Mad Tea Party at Vanessa's!


The magic and enchantment at Vanessa's (of A Fanciful Twist) Mad Tea Party are well under way.
Be sure to click on the button to see all the rarefied delicacies and splendiferous outfits! ... even the Mad Hatter is there - and shares his hat! Don't miss the fun.

Now I have to go put the final touches on our tea party ... and to dig out my maddest hat!

    I love that old photo, where do you come up with these amazing images. I enjoyed my visit as always.

    I'm so sorry to be so late.....so many tea parties to attend. Along the way I fell down the rabbit hole and somehow got lost at the bend. But if I may, I would love a cup of tea. All that running around has left me so very thirsty.
    Gee those cakes look tasty......is that steak over there? You don't suppose I might have one of those as well? Thank you.....

    Well, it has been splendid but I must be going. I have many more tea parties to go to still.

    May the day ahead be a beautiful one for you.
