What do we have here, a key?
But whatever could it fit?
A very large door?
Or maybe
a very small door
Oh, we must hurry inside,
A storm is coming.
You know what can happen with those storms
We could be caught in a whirlwind and end up in Oz
(but not today)
Safely inside
Look at the lovely teacups
and all the goodies!!
Oh, look,
Something Good to Eat
I am quite hungry
Please, do make youself at home
Have a look around at all my little goodies
A picture of Grace is watching every move
Do you like cupcakes?
We have made a bunch
Chocolate
Vanilla
Sprinkles
Or without
Help yourself
Welcome to our house for a Mad Tea Party!
Some cupcakes made by the Hatter himself
These blue cupcakes are delicious!
No, pink cupcakes are better
Pink is always better
This is how you eat a cupcake
But, would you
happen to have any juice?
Why yes, we do have juice.
A most delicious juice,
Made special by the Mad Queen herself
A very special
Very exquisite drink
"For you, my dears" thought the Mad Queen
Here, let the Hatter
pour us some of this delicious elixir,
I'm sure it will quench our thirst like nothing else.
A little for you
A little for me
Just the thing we need
Alice, dear.
Ah, can't wait to try this lovely punch.
I'm sure it will taste quite delicious.
Here goes,
So yummy
Ah, so good
I must drink all of it
I am so thirsty!
The Hatter says,
"Only a drop will quinch your thirst, Alice Dear."
"Only a drop."
"I am going to drink the whole thing,
you silly Hatter!"
"Cherry Limeade is delicious!!"
See, all better now
Now we can eat some more of those delightful cupcakes!
Instead, how about some homemade chicken salad
"You two have had quite enough sweets for awhile"
Said the Mad Queen
"But Mama, I'm really digging these cupcakes..."
"Just one more, pretty please?"
Oh NO!!
What's he doing underneath the table??
Looking for crumbs, I suppose
Oh dear, I don't think there are any crumbs left
Seems as if this party is winding down
Bellies are full of sweets and yummy stuff
Maybe a little nap
Will be in order
It is summertime after all
And what better way to spend a
Hot Summer afternoon then
Taking a nap and dreaming of cooler days

What a precious White Queen and Mad Hatter, they added so much fun to the party. I loved their outfits, smiles, and sparkly eyes as they eagerly dove into the treats.
You my dear are super generous. Wow. Such a fine gift. Please drop my name in the hat and I'll cross my fingers.

Making memories for your beautiful guests, memories that will stay with them forever, I just know it.
Your pup has the most soulful face I have ever seen!! I fell in love.
I personally would adore some chicken salad, and then I'll take some cupcakes froted by the hatter himself, what skills!!!
Thank you for a beautiful visit!!
