Hello fellow dreamers!
Welcome to our 8th annual Mad Tea Party 🖤
Oops, looks like someone may have eaten the caterpillar!
Lovely meeting again, in that place where wishes flutter on the breeze of flipping book pages.
Where imagination is limitless and stories live on for 150 years and more.
Thanks to Lewis Carroll, we meet on this 150 year anniversary of Alice in Wonderland.
In 1865, a dreamer too, wrote a tale so inspiring and magical that it lives on and defines a part of our imagination in ways not even he could have imagined.
We clink to a magnificent tale and the man who thought it up 🖤
So that we could continue partying like it's 1865 year after year!
Generation after generation.
And so we plunge…
Into the mad tea party chapter.
Because really, what's anything without a little madness?
Sweets and treats.
Teacups stacked from here to there.
It's time it's time!
The light of golden hour flickers in…
As we gather right outside the fairy bower.
A perfect place to sip and munch before deciding to plunge through the arbor into wonderland.
Candy coated chocolates roll about the table.
As cakes call your name.
I thought the baby pig was cute, so I stole her from a previous chapter.
Who wouldn't want to gaze upon ruffled flowers and maybe swallow a cake or two?
Even pigs do.
Sparkles and petals and happy things galore.
Pretties and buttercream and sipping tea with striped strawers?
Little moon faces made out of sugar and edible glitter beg to be dunked…
In they go…
Swirling to and fro.
Then sipped for ultimate magical experience at any tea party.
(learn how to make your own here)
Petals float in tea cups.
Top hats get passed around.
Piggies eat cookies too 🙂
Stardust flutters about.
Even tiny edible stars turn up on queen cakes just for you.
We read aloud with great respect for sheer madness!
And then it's time for making wishes.
Wishes made in pennies and keys and sparklies.
Who knows, one might even come true for you?
Note that, the one activated wish on the bottom right is not photoshopped.
Hmm, perhaps it's yours?
Yes yes, it must be!
Golden light casts its spell…
As the clock strikes…
Time for you to decide if you will stay and have tea or venture further into your dreams?
Anyone willing to go first?
Oh, here we go, first brave soul.
In he goes…
Wonder what his wish would be?
And what he thinks he might see?
The question is, will you follow?
And what do you hope to find?
We'll be here waiting to hear your tales.
Sloshing our tea about.
Nibbling until our buttons pop.
Laughing until we have to lay on the ground holding our bellies.
Dreaming forever and more if we can.
We'll rhyme and joke and confuse everyone who stops in.
Which of course, you know you're welcome to stop in any time, don'tcha?
Morning, noon, night, we'll be here.
Yes yes, right here.
Ready to fill up your cup.
So never fear, someone just like you is always near.
A dreamer, a whimsian, a tender hearted imaginarian.
Waiting to mad tea with you.
So glad you came and could stay and so hope to see you again.
Hoooooray!
Hooray for believing no matter what anyone says.
I believe, this is one thing I know to be true.
And, I have a feeling, so do you!!
Just like our friend, Lewis Carroll.
Happy 8th annual mad tea party my friends!!
Thanks for joining in, either by hosting your own event or being a lovely guest.
It's always so much fun because of you! 🖤
Lots of love, Vanessa
Feel free to visit past parties here.

It is such fun being a whimsian with you! (Great word!) I enjoyed all the pretty and magical treats and am now off to make a wish. Thank you for hosting such a lovely party!

Oh my such magical fun! This is my first year joining your fabulous tea and imaginary fun is so special to me!! 🙂 I had so much fun pretending I was mad and playing in the garden! Your tea is absolutely fabulous and I can’t stop looking at each and every picture. I see more whimsy in each and every glance. The pig, the clocks, the rabbits, the teacups, I could go on and on. Love the sugar shapes and I can’t wait to try making some. Thanks so much for this delightful party! Can’t wait to come back tonight and delve into a wonderland of posts!

Oh, Vanessa, your tea party is truly magical for every time I visit I cry. I’ll walk through your heavenly garden a dozen times, and I know I’ll always find something new and inspiring …like the word whimsian, perfect for Little Prince, furry bloggy to this much too tender-hearted imaginarian.
Thank you for hosting another mad tea, love.
I dub you Queen of Fancy. tu-tu-tu

Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa. Starting the day with your Mad Tea Party is like extra insurance that the day is going to be special and enchanting and divinely delightful!
Your tea table is a wonder in itself. Though I love what you write (always,by the way), it’s the pictures you set up and take that really leave me gobsmacked. Such are the makings of wonder and amazement.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do all that you do to make this a special day. You create a delightful world for so many people ~ you’re like the Mad Tea Party Faery Godmother! And I thank you for allowing me to be part of it.
I hope you can take time to visit my (much Much MUCH less elaborate tea party, and enter into the giveaway contest for the special White Rabbit charm pendant!

