Have you ever, I dare ask, ever, had a date with a Mad Hatter? A wonderful madman. The keeper to the one key that unlocks the gates to our "2nd Annual Mad Tea Party?!?"
He knocked my striped socks right off, whispered words, so perfect, why I could only share them with you. He said, don't be late! June 27th, Mad Tea Party, right here, like last year, only bettah!
Remember last year's Pre-Tea Party, and then the Mad Tea Party itself?
Whether you have a blog or not, you are invited to share in the party madness and visit here on the day of the party. If you would like to participate and be on the Mad Tea Partier list, you must have a blog that other partiers can visit (directions at the end of this post).
You can invite anyone you want! And guess what? You never have to leave the privacy of your own very merry unbirthday home!
You can start signing up now, leave a comment or e-mail me your link. I will get the list going right away, in my right sidebar.
The Mad Hatter said we would have a time like no other. All you have to do is, have a party on your own blog on Saturday June 27th, and we'll blog party hop along all weekend…
And with that, the Mad Hatter said he had to be on his way…
Oh Mad Hatter, I cried, I will miss you…
Just as he sped off, magic flew all about, it got tangled in my hair and I knew, this Mad Tea Party, was going to be wild fun!!
He said, don't forget, the theme song to the looming party is "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1865…"
Maybe, you will get a date with the Mad Hatter too? You know, there is more than one. Perhaps, your beau is part of the Mad Hatter Secret Society, and you don't even know??? 😉
Goodbye Mister Hatter I waved, see you on June 27th!!! (Oh, those striped legs, swoooooon)
Then he blew me a kiss, shaped like a tea cup, and said, in song, it's time to share your secret, your little secret place, the silly little secret…
"It's time…."
Sooooo, my silly little secret, which is quite fun to me, but might not be as exciting as revealing that I am really 432 years old and a white witch with ooddles of real magic 😉 – is that…
I have another place in this Virtual world, sitting right here, Through the Secret Keyhole… We can't wait for you to visit 😉
Where you might even see the Mad Hatter on any given day…
Oh, I can't tell you how I love excitement, and I hope you do too! Join the party if you can, and let's have a blast!!
Below is the official party banner you can pop on your blog to let others know, and below that, is the button. Simply click on it, and copy or save it to your files, and then pop it on your bloglette.
Wondering what to do if you sign up?
If you are signing up to participate in the Mad Tea Party, all you have to do are three things.
1) Share the flyer or the button on your blog as soon as possible. Link to this blog post, and I will add your name to the "Mad Tea Partier" list in my right hand side bar.
2) On the day of the tea party, June 27th 2009, please make sure to post a Mad Tea Party post of your own, on your blog, linking to me. Other partiers will be visiting you on that date.
3) Blog hop with the other partiers on the day of the event and have a mad blast!! Again, the list of Mad Tea Paty Participants is in the right hand sidebar.
Note: Please make sure you post a tea party post on June 27th if you signed up. Last year several people did not do this, and lots of partiers e-mailed me to ask why they were finding some blogs without a Mad Tea Party post. I didn't have an answer.
~ Now, I must be off to prepare my frock, for the 2nd annual Mad Tea Party, which is always of the costume variety…
🖤,V
ps: PLEASE e-mail me if you want to be on the list, have asked me to add you, and you don't see your name on the list. Also, let me know if you want your name off the list. I know I am bound to make a mistake or two, so don't be shy, send me an e-mail, thank you!! 😉
pss: Have I told you lately how super wonderful you all are? Thank you for all the delightfulness you bring to A Fanciful Twist 😉
Please do count me in, The Darkling Woods is quite over due for a tea party!
Cheers my magical friend!
YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY
Oh gosh.
I think I m on EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD!!!
and wowweee-check out the Hatter!
Swooning. Im just swooning.
Ill be working on whipping up a blog so I can be ready for the grandest party of all!
Annnddd–your other blog is such a good sercret! I’m glad you shared! It was worth the wait! (that is the prettiest header, oh, just all the pix, just lovely)
TWO Incredible V to the V sites–and now TWO Hatters!
Talk about a lucky YEAR!!!
xoxoxoxo
Oh Yay!!!!!!! I am SO excited…you are so sweet to send me a little something. (I’ll email you my address)
And…of course, count me in for what I know is going to be the party of the year!
I wouldn’t miss it!!!
I will absolutely be a part of the 2nd Annual Mad Hatter Tea Party!!! I was not yet in the world of blogging until July of last summer so I had just missed the last one by a hair! I’m very excited about this one! Count me in 🙂
I am a kid’s events coordinator at a local independent bookseller. I wanted desperately to have a Mad Tea Party as my story time theme on June 27th, but it just didn’t quite work out. This makes me very happy that I get to give a local children’s band their “big break” and enjoy a delightful tea party too!! Hooray for having your cake and eating it too.
Mad Hatter is my ultimate FAVE! I swear, everytime I log in I’m BLOWN away!!! You’re awesome! I want to BE you! Or at least come over to play and dress up! Those tights, swoon is right!!
I’m soooooooooo there for the Mad Tea Party!! I missed last year’s, but this year I’ll be there with bells on.
Your new blog looks absolutely enchanting, and I can’t wait to see what magic you’ll post there!
Off to add the Mad Tea Party banner to my blog now….

