I still like to look at the pictures in the Velveteen Rabbit.. its such a wonderful book. I didnt know there was a film. All my grandchildren have read it or I have read it to them.. and we play out the characters. <br />Alice is a different story. Just like you I always became very confused with the story .. I had many years of dreaming that i fell down the hole and was way underground. I never understood that dream. <br />My take on dreams - I think when we look and talk and think about something..it stays in our sub conscious for a while..and then we dream about it. <br />wishing you a happy weekend Maria..<br />val xxvalerietilsten59.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617190196811279000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482562208496126954.post-339079549477222162012-11-22T19:22:39.640+00:002012-11-22T19:22:39.640+00:00A pyjama day, now that does sound good.

I love the Alice - Margaret Tarrant ...Ah dear Maria<br />I love the Alice - Margaret Tarrant is one of my favourite illustrators (along with Anne Anderson and Katharine Cameron) and I have several others from this series of children's books that she illustrated. Strange as I was just writing a post about some of my books and I (shockingly) have a few hundred children's books....not as bad as one of my sisters who has mainly only copies of Alice in her study - she has several hundred (oh dear we are a family of hoarders..)of them and when I go and visit we go drool over a fair few. Some pretty rare and bought (as always) many years ago - usually at jumble sales!! You may have seen the one in this post http://thecustards.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/tweed-lace-and-dorothy-bags.html - that was yet another for her collection!

I took a Fantasy and Romance class in college, and we had to read this book (among others). I always thought the story line was a bit strange, but then again, fantasy stories are supposed to be unusual and odd in their own unique ways. I like the drawings in your "Alice in Wonderland" book. You can't find drawings like that in books now-a-days. <br /><br />I LOVE that cute little rabbit in the last photograph. She looks so cute. Those little crocheted red shoes are simply adorable! :) <br /><br />As for "Pajama Day," I think it happens to the best of us sometimes. As long as you're not wearing your pajamas when you decide to go out to the shops, I think you will be okay "parading around" in them while you're in the comforts of your own home. :) <br /><br />Take care Dear Friend. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482562208496126954.post-18921418320547197792012-11-21T08:25:24.817+00:002012-11-21T08:25:24.817+00:00Hi Maria, love your book ... you have so many love...Hi Maria, love your book ... you have so many lovely things. I hate those sort of dreams, where you're rushing round trying to get somewhere, remember having them a lot before I got married, I couldn't find one shoe, or headdress or something equally important, and woke up really exhausted!<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the fair ... did you take any photos?

I have to ...Alice in Wonderland is rather strange. I have to say I loved it as a child. Did you know there's a statue of Alice's tea party in Warrington town centre? Bit of trivia for you, :) I love those cocktail sticks, great colours. Sounds like you had a blissfully relaxing day. I think we all should have more of those. No idea about your hare dream. I think they always seem to be related to whats going on in life. When I was being made redundant my friend dreamt we were out clubbing all night and then we went to work in a bean factory. Very appropriate as there's a Heinz factory where we live. Have another lovely day.<br />Ali xAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885333729417424955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482562208496126954.post-74847643137579866282012-11-20T23:01:26.405+00:002012-11-20T23:01:26.405+00:00I love Alice in wonderland..I have a few different...I love Alice in wonderland..I have a few different versions/copies of it, though I hadn't seen the version you have.
