Thanks for stopping by and I hope your Mad Hatters Gigs went splendidly! Mine went off with hardly a care... please stop in and have a cuppa!
Coffee, tea or -- ?
Amy arrived first and we had a wonderful time catching up. She made her entire Victorian outfit which includes her "Mad Hat".
T in a Boy Scout Uniform... what a card -- yep, a WILD card.The others soon showed. Everyone loved THE MAD HATTER centerpiece -- who wouldn't?!
Well maybe Kitty Boy wouldn't.
A nice table with cheese biscuits; French cocoa balls; cucumber and mint butter sandwiches, T's curried chicken sandwiches; Roasted Rosemary Pecans. Lemon Curd, Apricot preserves, and Strawberry Jam for the Crumpets. And the ubiquitous Earl Grey and Constant Comfort as well as other teas. (Java for me, please!)
Dale pours the tea -- she was the guest of honour (her first tea here in Athens with Our Rowdy Bunch) and that's one of the responsibilities and privileges they take on. Dale is actually SMALLER than Yours Truly. I feel like a giant lumbering sloth beside her.
Teresa and Kitten having a heart to heart chat, playing catch-up. I'm so fortunate to have this handful of trueblue friends. I hope you have this type treasure in your life, as well.Some of Kitten's journalings...
More of the Gang. Tammy (back to us) brought me an incredible find you'll see another day! This is one of my fave things to do... host little teas and such so My Live Action Dolls can get together without the guys or the kids, leave behind the cares and worries of each one's particular world and just have a relaxed afternoon, strengthening the bonds of friendship.
Amy and Your Hostess with the Mostest... don't I look like I am about to keel over? LOL! Well, a late night and an early and very full day to pull off the 2nd Annual Mad Hatter Tea Party is the combined culprit for that zoned out expression! But a great time was had by all.
I indeed made everything but the teas and the breads. Many thanks to T for the rest of it!
I hope your own party was as fun. And yes, this is the last party of the year... I think.
Oh wait. Maybe not....!
