Sweet Treats: A Mad Tea Party


I've followed the white rabbit to join in A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea Party of 2010.
Please have a cup of marshmallow topped hot chocolate, and a
cherry topped confetti filled cupcake or two.


No matter if you are late to the party, there's plenty to see and join in next year! Dress up in your shabbiest rhinestones, grab a chunky, rusty key and join a magical party filled with sugary sparkles...
 

 ...then make a wish on your magical teapot... saying, "friendship warms the heart"...

 

...and feel yourself be whisked away to the little Wonderland party of sweets...


...where candied cherries are the sweetest you've ever tasted,


and only the the most magical of jellybeans makes it to the table.



Here's a little tiara for you to try on...


...or you can tuck a sweet pink rose in your wild hair.


Now who broke my clock? It doesn't matter, chocolate covered, sprinkled 
pretzels makes all of those worries go away for now.

 

So, that is where that key went! What a lucky cupcake!


Marshmallows for tasting, or soft enough for throwing.


Sparkles everywhere you turn! 
Which is your favorite, the candies, cakes... or the jewels?




Even the glittery pink cake had a fun time dressing up in some sparkly, vintage jewels.



Crystal chandelier prisms hung from the cake stand adds a whimsical touch.


Well, at least the teapot dressed in a rhinestone necklace for the party.


I wonder where the other rhinestone earring has gone? 
 

Who needs earrings, when you can have crystal prisms!


Sweet peaches... for those needing a natural sugar treat.


Hold on to the key and it will take you back home.



Farewell, friends! I hope you had fun with the party!
I will update the grand list of parties to visit once they are all compiled.


But for now, it's time to be magically whisked back to reality and get some rest.


If interested, my handmade Alice inspired jewelry and the vintage dress seen in this post is available
for sale at my Jeweled Ambrosia shop in my Alice Section!

A Fanciful Twist: The Mad Tea Party


Tonight, I will be making cupcakes and treats in preparation for A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea Party this Saturday. I'm a little sad, because most of my little tea sets, garlands, fabric, trims, decorations, dresses and such have been packed in storage, but my lovely mother in law has a couple cute things I can use instead. I did squirrel away a few little treasures to use for this event, so we'll see how it all turns out (and if I can find them). It's funny, because I went to my favorite antique mall today to find a teacup and saucer to use, and saw so many Alice in Wonderland related treasures there. How peculiar!

Are you joining in on the Mad Tea Party? If not, do be sure to visit it Saturday, June 26th. Here is 2009's and 2008's. (photos are from A Fanciful Twist's 2009 party).

Love. Paper. Moon.



Oh handmade vintage weddings, how I love you. Especially the ones in autumn.
Seriously, if I could be a glamour bride for Halloween, every single year, I would.




 
 

So, I bring you Ebony and Andrew's 1920's art deco wedding as seen on Vintage Glam. Ebony also has an Etsy shop of similar  handmade art deco inspired goodies, Madame Chapman (at bottom of post). Wedding photography by Marzena Wasilewska


 
 

Ebony hand painted her teacups as wedding favors for her guests, Andrew hung the garland frames, and Ebony hand embroidered and arranged her art deco cascading bouquet. I truly adore their paper moon they made for their photography prop. Also, the beautiful bride's flawless finger waves and bridal wear is amazing in itself. Truly a stunning, yet simple wedding. I am now considering making a paper moon for the boys room...hmmm. What wedding type elements can be incorporated into your life today?
