I am off on a treasure gathering expedition!
Expect many new in-store delights when I return, including the rare Decorus globosa flower grown only in the heart of the Black Forest.

In the mean time, feel free to browse my current selection in the Curious Oddities shop!

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

The first photos for Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland slated for release in March 5, 2010. I am really looking forward this production, and of course it has a great cast including:

Anne Hathaway as the White Queen

Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen

Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter

Really, is there anything that Johnny can’t do?

As well as Alan Rickman, Christopher Lee, Michael Sheen, Stephen Frye and the lovely Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

The landscapes look fantastic too, here are some great shots courtesy of USA Today.

Very, very excited!



Cognac & Sausages

A really fun night of performances as a fundraiser to help send the Cognac and Sausages aerial theatre production to Montreal, followed by Promise Factory, temporarily moved from Cherry Beach.

Cognac and Sausage’s absolutely delightful, beautiful and comical aerial performance staring Rebecca and Athena (Aka Anastasia and Miranda Spitalotski.)

Femme de Feu 1Femme de Feu 2Very cool fire performance by Femme de Feu: the flames were coming from the ends of their fingers.

Lots of great performances and dancing, great night…must get some sleep…