I’m ready for the Mad Hatter Tea party! Count me in!. I just went over to your other place: Through the Secret Keyhole. Can’t wait to dive into this world too, as well.
Oh Vanessa how perfectly delicious!! Mr Mad Hatter is also a bit of a dish and I love those stripey legs!
I will of course be attending this glamourous event and will be working on my outfit posthaste!
How lucky is that Miss Rosey?? I do believe this is the third thing she has won from you! Lucky she is sweetness and light personified because she shared some of her postcards from you, with me! Lucky lucky me!!
Woohoo off to glitter up,

Maybe I’ll make a polymer doll for the festivities…I’m just getting into making altered dolls and it is so much fun! I’ll pass the word around about your Mad Tea Party to the ladies in the two doll workshops I’m a member of…and congratulations to those who guessed your secret…what fun! Count me in. You can see my two dolls that I’ve made if you belong to grittyjane.com Cloth and Clay doll workshops or Moss Hill Studio with JoAnnA Pierotti the Bella Doll workshop. They are both great instructors. Thanks Vanessa.

Oh how much fun. Saw all the beautiful pictures from last year’s party, and thought “Hmmmm…why am I always a day late…must get a new watch” And now,in an incredible twist of the universe, have arrived on time. It must be fate. Therefore participation is mandatory. The date, June 27 has been surrounded with magical rainbow colors and stars. The looking glass must be shined, and ready.
Until then, cheers and whimsical wishes.

Miss Vanessa! You and Mr. Lovee have indeed outdone yourselves! Those stockings, those SHOES!!!! You guys are so beyond perfect together!
I will of course be attending your latest soiree, as my Forest girls and Mr. Circus Keeper had such a Fab-O time last year!

In a redwood town with beach all around,
A Mad Hatter we did see, while riding a bike with a key.
The tones from the Grand Upright in this breezy town,
Held a baseman and the drummer brushen it all down.
And later this summer in the height of it all,
Will be a reunion of a Mad Hatter’s Ball.
And here by our mountain and community hall,
We gonna do a community play and share It with all.
Alice in Wonderland featuring a Mad Hatters Ball!
The ladies bringing the tea cups just to give tea a way,
And the Gentlemen in suits drinking loves way.
The children joining in with the cheshire grin,
Lights, nature summer time win.
All the bees are buzzing as we thank you 2,
And a moment guess where we are too?
GG Pinkster
Oh my! We’re all quite mad over here so please count us in!

Hi! my friends, I would love participate in your mad tea party!
count me in!
que bueno tu nueva fiesta, voy a poner el banner en mi blog! Y con Loli y Josefina planearemos el evento!
besossssssssssssss
I can’t WAIT! I keep coming back to see what’s happening next! How exciting!
Add em to the list Miss V! That’s my husband’s bday/our anniversary weekend but I’ll include a post whether I’m here or not:) Might be hard ti top last years hot air balloon..maybe there’ll be a Hot air balloon ride pt. 2:)hmm….
p.s. I have a request..I see the names listed no alphabetically..any chance you can list them A-Z or Z-A or at least number them for the event. The OWOH list was sort of a nightmare. The names of places visited get highlighted after you visit them but all that gets erased if you close your browser or shut down the computer so you can see where you left off..just thought I’d toss that out there:)
p.s.s.love the images of Mr Love in his coat and hat..I’d love to see what his reaction to that was..laughing? looking sideways to see if the neighbors were watching..lol.He’s a great sport:)
**can’t see where you left off…is what I meant to say
excuse the grammar errors today..I need some sleep!Enjoy the holiday weekend:)
I missed last year’s event, so I’m glad I’ve come by early enough to join in the festivites this year!
Lori
Oye Little Miss,
I thought I would never get all the Teddis rounded up to share the invitation. It was a unanimous vote (of course I knew it would be) we will all be at the party, from the littlest to the biggest!!! 🙂 Now the house is turned upside down as we maddly pull out ribbons,and lace, and wonderful magical fabrics to create our Tea Party frocks!! 🙂

Thanks and blessings, Amy
I’m new to you, but a friend told me that this is a party not to miss! I’d love to help you celebrate (I will have just celebrated mine) AND see what fantastic things are in store. Thanks! And Happy, happy birthday to you :).
Definitely sign me up if I am still in time to be in it.
Mr. Lovee is/looks wonderful and that costume is amazing.
And what is great about all this is that when Hubby walks by (and with a quick scroll on my part) it appears I am intently studying the details of a blog tea party instead of the well built Mad Hatter!!!
Oh Goodness!!! I still have time! I so enjoyed this little adventure last year and just can’t miss it this year.
Sign me up Miss V
Hugs!
Michelle
Oh I can’t miss such a delightful invitation. This week I posted my fairy godmother crown. Do swing by and check it out. I think she will be coming to the party. There is definitely magic brewing here and I’ll be sure to bottle it up for each of my guests.
Thank you darling for your wonderful hostessing. I’ll get the banner posted as soon as I get home tonight.
Weeeee!!!!!!!!!

Oh Yes! Please set a place at the table for me…I understand I may have to “Make Room”, get a clean cup and butter my watch…sounds like a great and mad time to me!
Count me in! Mad, Hats and all!
