Welcome to a Mad Hatters Garden Tea Party 2010

Come in, Come in the door is opened...

 
oh...how strange indeed..this is Mad Garden Tea Party...

It is inside the house...

So many things to see...

Tasty treats and teas,

Ribbons and pearls and tiny tea pots dangling in the air,

Swirling and Twirling..

with tempting tea and coffee treats...

ready to be taken by Mad Garden Tea Party Revellers.

More nests inside..

with lots of precious details.

 A little piece of magic in every one.

Decent size china mugs for a great cup of tea (or coffee).

Birds..

Birds..

Birds and more birds.

Teapots..

 Some with friends...

Bowls full of sugar...

A spectacular Mad Tea Cake..

A little teeter tottery but that is half the fun.

Pretty cups and teaspoons...

 
 and pretty china plates..

 ready and waiting.

Why don't we choose a chair...

and meet some of the Mad Garden Party Guests..

Choose a tea or coffee from the tree....

Oh there is fun...

and laughter....

there is eating...

and drinking...

and gorgeous hat wearing...

there are games to be played....

All tea or Mad related of course!

There was surprise..

and more laughter...

the white rabbit was there...

or perhaps it is Mary Monday...who can tell these days.

There were stories to be told...

There was Alice in the background, I am sure...

Of course there was tea...

and sweet treats...

Most importantly there is an afternoon spent in a magical world with friends. Thank you for joining us, we are so glad you came to play and thank you toVanessa of A Fanciful Twist  who without her imaginings, none of this would have happened...

Now I am off to visit a few more tea parties...there is always room for tea and sweet treats..

Well done!

Oh my, what a fun and festive tea party! It looks like plenty of fun family and friend memories were made by all. And such a fun journey to get there. I'll have to show the adorable tree photos to my grand children. They will take such delight in them. What adorable little and not-so-little tea sets. And the hats were quite delightful. All in all a wonderful time! Thank you. :)

[Candice]

Wow, great job! I had fun visiting you! Your chandelier turned out adorable. ;)Looks like everyone had so much fun!

The best way to spend a Mad Tea Party is with Dear Friends. So yours was perfect. A perfectly beautiful journey to get there.
So glad that I've found such an enchanting place to visit. I will definately be back.

Thank you for sharing your Muchness.

Your posts were great! I couldn't wait to scroll down and see the next picture and read! And I actually came over here for the Where Bloggers Create post, so I guess I better move along and find it. : )

[Lesley and Caitilin]

What an honour to be part of such a fabulous day!! Caitilin and I really escaped to your "other reality". Everyone, including you and your lovely family, should get to experience such whimsy. You all worked so very hard to create so many enjoyable and delicious dimensions for us, your guests, to enjoy. Thank you so very much for a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can't get over how hard your children worked to preserve the ambience of magic and quaintness for us, but then they do live with two wonderful (grown-up)children as their parents. (Don't ever grow up!)
By the way, I did find our croquet set to go with your flamingos for you.
You and your family put absolute magic into so many lives. Thank you for touching our lives. We love you all to bits!!!

What a very sweet tea party! I loved the little pink bird, and I loved to see how you used my "Shabby Bird Background sheet" for your tags. So adorable! Thanks so much for sharing! :) Cassandra
