Oh good, you've arrived just in time...I've made a fresh pot of tea. Come in, come in - make yourselves at home.
Pip has dressed up for the occassion...she is so pleased you could make it. She's been nagging me all week..."How many more sleeps?"
The little fairy made some cupcakes...would you like one? She is happy to share her lolly bag with her best friend...oh, and you of course...
Careful girls...Pip can sniff those lollies a mile away!
Would you like another cup?
Perhaps you would like a little cake? I've had 3 already...
So glad everybody could make it...just shoo the little birdie off your cup...oh goodness, I hope she didn't have a little accident in there??? Let me get you a fresh cup...
You really shouldn't have brought flowers...how did you know tulips are one of my favourites?
Marshmallow, anyone? We can toast them by the fire if you like...
Ahhhhh....lovely
Don't forget to grab a lollipop before you go...
My goodness, time flies when you are having fun...I'd ask you to stay a while, but I know you have lots of other visits to make...thankyou so much for coming, it's been a hoot!
Just click here for all the other parties to visit...have fun!
And a big thankyou to the one and only MISS VANESSA for hosting such a scrumptious affair!
UPDATE
I just wanted to let everybody know that I am slowly getting around to visiting you all...what fun!

Oh, Tina, how lovely. What a hatter you are; perhaps more of a "sweet hatter" than a mad one. Watch out for Pip in case the white rabbit is spotted. I love the lollipops and the little cakes. All so scrumptious. Thank you for tea. Peace. Brianne

So sorry I am late
ReplyDeleteFor this important date,
But you were twenty sixth down on the list.
With too little time
I'm leaving this rhyme
For I'm adamant about wanting to persist.
All this running about
Has left me dry in the mouth.
Might I have a cup of tea?
Your lovely cupcakes
And your beautiful tarts too
Are all so tempting to me.
Oh my, the time
It goes so fast
I must be on my way
But fear not friend
I shall return
Please……Have a beautiful day.

Oh, my! I hope you don't mind I've wondered into your tea party--I was just passing by, when I heard all the jolly noise. What a beautiful tea party this is and your outfit is so lovely. I clicked on your link to the creator of "Mad Tea Party" and I just love this concept. You ladies are brilliant and lovely hostesses. Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteHello, may I join you? :)
ReplyDeleteBecause I have the same "madness" as you!!!! (meaning the good, creative type of madness!!) :) I like your tea party a lot....!
Many kisses from Thessaloniki, Greece - Fany
Tina... I wish I could express all that is in my heart at the moment (especially tough with a cat in my lap as I am trying to type!). At the risk of becoming too sentimental, I have to say that I feel so blessed... so happy, loved and appreciated! My heart is truly bubbling over!!!!! The internet and the blogs are such a gift for me. I get to connect with kindred spirits like you! People who are wonderful, creative, silly and fun, free spirited souls and who think like I do (a scary thought I know!!!). I just want you to know that I really appreciate you and love that you like what I do! I am so happy that I am able to give you one of my silly creations (and you are happy about it!?!?!). Even though you are half a word away and maybe I will never meet you in person I count you among my friends... thank you. It is the end of the day here and I am definitely getting sappy so I will end it now but... thank you. So happy to know you (through the internet).
ReplyDeleteLove and blessings,
Tricia
hi!!! you are my winner!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh - so much fun! I'm sorry I missed it! Wow ... Pip is getting such a big girl :-)
