A Mad Tea Party

  It's time! I'm ready! I hope you can make it to  our mad tea party.I keep looking out My windows

and peeking out on the porch.

Watching  For My guest to arrive,hopefully before nightfall.


Will they be taking Bluebell Lane

or Coffeeberry Lane.

Hope they be careful going through the opening of My forest,it's a must to do so after nightfall.

 Even the little critters of the forest know to go scampering for home  at Tea Time.They are never late.

All is ready, water is hot.

Trays are set.


Everyone can pick out their own pot and cup.




There you are! So happy you made it !

Sit,enjoy My fresh strawberries........

Grab a sandwich,relax and visit, stay for a long lazy while.

Then tea and dessert will be served.

I love your company.Please come back soon.

Vanessa from over the hills who lives in A Fanciful Twist was our guest of honor.Please go visit her,she will lead you the way to more Mad Tea Parties starting July 28th. Thank you Vanessa .

Denise,
What a delightful post. Jess loves the Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland. There's nothing like a pot of tea brewing and special friends to share it with. The forest pictures are so enchanting.

Oh Denise, I do love these whimsical little treats, and really enjoyed my visit today. I do love a tea party. I do hope you are gradually regaining your strength my friend, and not trying to overdo things. I still have to be careful when stretching anywhere, or lifting. It's so easy to forget sometimes! Good to see you here today.

I came via Bluebell Lane, and was very careful coming through the forest opening to your tea party. The chocolate covered strawberries were delish! Thank you for having me.

Dearest Denise,
Thank you so very much for inviting me to your lovely Tea. What a wonderful time I had trying to choose what teapot I would use. So many charming ones to choose from, and the treats were indeed tasty.

Great photo story!

Rhissanna said...

Thank you so much for a lovely tea!
I'm sure Bilbo would approve (as long as we don't break the plates or bend the forks) In fact, it would be nice to see Bilbo and Alice share their adventures, over tea. Dragons and griffins, Cheshire cats and grumpy wizards. A Goblin King and a Red Queen!

Thank you for inviting me!

Oh Denise, this is such a delightful post. I feel like I'm just another Alice, coming to your tea party in fairyland! :). LOVE LOVE your creative thoughts here. Glad to know you are doing well after the surgery. Yup, tea works wonders :). Hugs.

One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
