Have you been anxiously awaiting it as I have?
It's the annual *Mad Tea Party*, right here in bloglandia, hosted by the always enchanting Vanessa Valencia, and her handsome cohort, the Mad Hatter, at Vanessa's blog "A Fanciful Twist". For those of you not familiar, this is annual blog-hopping sort of event, beginning on the aforementioned blog, where all the Mad Tea Party participants are listed...
Visit any or all, as time allows, but I feel that more is always better, especially when it comes to madness. ;)
So let the party begin!
Let's see, we'll need a teapot...I love them all. You decide. ♥
Now let's see what's in the Mad Tea Chest...
Maybe a cup of herbal brew?
And what tea party would be complete without sweets? I've baked up a batch of pink lemonade cupcakes just for the occasion. And how fun is the tea cozy? It was a gift from a very talented collector friend. So sweet of her. ♥
I love, love, LOVE tea parties, don't you?! I'm so glad you came to visit, and hope you come back again to have a further look around! But before you go, do leave a comment - any comment will do - and you'll be entered to win this whimsical little painting "Down the Rabbit Hole". This is an original, not a print, painted in acrylics on 5" x 5" gallery canvas, and signed by the artist (me). :)
The edges are painted too, so there's no need for a frame.
I'll draw the winner's name via random number generator next Saturday, July 2, at 9PM. Until then, "Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!"....I must be off...
Happy Mad Tea Party Day!
