2011 Mad Tea Party!

Welcome to the 2011 Mad Tea Party




As you well know, Alice has stumbled upon a beautiful tea party setting,
With the Mad Hatter and the March Hare



But she soon learns everything is not quite as it seems. From curious drinks, delightful treats and 
unexpected guests, mad things begin to happen!





Today’s Beautiful tasty treats were provided by Kim Manhein of CakeKim.Com

          




But Alas, it just wouldn’t do to have a Mad Tea Party with no surprises.
And, suddenly the strangeness begins.
Alice hears a voice saying I’m Late, I’m Late



And at once the beautiful tea table is absent of treats and every cup and every inch is covered in jewels and gems of every imaginable color:





As Alice looks closer she sees so many things, colors and textures galore.


      



Curiouser


    



And Curioser


And the Mad Jeweler Appears with a Proclamation or two.

Visit our website, Click Here, pick your favorite piece, and comment it’s name here.  
You could be our lucky door prize winner.

And while you are there you can use our Special Mad Tea Party discount code for 45% off!
Just enter code TeaParty at check out.
But Beware: these are one of a kind pieces, so there is only one of each piece available!

And then just as suddenly as she appeared, The Mad Jeweler and her wares disappeared.

Right before Alice’s eyes, two new guests arrived, of a quite furry type.
We are Katie and Sophie and we would like to share in the treats.



Katie and Sophie bring Alice news of a phenomenon occurring this very day. They tell her there are a multitude of tea parties all over the blogosphere today, each one unique and different.
They invite Alice to join them and traverse from Party to Party,

So they are off now, To come see You!

    A mighty fine spot of tea my dear if I do say! I will have to keep the name "Paisley" in mind - very pretty necklace - yes yes, pretties.

    What a treat filled table, and two very well behaved guests.

    How to pick just one bauble? I see Tiger Eye and Tortoise and Wild Thing and Summer Days and... each one as beautiful as the next!

    Lovely party! The puppies especially made me smile :)
    I LOVE A Touch of Red. I was leaning towards the seashell necklace (can't remember what it's called now) but butterflies have a VERY special meaning to me. I so hope I win.

    So sorry I am late
    For this important date.
    I'm still making my way down 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?

    All your jewels are lovely
    The Tara necklace is my favorite
    And Katie & Sophie are aborable

    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.

    *Gasp* What a decadent layout! I LOVE it!! Who needs cake when there are jewels to he had!!! Every piece is beautiful but Apple Blossom is calling my name if I were to be so lucky as to win. Thank you for visiting my silly Mad Catter cat nip and tuna tea party. The kitties were so happy you could attend, however they are relieved your puppies stayed behind... Your comments were very much appreciated. Here's to another mad capped party,
    Cheers,