Happy 150th to one of the most cherished books of all time!
Vanessa, your magical world of whimsy enchants us each year. Thanks so much for hosting! The Mad Tea Party is one of the highlights of our summer. This year my girls and I laughed, giggled, and celebrated my youngest daughter’s 18th birthday. As they were growing up, we had at least one or two tea parties peer month, and each one had a theme that one of the girls picked. We relived one of those this past week.

Today is the day! What a magical day! The colors! The bunnies! The sheer beauty of your table! I love it all. Your table never ceases to make me marvel!
Having seen your table, I’m off to bake scones and make some tea to share with a friend who is visiting. I feel today will be a magical day for me.
I brewed a different kind of tea party this year. It is fun to try new things! I hope you’ll enjoy coming by.

An absolute delight, as always! (Can’t believe I almost missed it!)
Your party is just enchanting, and as life has been rather serious lately, this little diversion came along at the perfect time. I didn’t have time to paint anything for a giveaway, so figured I’d offer a little Alice print instead:

You party pretties are fabulous! What a wonderful way to kick off the annual tea party! I’m looking forward to visiting everyone. Thank you for hosting this. I’m sure no one could possibly have a more fabulous display than the one I see here — but I bet a lot of us will try!

Hooray – I’m here! And so excited to join in the fun. And especially excited to see you sharing the history of this fun book. Did you know you can have a tea party all around the world? Including on some cruise ships, trains, and even an airplane or 3? I had fun learning and sharing that for this great party. Have a lovely day and week with all sorts of tasty treats for eye as well as tummy! And thank you, Vanessa, for all your hard work on making this such a treat for us all!

So gorgeous. I love checking out all the Mad Tea Parties every year. Thanks so much for doing this. Someday I may get brave enough to contribute my own!
Oh so lovely! I am so happy to be joining all of you again this year. It’s such fun. Thank You for inviting me, I really had a most wonderful time. And oh yes, I mustn’t forget the most important thing of all. A wish for you.a very merry un-birthday to you Vanessa. I shall enjoy the celebrations all week long!

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh my gosh. It’s all so magical and no kidding, the pig made me laugh super hard. I about lost it when I saw that cute little creature. Maybe it’s my gluttonous totem animal? LOL. ‘;)
Thank you for including me on the fun and here’s the link to my party. You know me, I’m all about the DARK side of things, so it’s “Wonderland After Dark” and how the party gets started after the fairy tale is over. ‘;)

“And a wonderful time was had by all!” as they say. 🙂 I always love visiting here, and Mad Tea Party Day is a most magical time to sit and drink it all in, both literally and figuratively! Thank you for another lovely visit.
What a GORGEOUS tea party! I wish I could live in it forever! Thank you for sharing all your whimsy with us – you’re an amazing hostess! I cannot wait to visit every party!
Sugar-coated hugs,

Here is my Boho-themed tea party…perhaps it will attract a certain hookah-smoking caterpillar…? 🙂

Thank you so much for hosting this magical party, Vanessa! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous! My girls and I were excited to join you this year! We all had a blast!
Here is my lovely party:
http://cherishingasweetlife.blogspot.com/2015/07/chapter-1-down-rabbit-hole.html
Oooo! I’ll make a wish on that bright shining light. Making wishes is so magical!
Your party was delightful, glorious, whimsical, with yummy treats too many to choose from!
And many thanks we owe Lewis Carroll for his timeless tale of Wonderland. We all need an excuse to be ‘mad’ and to have tea and treats at the same time!
Thank you for this eighth Mad Tea Party. Where does the time go? Or maybe we are ageless after all and time doesn’t really matter. Maybe when we turn an hour glass upside down we are really moving backwards? ‘The door mouse is talking backwards’ as The Jefferson Airplane sang years ago. Maybe that is what Wonderland is all about, in a world of upside down and going backwards in time. That suits me just fine.
Anyway, it’s good to have a day to just relax and go to bloggers’ mad tea parties all day long (well, almost all day long!)
Thansk again for the wonderfully frabulous time!
XO with sugar and spice and everything nice!
Miss Teresa

