Mad Tea Party

Oh my, what an interesting surprise… a strange door just appeared in my yard and there seems to be something shining through the keyhole! What could this be? Curiouser and curiouser!  Come with me, let’s take a look and see what’s on the other side.

Quite intriguing, let’s take a closer look…

Doesn’t that look inviting? I think we should go in, don’t you?


So lovely, that looks like vanilla orchid tea! My favorite. Please sit with me, let's have some tea, I'm sure if we ask nicely they'll share that tiny cake with us. It is so nice here under the trees, such a magical spot and to think I didn't even know it was here!



Those little bottles are glowing and they have something written on them...



Do we dare? What do you think? Let's just take one home and see how it tastes...well, maybe not!

Thanks for having tea with me. It was a fantastical summer afternoon, sipping tea under the locust trees, behind a door that really should't be here while we wait for the sun to go down so we can visit with the strange and fascinating creatures that created such a magical place for us today.



I almost forgot...leave a comment and make sure you are following my blog and you could win this mini lace top hat. I'll draw a random winner on August 4th! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you to aFancifulTwist.com for hosting such a lovely day. Be sure to visit some of the other parties going on today, you can find more of them here. I hope to see you later

    What a delightful tea. I love finding strange doors that are not supposed to be, and sitting under locust trees for Delicious treats. I am so happy that you invited me.
    Please stop by for a Mad spoonful of tea... a little late of course, but we have opened the door now

    Wishes and Whimsy
