THE TEA PARTY
A MAGICAL GARDEN holds
intrigue.....
fairies....
clocks...
rabbits...
tea....
and loads and loads of SWEETS.......

"LOOK.....over there.....behind the big red HEART...

It IS....
jumping up and down...clapping...getting another tea cup for THE RABBIT......
Of COURSE they do....
"Where....O....where is the
QUEEN OF HEARTS....???
We're waiting for her....
WAITING.......WAITING....WAITING......
=
SHE'S LATE....
...ahhhh....she's arrived...
The RABBIT is here...the MAD HATTER is here....
WAIT.....
WHAAAAT......??.....Where IS the MAD HATTER....??
Well....now HE'S late...
Is THAT him....??

"WHO is THAT ??
A tiny little, beautiful FAIRY GIRL....???
Oh, how I love the little fairy girl,
DEIDRA...
I know for a fact there's FAIRIES in the area....
I've seen them with my own eyes....
Fairies love tea parties, too...
...all the little lights above....
FAIRIES....looking for a TEA PARTY.
there's one now....
"Sugar Plum Fairy"
How adorable that he came to attend this
UN-BIRTHDAY TEA,
riding on the back of a beautiful
WHITE DEER.....
"COME RIGHT IN...there's room for ALL"
RED VELVET FAIRY SHOE...
"It's TIME......."
LET'S GET THIS PARTY GOING....
SO SO SO many treats for this MAGICAL TEA...
I'm so glad you came to our party...
SUCH A LOVELY PARTY...
SOMEDAY, I would loooove going to a TEA like this...
BUT....
IT MIGHT BE ....
NOTE !!
I am here to be WITNESS TO THE FACT that it is
GOOD FOR THE SOUL
to be GROWNUP and act SILLY sometimes
and to
fall into fantasy
every now and then !!!
THANKS so much for letting me "act out" such fun fantasies ....I had a blast playing in photo editingwith all my photos....
I did all this over a 2 week period....i loved every minute of it.....
and PLEASE, if I got this classical story wrong....
like....OH, I don't know....maybe we need to get smaller to go thru the DOOR
instead of the RABBIT HOLE...
bear with me...it's been a long, LONG time since I was with
ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
:>)
Love your tea party.

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post! I was very impressed with your knowledge of the story...you brought it to life! What a lot of work...glad that you paced yourself! If anyone could sneak Johnny in, it would be you!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you got it wrong...because, now sit down for this....I have never read it. Never saw it. I am OUT of the LOOP!
ReplyDeleteBJ, it's obvious you had a grand time creating this party, and I had a grand time scrolling down with each new goodie. Darling post full of fun, fun, fun. Glad you decided to play this year. I always enjoy the parties, but haven't created one myself in many years. Wish I had!
ReplyDeleteI'm over-the-moon by your delightful twist on Wonderland, BJ! The 'ladder-ette' in Pix #1 is adorable -- did you do the stenciling? Bet-cha did! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Party Day! :) I do hope you will come visit my little tea party and Giveaway! FairyTalePhotoArt.com

You can never get any "facts" wrong in your own magical imaginings.
ReplyDeleteYour hatter does bear a resemblance to a certain Jack attending my party...

ReplyDeleteYour delight in photo editing shows in the wonderful pictures and you are quite right, it is important and delightful to cast off being a grown up and take pleasure in child-like things again. Thank you for inviting me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the delightful treats and tea.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed myself.
What a magical post! Your photo images are just beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
What a fun tea party! My girl Noelle has a Mad Hatter tea party hat. She won first place in a contest at a friends bridal shower a few years ago! LOL! Come back to Colorado, I know a terrific Tea Shop you would love to visit near Colorado Springs and a mountain hideaway tea parlor! I hosted a little tea party last summer. Hotter thna a pack of jalepeno chili peppers outside but my sweet girl Noelle has a covered patio and we had a blast. My three girls and my friend Bonnie B.who is mama to Markus, Hannah's ex (sniff sniff boo hoo) Sigh! I go hog wild with giving when I do a tea party. LOL! But boy do we have fun! I need to get moving and exchange tea cups with sweet Francie at scented Cottage. She is my tea crazed blogging buddy! HeeHee! I love anything to do with tea. Hugs to you and all these sweet photos you shared.
ReplyDeleteI love tea! Your drink me bottles are adorable. Can I have one of those muffins please?
