#tea party
Hello readers!
For my 21st I decided I wanted to do a tea party. I’ve planned this since around May of 2014 so as you can see, it was a long time coming! I had a small group of friends I invited to the tea party because they are super close. Also the idea of baking for 30 is not a pleasant one.
It was really special too because it’s 150 years of Alice in Wonderland THIS year. Good timing eh?
So…
One more piece to my 70s Alice in Wonderland series

“There are several species of Hellebore. The name comes from the Greek words ‘elein’ (to injure) and 'bora’ (food), indicating that Helleborus is poisonous. In some belief systems, it’s been believed to be a purgative, sometimes of bad things generally, used for things like protecting livestock from evil spells & (in powdered form) for invisibility. According to herb lore, the roots of the hellebore plant are are used to treat melancholy diseases & madness.
The original name for Hellebore was
"Melampodium.” According to the Greek historian Pliny, the plant was named for the soothsayer Melampus who used it to cure depression in ancient times. On a happier note & in spite of poisonous nature of the plant, it is often called the “Christmas Rose” or “Christ herbe” because it blooms in winter.

HOW DISNEY USED A REAL MODEL TO DRAW ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Kathryn Beaumont (born 27 June 1938), the actor who voiced both Alice in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland and Wendy in Disney’s Peter Pan, also modeled for the animators. These photos show how much work was put into classical animation at the Disney studio.
Walt Disney chose Beaumont to be the voice of Alice when she was just ten years old. He chose her for the model of Alice. She was named a “Disney Legend” by the Walt Disney Company in 1998.
Made under the supervision of Walt Disney himself (1951), this film and its animation are often regarded as some of the finest work in Disney studio history, despite the lackluster, even hostile, reviews it originally received.
It gained popularity in the 1970’s due to the “drug” culture fandom at the time, it was released in 1974, and then again in 1981.
Today, it is not only considered the best animated film adaptation of Lewis Carrol’s novel but one of Disney’s greatest classics. { 1-10 }

Matrimonio: un Tea Party letterario con Jane Austen
L’incontro con Silvia e Giorgio era sul sentiero del destino: quando ci siamo visti la prima volta Silvia mi ha detto “Ho subito saputo di voler lavorare con te, però ho provato qualcun altro prima per via della distanza. Ad un certo punto ho capito che non era la persona giusta per noi, quella eri tu, e così eccoci qui.” Lavorare insieme a loro è stato impegnativo, sono arrivati in estate…
