Mad Hatter Tea Party Today!


MAD HATTER TEA PARTY

 


I found a little creature
by our garden’s biggest tree.
I’m just not really sure
what this little man might be.






Perhaps a garden goblin,
a hobbit or an ork.
He’s just so very tiny,
and eats mushrooms with a fork!












(Hmm. He seems to have an interesting collection of mushrooms.
I wonder if we should check our tea?
The friends he brought look pretty interesting, too!)






He baked some fancy cupcakes,
and set a table for some tea.
He’s knows today’s the Hatter’s,
and is as happy as can be!






(I could have sworn I just saw Lady June! How odd!
Hmm. Two cupcakes are missing, too!)










(Oh boy. If you look close, even the cupcakes are sparkling. I wonder if the garden goblin has a special ingredient in them? I hope Lady June will be all right!)



He tells us famous stories
of maidens and their knights,
then builds a roaring fire
to light the dark sky night.









(I was hoping to share photos of the Queen of Tarts and her lemon tarts, as she's always our special guest. It seems, however, she found some mushroom stew, and now no one can find her! This is the first party I've hosted where the guests keep disappearing.)






(Well, I have to admit the little guy knows how to throw a fun party!)






We’ve grown so very sleepy
and the songs all start to wane.
He brings us mushroom pillows
and some mats of sugar cane.






Farewell to the Mad Hatter.
Farewell to the Fairy Queens.
The rest of us shall slumber
in a land of sweetest dreams.





(As usual, I start dreaming about Paris. However, much to my surprise, a strange little creature is crawling up the Eiffel Tower. Yikes!)





(In case you're wondering, our garden goblin host has a wonderful breakfast in store for us tomorrow
before you leave on your merry way.)

Oh Bill! What a festive and twinkly party you have had!!! Where can I get one of those sparkly cherry trees for my yard! I would like to have one! And I have to tell you the next time I have Lucky Charms, I am going to be QUITE disappointed if they do not have the psychedelic marshmallows in them like you have here!!!! We can't wait to see you at our party at The Tearoom!

Wishing you a most lovely Mad Tea Party weekend!

Queen of Tarts here! The mushroom stew contained mushrooms that make you invisible! So I'm at the party, but you just can't see me! I just gave the Mad Hatter a wedgie, and now a food fight is about to break out! Thanks for a wild tea party this year! WooHoo!
~With love and hearts from the queen of tarts!

I love the colorful motion in your tea party. Pictures have been a real treat to look upon, but your blog post has momentum and things to catch hold of the eye. A wonderful party full of grand treats for the one's looking on. Thank you!

Lady June here......I'm still recovering! I don't know what was in those glittery cakes but I went on some sort of psychadelic journey....I was flying and I still haven't come back down to earth.
And I still can't find my shoes.....

You sure know how to throw a party! xxx

Rhissanna said...

Christina Paul said...

How fun! Love how you magically brought the images to life and of course (being smitten with all things Paris) just loved how you snuck in the Eiffel tower! LOL
such a fun visit
Cheers!
