A Mad Tea, Indeed!


It's here!  It's here!  It's time for the Mad Tea Party!  Please come in and visit for a bit.  We have loads of treats and scrumptious tea. 


Tea time is around the coffee table today.  It seems most of the guests found the shrinking potion a bit early. 

 
Time for our audience with the Queen.  She brought her own special blend of tea and a mask for some reason.  Maybe she felt we should have a masquerade?


The Queen's jester came along for tea as well.  Oh the stories he tells!  He'll have us in stitches in no time.

 
 I think perhaps I should hold on to that key?!?  Wouldn't want to lose my only way to open the doors to Wonderland.


 A nice cup of tea and a few treats should be lovely right about now. 

 Perhaps an apple danish, molasses cookie, or a mini cupcake?  It all looks and smells so yummy!

Maybe just a bit of sugar for my tea...

 Oh, well, that's not quite the type of sugar I was thinking of...


 I see the Hatter is hiding out around the tea pot and the ladybug cake.  A good place I think.
 


 And there is Alice!  She seems to be carrying on quite the conversation with the ladybug. 


 Time to fill my teacup and have a seat.  Tea time is much better when one is sitting.  Trying to balance a cup of tea and a plate of treats is difficult but especially so when you must entertain a shrunken Queen.

 A little more fruit perhaps...

 Alice and the Hatter are heading through the looking glass.  I suppose that means tea time is over.  I really should get back on the hunt for my muchness.  I will find it...eventually!

 
 One more cup of tea and then I'm off on the hunt.  Mmm...lovely tea, but I seem to be feeling a bit...woozy.  Maybe I'll continue the search after a bit of a nap.

Thank you so very much for stopping in for Tea.  I do so hope you had a lovely time.  

Come back again and we can share another cup of tea.

Ohhh Laura, you've done a fine thing here. Teas and sweets go together, its true, but, you had me at savory munchies.

I apologize profusely or any orange sticky powder I may have left behind. :p

Have a wonderful, magically blissfully party-packed day!!!

Such a colorful and lovely party. I'm sure I will need a wheelbarrow to take me home after indulging in all those delicious yummies! Thanks for the invite and tell wooden hatter and Alice they are so sweet!

Magaly Guerrero said...

Of course I did not just stick my head in the fruit bowl! What do you take me for? I... I... I was just looking for something I dropped. Um... I like picking things up with my teeth, and the grape was already there so... nom, nom, nom!

I didn't see any fruit at Drusilla's Haunting Mad Tea Party. But there are extra servings of giggles to be had.

Kaye Swain said...

Oh what a sweet tea party. I LOVED the floral teapot as well as the gorgeous flower in your header. A floral tea party is always one of my favorite things. Have a great weekend.

Art and Sand said...

Everything is lovely, but the Queen's Jester is my favorite and that yummy cupcake has me thinking about ending my stroll through the Mad Tea Party and going into the kitchen to bake.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Lovely tea, thanks for the treats.
The tea did delight and oh my the jelly beans were just right.

Rhissanna said...

What a fabulous tea table. So many delights! You're absolutely right about the difficulties of balancing a cup of tea on its saucer and a cake, while maintaining polite conversation with a woman who casually has people beheaded. I think she must have been happily distracted by all the wonderful cakes. Thank you for the invitation!

Painting Apples said...
