Come on in! So lovely to see you at this mad tea party! I’m lovin your style. You’ll fit right in here. Oh do let me introduce you to some of the other guests. They’re all here – the beautiful and the strange….
All a little mad and very happy to be….
I’ve tuned the radio to Music Box FM…it suits the mood perfectly I think.
And over there is the lonnnnnngggg table so that we can just keep moving along because, as the Mad Hatter said, “..it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles”.
Do please have a cake or two or three. Just say your cake wish aloud and with mad passion and voila it will appear!
Thirsty? Well just head over to the Tea Tree, pick a cup and a pot and whatever you wish for will pour out! Try it! It’s true!
It’s the Sweeties Race and look who’s pulling out in front. Yes it’s White Rabbit. Ooh you like him…he can be yours! Yes White Rabbit would love to live at your house!
Pass The Parcel! What fun! Keep movin it along there. But what’s inside the parcel? What’s the prize?
Why a pretty apron for the kitchen vamp in you.
Another game! It’s Grab The Tea Cup and Saucer Out Of The Tree! What! You’ve never heard of this game! Well it can be smashing fun! And you could be drinking from this little teacup and saucer very soon!
And after you’ve left your comment do go over and visit at A Fanciful Twist for a list of all the mad tea parties happening around the world today and to thank dear Vanessa for hosting this fanciful occasion! Also hop over to my shop for some bargains to help you remember this madness! Thank you dear friend for stopping by and pop back anytime….you’re always welcome!
Drum roll......and the winners are....Tatting Chic (the apron)...Renee from Circling My Head (the rabbit)...Julia from Verdigris Rose (the teacup)! I'll be in touch girls!

OOOOOOOOH...anyone of the delightful prizes would be so suitable in my mad house...mad because its full of shabby and roses and paints and colour...noone knows where to look first, and I have a chuckle each time someone new comes...wish I could share a cuppa with you at the tea party..., Thank you for a lovely Tea party arrangement on your blog!....its made me rush out for cake...see you...xx...

What a wonderful tea party! I love games, the tea was divine I grabbed a cup and it took me down the rabbit hole, but luckily I made my way back.
All those wonderful party hats! I wonder what kind of shoes they were wearing to go with them? If you hop on over to my tea party you might see~

Your tea party is wonderful ... the hats! the tea table! the yummy goodness! the tea pots! the tea cups! All divine!!!
AMAZING! I have enjoyed the party and only wish I had that lovely apron to wear now that we need to clean up....clean up? Let's just sprinkle some fairy dust to take care of that!
Wow!! This is mad, mad, mad! I'm loving it! And one of your teapots is very similar to one I have - the pink one, except mine is more a raspberry tone.
How magical! I'm having so much fun party blog hopping. So happy to discover the many wonderfully creative souls that have come to inspire and delight.
Hi Chrisy

WoW!!!! What a PartY!!! Loved it!! You're amazingly creative!!! Thanks for having us join your magic!***
(Have a little question - how do you get the photographs to have rounded corners like that?? I've been searching forever and can't figure out how to do it... I'm sorry for asking, but I really wanted to know and do the same on my blog, but don't know how to... Would u mind sharing ur secret with me? Thanks..)
What a lovely tea party! What lovely prizes!

Oh what a lovely party, I am afraid my hat isn't quite as grand as all your other guests but if I smile broadly I am sure they will not notice. I love the tea cup tree, we had something similar and I think it may be a new trend.
Thanks so much for the visit and for visiting me, it has been truly scrumptious!
Kiss Noises Linda
the teapot tree is brilliant.
alice is one of my all-time faves!
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter - swoon!
Oh what a perfectly mad tea partee, indeed! Thanks ever so much for the invitation!! And what lovely treats,too!! Hoooray!!
What a lovely tea party! I am so glad I came by. Your photos are so magical! Love your games too...
:)mendy
Oh I love a good teaparty. And that one was sweet. I have over 100 teapots so perhaps I should have a bloggy teaparty too. :0)
I think you covered everything! My faves is the tree with the teacups. Did you decorate it? I think it's just what this tea party needs - a tree with teacups as blooms :-)Do you think the mad hatter has it? Does that explain why he need not wash all the teacups cause after using them they'll just wilt like flowers. And then he'll just pluck some from the tree and continue the party :-)
What a LOOONNNGGG table that is! I love your teacups and decorations. And clearly, you know who to invite!
I don't think I ever read Heidi, but thank you for visiting my party and reminding me to read it! I've always meant to.
Such a fancy tea party! How divine!
Parties are always better on day theee..don't you agree?! Pip Pip!!
Chrisy, I'm in awe of you and your tea party! Complete wow-ness going on here. The collage, the music, the guided comments...overwhelmingly stylish and art-sy.
I have given you an award over at Oasis Writing Link (OWL)blog...which is quite subtle in comparison to this grand party...you are inspired. You don't have to post it, I just wanted to acknowledge you and send some readers your way! I also love your visits and comments.
THAT teapot tree...I love that abundant zippy concept! I will have to go over to check out your shop. <3
A bit late, I am, you see...my clock decided to let me be...and of course I have no sense of time, as I have been partying since early 2009. Thanks for visiting our little 'Mad' Adventure though and so glad I came by to see yours too! Your tale was wonderful and I love all of your images!
Jamie :)
Very tantalizing!
A very Merry Unbirthday!
