I was so delighted to find my illustrated copy of Lewis Carroll's
Through the Looking Glass this week. I was even
more delighted that the black kitten in the illustrations is actually playing with a ball of yarn.
It must just be the mood I've been in this week, but my body is on slo-mo and my brain is on over-drive. Hence, I now share with you a few extremely random objects found while hunting for Alice and her black kitten.
Photo I took in Paris, 1989
Since I can't remember anything this week, this 1943 Atlantic City "Elephant Hotel" postcard struck me as particularly funny.
It says: "The only elephant in the world you can go through and come out alive." Um, okay.
Card made from origami paper. (No, I didn't make it.)
Photo I took near Bennington, Vermont, 2002.
These tombstones are "In memory of Capt. Samuel Barker" (d. 1807) and "Calvin Mulford" (d. 1821).
Postcard of Empress Dowager Cixi from Beijing (2000)And finally--happy hatch day to Lani!
Here are some birthday flowers just for her...

Such great pictures - I love the cards, they tell me a lot about you too :o) I really want to know what your favourite colour is though. I have my suspicions, but not sure.
The Paris Photo is great - I can read some of the text, but not all of it. The scene at the window is very mysterious.
Thanks for the birthday wishes...and the cute flower girl. I love it. I hope you get to feeling better. HUGS! :-)
The empress is lovely!
i can't make out all the of the paris text either. then again, my french is awful.
i used to think that was fruit on the windowsill. now it looks to me more like water balloons, lol
i love purples, dark purples. greys. grey green and forest green. and black, if i'm wearing it. basically anything at the GBIV end of the rainbow. (except navy blue!) also purple-reds and red-purples.
and i never wear white (or much of any light colors) b/c i'm always spilling coffee and things on myself. heehee!
The Alice picture is wonderful. And the elephant hotel - *boggle.*
