Chez Alice

You're terribly late you know...Naughty!"

                              said The Mad Hatter. It's true I am late. Late posting today

And I never got to the Alice Tea Party at Rizzoli because I was painting up a storm here trying to catch up. Thank you Grace for posting on The Real Alice in Wonderland book signing. I thought I'd show you Alice at Printemps instead today.

You could look down from the escalators on the big Mad Hatters tea party going on at Printemps ground floor - not very private indeed! *Note on the facing wall behind the tea table.

All these exquisite.

'Alice' still life setups.

Perfect for painting.

Perfect for eating. Well just perfect. As I was tiptoeing around in my best Sherlockian mode, nabbing shots to show you I heard my name called out,
"CAROLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

Was I about to be arrested..?

It was Biscuit Bear (aka Helene) and her daughter Puni, attendees at the big tea table who spotted me. We met on Flickr sometime ago. I loved this picture of Puni wearing the dress from the Marie-Antoinette exhibit.

Helene and Puni showed me the Alice book in the tea salon. It's a book within a book, well many books.

I realize I haven't shown you a single macaron today.
Simply shocking!
The green "Alice" music box was once full of macarons...sigh

Now I must get back to painting.

Doesn't this look like a modern-day Alice lost in wonderland? Wanna trade places with her on this wet Monday?

I DO!

Jeanne sent me her painted version of "Alice" - Your lovely post of Alice and Puni reminded me that my recent painting of my granddaughter Carlie seemed to somehow emanate Alice as well. Maybe with the current movie, Alice is in our collective consciousness.

Isn't she enchanting?