Thanks again for hosting another lovely tea party. I made some new treats just for the event! http://mannm.blogspot.com/2015/07/mad-tea-party-2015.html
It is always wonderful at your place!
Great tea parties, everyone!
I didn’t throw one of my own, but have enjoyed visiting the parties of others.
So much fun and magic, Miss V! I totally want to make those sugar cubes with my babies!!!!!
Always a fun and magical time, Miss V.! Going to make those sugar molds with my babies!!!!
What a delightful way to use all your fun dishes and props!
Coming back to say I am having such fun with this amazing tea party. It seems everyone has outdone themselves and I so appreciate all the hard work.
Sooo fun…

THANKS for the party.
I’m definitely a dreamer and a whimisian.😊 Lady V, I’m sorry to be late,your Tea Party is as beautiful, magical and wonderful as always.
Oh my Magical Muse, I lovelovelove it all. You are the Master Stage Setter. As seen through the eyes of The New Age Hippie. All is sparkly and twinkly bright in the Mystical Land of Vanessa.
All my love to you,
Deborah
I’m having such fun visiting some of the party goers. I didn’t have tea at my house this year and now I’m sorry. I knew that would happen! Thanks for having me at your house and garden. Sweet fairy hugs, Diane
As usual your party was fantastic! I totally missed the time of year to check your blog, I do not visit here often enough, for shame. Anyway I would played in, if I had known, especially if I had known it was the 150th anniversary of the book, which I have yet to read. I have read shortened versions in kids books that leave out most of the details. I ‘ve watched the disney movie a few times. I have enjoyed being a part of this blog hop 4 times. You never cease to amaze me!
Hugs, Susan from Pieces of Fate
My comment did not come up. I totally missed out this year, mind on other stuff. As usual your party was grand! I would have loved to play along this year, especially being the 150th anniversary of the book (which I did not know). Loved it all, you never cease to amaze me!
Susan
I just wanted to come back and thank you so very much for hostessing this wonderful party. This is the first year I have joined and Ive had so much fun I am already looking forward to next year.
Always a delight Vanessa!!!! Never disappointed! Love that piggy!;) Cheers to you and all your party participants!! Amazing to think 150 year Anniversary!!! Party on……<3
I’ve been thinking about it and there are so many postcard worthy shots in here. You need to cherry-pick the best ones and put them in your etsy account. I need some more cuteness to send my Gma. I know she’d love seeing this entry. ‘;)
Beautiful, Magical, Whimsical deliciousness once again, my Dear Vanessa! Loving this partying like it’s 1865! Alice will live on and on in the hearts of little girls, no matter their ages!:)
Thank you once again for being a most gracious hostess…
XOXO

Thank you for hosting this event. For my first time to the party, I think I did a good job. I just finished all my hopping! It takes awhile. Thank you again, and good luck with my giveaway!
Yay! Your tea parties are always amazing, but I especially love the soft color palette this year. Everything is so lovely! I am sad I couldn’t participate, but I have been out of town. Happy tea partying!
A few weeks I go I saw your invite post and was inspired to read the book with my boys, and my bestie and I decided to host a Mad Tea Party with our friends. A few of the families also read the book on their own or with their kids, and we had a blast coming together for the Tea Party. I wasn’t able to participate on the day of your virtual “Tea Party,” but just wanted to let you know that this all wouldn’t have happened had I not seen your invite some time ago. So, thank you! http://www.justanotherdaywithkids.com/2015/07/14/150-years-of-alice-adventures-in-wonderland/

Dear Miss V,

Your post is exquisite! I wish I could live in such a place! Although I am not sure that I would do anything other than eat cakes and drink tea all day long!!
I found you through one of your participants and now even late, I shall still have a look at at the other beautiful and Curious bloggers posts!!

I want to thank you for hosting this magical tea party. It allowed me to have fun creating a Mad Hatter’s Tea party with my granddaughters. They spent the night and day before the party happily crafting and creating, and the memories we have of this time are for their lifetime.
Love love love it all. Good job Vanessa
Oh Vanessa, you ALWAYS bring a smile to my face. Truly. Life has been tough lately. I needed this. “Because really, what’s anything without a little madness?” I love this line you wrote. 🙂 The pig is adorable, yes. You know what also made me smile and chuckle, Matty, on his way through the arbor. Adorable. Thank you for inviting me to the best party to which I have ever been. xoxoxo Jen
Wonderful tea party. I know there has to be some tea leftover.
Beautiful party once again <3 Too bad I couldn't join this year....
Oh Vanessa, everything looks soooo beautiful!!! I so wanted to join in on the fun this year but circumstances dictated otherwise. 🙁 But I ALWAYS ENJOY SEEING YOUR FANCIFUL CREATIONS!!!! Your blog is eye candy for the soul!!!
