For four nights, while floating through dreamland, the same wonderful Mad Tea Party thought came to me. But, it requires your help…
Were you at the Mad Tea Party this year? If so, I need a little favor, pretty please, with cherries on top? What I need from you is your direct link to your Mad Tea Party 2009 post.
I want to create a spot on my blog, with all your links to your Mad Tea Party Blog Posts. Of course, I have all the links to your blogs, but not to the parties specifically.
Please leave your link to your party blog post, right here in comments, so I can have them in one place. If you have any issues with that, you can of course, e-mail it to me ;) I will then get started building a special page just for your party post links.
I will leave the first comment below, in this post, with an example of what I am asking for.
I was going to start visiting everyone who attended and searching for the Mad Tea Party posts in your blogs myself. But after 3, I realized it would take me an enormous amount of time to do so. Like, an eternity… (wonderfully, there were almost 300 of you who participated, which is why I need your help)
So, I am asking you for this wee favor. That way, people can visit your links directly to the party, throughout the year. Wouldn't that be marvelous? We think so, and we thank you in advance, kindly 😉
Sooooooo, that's the question/favor. I can't wait to build a special Mad Tea Party Victorian Mansion {of the imaginary variety} to house all your party links…
In other news.
It has been cloudy. Yummy, cloudy perfection. I long for cloudy days in this sun laden place. A perfect day to roam around my boudoir, tidying up…
A moment for sitting in my chair, which is so cozy and perfect for day-dreaming…
The truth is, I can't show you the other side of my boudoir today 🙂
It looks like it was in an earthquake. I truly don't know how it happened. Probably because I am like a little creature, bringing things from the city house to the country and vice-versa. Never ending back and forth. My Mom wanted me to send a picture of the crazed room to her phone. She thought I was exaggerating.
After she saw it she said, "My love, what happened??? If my room looked like that, I would be forced to just go to bed."
HAHA! She is so funny. Mind you, she would never go to bed until it was sparkling clean.
I had a tea party while tidying up, so it looks 100 times better. And maybe one day, it can have its photograph taken again…
For now, a little more of this is in store before I get to work today…
I am hoping the clouds stay a little longer…
As for my little giveaway ~ two names plucked from the hat look like (wave the wand), PRESTO CHange-o…
Miss Pattie and Miss Gillian!! Yipeeee Yay! (please send me your addresses you lovelies!)
Now, I must thank you for being so truly kind to me. My new camera (after speaking to 13 people at Sony) is on its way to UPS to make a journey to the camera doctor. Dealing with Sony, not fun. But, hopefully my gal will be working soon. I think the shutter is getting stuck, personally…
I have been using my other Sony, that has been cleaned and serviced, and did okay with the last 4 photos above, me thinks ;)
So, blogging ensues! 😉 😉
Do have a spot of tea and a wee chat with us before you boogie on outta here…
Oh and, please don't forget to leave me your link to your Mad Tea Party Post, thanks oodles! xoxo
🖤,V
ps: Next time, I must tell you about an incredible documentary I can't get out of my head…
Hi there, here is an example of what I need from you. Thank you ooooodles!!
This is a direct link to my Mad Tea Party post – I just cut and paste mine right into this comment box.

YAYAYAY!! That’s fabulously brilliant, and I’m so glad you’re going to do that, because as you know Mr. Teal Boots is my main man and keeper of MY HAPPY PLACE, and I often wish i could see the other tea parties too, from that 1st partay, without digging thru comments and clicking on names but then i always wind up back at that flikr anyhoo, and that table and those colors and the ribbons and the treats and the sparkle and the shimmer and magic and and-
oh. sorry 🙂

Hi there sweet V!
I just posted a link on my blog about blogs that I can’t miss and yours is at the top (read about it here: http://treasures-found.blogspot.com/2009/08/jadorele-cirque.html)
Here is my Tea Party Link..great idea!
http://treasures-found.blogspot.com/2009/06/mad-tea-partyand-extra-giveaway.html
You are always so much fun! Love and hugs to you and your sweet Mister Lovee too!
Enjoy the day…xo

The Mad Tea Party idea was so fun. I’m so glad Brandi Milne posted about it, which is how I discovered you. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to promote and participate as well. I sure enjoyed visiting others’ sites and can’t wait until you have the full list up with direct links so that I can check them all out.
The main reason I wanted to comment, however, was to just let you know how much I covet your red chair. If it suddenly goes missing, please do not come looking for it in Kansas City. I’m sure I will no absolutely nothing about its whereabouts! 😉

Oh Yay!!! How much fun!!! I missed so many of the Mad Tea party’s that day as because I had to attend a wedding. Next year I’ll be glued to my computer morning, noon, and night. Sweet hubby will have to fend for himself ;-O.
Miss Fanciful One, you are so sweet to do such a lovely thing and provide year round tea for for we. Oh! I just picked up a new copy of “Artful Blogs.” Lovely indeed!!!

Here’s my link. I also had it linked directly on the side of my blog so future visitors can go straight there, too.
This is an excellent idea! Although I didn’t have one, I visited your blog for the first time because of the mad tea party. I followed the lovely links, but I lost track, then they were gone. I’m sure I missed some. So glad you are doing this.
Great idea gorgeous girl! My Mad Tea party link is here:

And thank you ever so much again for hosting the party!!! It was grand, indeed. In fact, I had such fun making the Mad Hatter doll I designed for my party that when I get a spare moment, I am going to carry on. The Hatter needs an Alice after all, and a Cheshire Cat, and …. oh … so much more!
🙂
I’ve just come over to you from another blog and Wow!I’m blown away by your talent! I’ve only just started my etsy shop of themed card sets, based on classic stories like Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz, but you have an absolute art gallery’s worth of beautiful, quirky art! I love all of it, and all your photos, and your boudoir. Completely divine and inspirational! You’re going straight on my blog roll! Wendy xx
Hi Vanessa,
What a great idea! To have a place for all the Mad Tea Party posts.
Once again thank you for hosting such an event 🙂

Eeek..I received a new Sony (my second) for Christmas and haven’t had too many problems..just some clouding. Crossing my fingers I never have to contact any tech people. Hope yours gets fixed nice and quick and that your summer has been a good one (it’s been a busy one here)!
