step-mom (you can read a little about her here and here) than anything else. But I really was that captivated by the idea of Wonderland.
Anyway, I didn't find anything I might actually want to hang on my wall, but I did find some cool Wonderland inspired things to look at. Enjoy.
Not from Etsy, but kind of freaking amazing:
Spanish Lace by Edyta Cieloch currently on in a Museum of Art and Design show called Object Factory.
Mad Hatter from Jessica Rosario's Wonderland collection.

I wanted to email you but couldn't find a way..so anyway, I've followed you on UB (from back in the day) and came upon this post http://www.youbemom.com/forum/view/1661168
I loved your response to the idiotic post and wanted to drop you a note to show some appreciation. I have a blog too and you are linked from there.
Oh dear. There are too many Martini Moms roaming the internet. Surely that can't be good for society.
I am not the Martini Mom you seek, and had never visited youbemom before clicking on the link in your comment. So someone else deserves your appreciation, but I hope you'll enjoy my blog anyway!
Awesome Etsy items! And I can't wait to see Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter on the big screen. Have you seen the pic of him?!? Wow.
Good stuff.
