A Fanciful Twist's 8th Annual Virtual MAD TEA Party Extra special, as it is the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland ♥
Have you heard?
It is time for a party!
It is time for a party!
Not just any party, A Fanciful Twist's 8th annual Mad Tea Party!
Children, I am afraid you will be on your own this weekend. There is a function I can not possibly miss. There are connections to be made and recipes to learn. Not suitable at all for young children.
PARTY Time!!!!
Shine up your fanciest dress shoes
Shine up your fanciest dress shoes
Grab your quickest magical convenance
You want to arrive early as there is always great demand for the delicious treats.
What are your favorite dishes to find at a party?
Do you like dips, pastries, finger sandwiches or quirky or unusual fare like wild game, small country ethnic dishes, or snails?
I hear the finest chefs are bringing secret recipes.
The clock is ticking. What shall I wear?
I have heard there may be secret passages and short cuts between party locations.
I seem to remember special treats to make one grow and shrink as needed.
Now, how shall we begin our journey?
Which white rabbit should I follow?
I hope there will be directions along the way.
I am worried about those shape changing treats. I am imagining being made taller.
or BLUER
or made over NEWER
If I eat the wrong mushrooms
What if....
!!!!!!!!
confession: I love this doll
Then pop back over and thank Ms. Vanessa for the most wonderful summer party!
I'm looking forward to reading After Alice by Gregory Maguire. My Alice post is at http://www.spiritblog.net/?p=8805
ReplyDeleteI was not as excited about his Oz books but I am willing to give this one a try.
DeleteTHanks for hopping over to my party and making it right on time.... your gala event was so much fun... love the shape changing treats... Im afraid I can associate with the blue fairy all too well... have to try a skinny treat! have a great time at the fair.. Bye now! My Mad tea is at www.wingingwitheagles.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I love the little characters, and I accept your challenge to name all four….There's Polly Peanut Butter Head, Wendy Whipped Cream, Tawanna Toast, and Yolanda Yogurt.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your fair, and I hope you can come to my party when you get the chance. I'm hosting a fun giveaway, too (but not as fun as yours)…
Linking from A Fanciful Twist,
Happy Mad Tea Party!

ReplyDeleteI totally forgot it was Alice's 150th anniversary... In fact, I almost forgot the party. But I've shined my shoes, set up my uncanny brews and now I'm partying! Can you tell that I love the pic of those shoes? Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI got lucky. The cloud reflections were unintentional.
DeleteWell, I only know the name of the first movie pictured...it is Hocus Pocus. it was filmed in Salem, MA. I grew up in the next town over, lived in Salem a few times and now live just a few towns over.
ReplyDeleteI have got to try those snail cookies!
ReplyDeleteI recognized Hocus Pocus, and the Witches of Eastwick right off the bat. I think the other is Nanny McPhee.
thank you for dropping by for tea at the http://onesixthscaledollhouse.blogspot.com ! The dolls loved having you at the tea! And we love blog hopping!~gReat snail cookies and post! ThaT Mimi doll is priceless- I've been thinking of getting her and adding her to the herd. lol...~Lisa
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a fun Mad Tea Party weekend! One Alice-related book I read recently is, Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin. There's a link to the review on my party post. Hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sarah
That does sound like a very interesting book. Thanks for helping me discover a great new author.

How on earth did you get a picture of me in my fairy suit??? It appears I ate the wrong mushrooms. :) I love your tea party with all the wonderful giveaways! Let's see... I recognize Nanny McPhee Returns... and one of my favorite treats - Marshmellow Heart Tea, of course! Oh man, the gift shop - I wasn't expecting my style treats there! I LOVVEEE the turquoise I can do all things through Christ purse!!! It's now on my Santa wish list. I, too, am a bookaholic, or a new phrase I've read... a bibliophile... that sounds kind of creepy to me... I think I like bookaholic better! How about A New Alice in the Old Wonderland by Anna M. Richards? Thanks so much for dropping by for tea at my party, too!
ReplyDeleteGod bless and Happy Unbirthday to you,

Hi, Laura
ReplyDeleteMy! You must be channeling Alice with all of the giveaways! Okay. One of the movies is 'Hocus Pocus'; 'The Dragon of Cripple Creek' by Troy Howell has many Wonderland overtones as can be read by an interview on troyhowellstudio.com; The other movie is 'Witches of Eastwick'; and I like the Pink Super Bling Diamond Rhinestone shoulder bag purse and I am in the United States...Wow that was a mouthful to remember!
Loved your party! Great dolls, wonderful goodies, fun time!

ReplyDeleteHi, Laura
I love your party!
I recognize 'Hocus Pocus'; a random book 'The Dragon of Cripple Creek' by Troy Howell has Wonderland overtones; I like the Pink Bling Diamond shoulder bag purse in the shop and I live in the United States.
I don't know where my first reply went.
It was fun seeing the dollies and goodies. Thanks for all the Mad Tea Party madness!

ReplyDeleteIt is a unique tea party I have ever seen. Thank you very much for sharing the photographs. I like outdoor parties and the party places in the Bronx provide really great services. I always have excellent experience at the Bronx party spots.
