Sweet Treats: A Mad Tea Party, 2011

 Welcome to my Mad Tea Party! My party last year was so much fun, I had to host another. 

So, thank you Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist for the wonderful inspiration and tea party hopping.

 My Valentines paper heart garland came out to visit. Along with a few old frames and shutters.

 Little lemon muffins topped with chocolate frosting, polka dot sprinkles and maraschino cherries...

my 3 year old pilfered all but two of them.

 

  Fancy that, a colorful bag of marshmallow stars, and a few clock gears

would serve as the cake's decoration.  

 Mr. Rabbit, who made his debut this year on the Easter mantel, is mighty jaunty in his WWII medal.

 

 These roses were the perfect pinky shade of coral, with such large, open blooms.

I simply couldn't resist. If no one else will buy you flowers, I dare say, buy your own.

I hope your blog visit was sweet and that you stay a while and visit often. 

If you held a tea party, please link your party in the comments. Let next year's preparations begin!

You are So Invited

Well, at least you would be invited if I had thrown this absolutely stunning party. I found it at Mrs. Blandings. through the extraordinary talent of David Jimenez. The only complaint I have is that I am not sitting at a chair in front of that amazing cake. I mean, can it be anymore amazing? (chandler bing voice there)

Would it not be fun to make a virtual party? We can pick a theme and colors, then everyone is assigned something to photograph (balloons, lightening, cake stand, fancy chair, cakes, place setting, flowers, table, yourself in a party dress...) Send them to me and I will create the final collage image of the party, similar to my last post of the dining room. What do you think? Any volunteers? I would love to have about 5 or 6, but the more the merrier, and you will be credited for your photo. That way, we can all have a party together! Comment or email me if interested.
