In Pretty In Blue, during Alice's tea party, a black top hat is sitting on the table, a reference to the Hatter, who was one of the people who attended the tea party in the novel. A ball of gray yarn is sitting on the tea party table, a reference to the ball of worsted yarn that Alice is trying to wind up while her kittens are playing with it in the opening scene of Through the Looking-Glass. Also during Alice's tea party, when Alice says, "Oh, you're that Ella", a white rabbit plush toy is sitting on a chair in the lower right hand corner. A wooden puppet similar to the one from The Adventures of Pinocchio can be seen near the dining table at the tea party.
