Happy (Un)birthday!

It's been a year since our dizzy alice debut, so without further ado...

 Happy Birthday to us!
This photo was captured at our first pop-up. We were armed with our love for Alice, ample curiosity, and a spring in our step!

Our adventure has been smashing and we know one thing for sure: Hamilton is our Wonderland!

Here is our year in review:

We...

Laughed heartily and often...
Sipped a walloping amount of tea...

…and usually in the most peculiar of places...
We gobbled copious amounts of toothsome tea fare...

Acquainted ourselves with the White Rabbit & Mock Turtle...
Experienced engrossing conversations with flowers...
Relished being topsy-turvy and backwards in the Looking-Glass World...
Got the "mean reds" at a Mad Tea Party...

Perfected our Cheshire Cat grins...
Read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland many times over - even when we weren't supposed to!
Professed our love for the Queen of Hearts…
Makeup: Kelly Henderson
Got as close as Tweedle-dee & Tweedle-dum...

Brushed up on our curtseys...
Made friends with our dizzy wares...
Chased time because after all, round goes the clock in a twinkling!

In between dancing and daydreaming, we even conducted dizzy business...
Finally, we tried to fit through itty bitty doors!

Tea for two and two for tea
Thanks to you for supporting we!

grinning from earring to earring

Do your earrings hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Read on to review our ravishingly rare retro earrings. 

A pop of colour is an understatement when it comes to these 1960's zesty lime green earrings. This pert and perky pair of earrings attended some parties in their past life says the previous owner.
$7
Let the lime transport you to a sublime moment.

You'll appear as though you've been prancing through a lush garden of talking flowers…
…when wearing pleasant petunia earrings. Their purply hue is so purdy, it'll put a pep in your step!
$5
We're over the moon with these magical crescent earrings. The flowery pearl accents emit a darling glow.
$10
Bows and pearls sing a sweet duet in this daydreamy pair. They are music to our ears.
$10
These diamond shaped earrings showcase an adorable atomic flower pattern.
$5
Go sailing in a pool of happy tears in cheery, cherry red sailboats.
$7
We adore the art deco appeal of these danglers.
$10
The Mad Hatter would tip his hat to chapeau earrings. We always declare our love for hats worn on our heads, but hats upon our ears are wonderfully wonderland-esque! 
$7
Golden fans and ruby red blooms are a radiant combination!
$10
If you desire something more dainty, delicate roses are dandy. 
$7
$10
Don't fret if your ears aren't pierced; many of our earrings are screw-backs and clip-ons. Remember that clip-ons have another use: fancying up your collars!
$5
If you find our collection EARisitable, don't miss our first pop-up of the season on Saturday May 3rd. We hope you find a pair you'll treasure!
"How are you getting on?" said the Cat, as soon as there was mouth enough for it to speak with. Alice waited till the eyes appeared, and then nodded. "It's no use speaking to it, she thought,
'till its ears have come, or at least one of them."

starry wonders

The following dizzy doodads make us feel...

Stop those shivers by slipping a shawl over your shoulders, preferably one with oodles of fringe & flowers. Surely Frida Kahlo would be proud!
I couldn't part with the red shawl...
   ...but this incredible black one is for sale!
Frida's Favourite $14

It's something spectacular and far less scary when creepy crawlers come in jewellery form. The faux jade, lapis, and coral are a symphony of colour and the tiny pearls tweak our interest. Such a piece would make a splendid gift for the Scorpio in your life!
Scorpio Moon $10
This fanciful belt would fit a frolicking fairy, but you may fasten this fun-loving brooch wherever you choose.
Tinkerbell's Waist $5
A dainty bow and the creamiest of roses mingle in this darling brooch. We envision it being worn in the Edwardian style, just as our beloved cameos.
Rosy Delight $10
Our minds quickly wander to what Georgia O'Keeffe says of her large-scale flower paintings: "I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could no longer ignore its beauty." These words best express our feelings about this rare-sized brooch!
          
     
Georgia in Love $10
Since we profess our love for brooches on the regular, it's no surprise that we are in a dither over their tiny toddlers: scatter pins.

Our minds skedaddle to-and-fro at the striking ways to sprinkle them. Spruce up your outfits by pinning one to each side of a collar, placing them to mimic a row of buttons, or wearing them in cheerful clusters. We can safely say that these sweet jewels scatter sunshine upon any garment!
Oysters Fall in Love $10
The shoesies on Ginger Rogers' lapel makes us giddy because…
...we have similar ones for sale!
Fancy Footwork $10
If Alice was attending a swanky soiree in Wonderland, she would dizzily dance the night away with her dangly squiggle earrings swaying to the beat!
Whirligig Wonders $12

This lovable set of vintage Avon butterfly earrings make our hearts flutter. The interchangeable wings come in the most heavenly hues. We believe they would be a delightful gift for the darling little dolly in your life!
Flight of Colour $25
Our adoration for apples continues with these amusing ashtrays. Using them to serve olives at your next wine & cheese, housing tea lights to add quirk to the ambiance, or as a resting spot for precious rings and earrings would also work wondrously!
Them Apples $8
Dodo Bird salt and pepper shakers are definitely dizzy doodads, and even more intriguing is the fact that the Dodo Bird is one of the curious creatures inhabiting Wonderland!

All must have Prizes! $12



 Today's post is a friendly reminder of our dizzy nature. As you twirl about in our pop-up shop, you'll spy our vastly various collection, something we like to call a "beautiful mess."

The unusual and forgotten hold a special place in our hearts. Rescuing mysterious pieces is our passion because we believe these starry wonders deserve a chance to shine on.

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole
world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."-Roal Dahl
