Mad Tea Party 2010

Welcome to the big event, dear friends! We’re having a tea party today, to celebrate Vanessa’s third Mad Tea Party!

 

 

Some lovely creatures have come out to join us. Mrs. Squirrel gussied herself up and brought her young twins to the tea party.

 

Mr. Pig has donned a fancy bow.

 

Some hummingbirds flew in for the occasion.

 

A sweet birdie will serenade us from his tiny showplace.

 

Delectable treats, savory and sweet, have been made to entice the appetites of all of our honored guests. May I offer you some tea sandwiches, and a crab cake? Please have some buttery bread sticks, too! Our neighborhood birdies will serenade you while you dine.

 

 

We have desserts aplenty, please help yourself! Scrumptious homemade lemon squares, the yummiest brownies, and mouth-watering chocolate-dipped strawberries. Recipes can be found here and here.

 

We have some cheerful poppy plates to serve our fare

We'll pour you some delicious lemonade, in the loveliest shade of pink.

 

And of course, tea for all!

 
 

 

At the end of this post you can find my recipe for some delicious, healthful, homemade chai tea.

  

This hostess was so honored to receive these lovely flowers as a hostess gift, the beautiful lime green “Jade” roses. Such a thoughtful daughter!

 
 

 

We'll relax on the lawn, and nibble our treats.

Now I must go, as it’s time for party-hopping in the virtual world! I do hope that you have enjoyed our party today, and please visit the other delightful parties, also, at A Fancifiul Twist. Dear Vanessa, thank you so much for organizing these lovely tea parties for all of us to enjoy!

  

This Thursday, I'm also joining Susan for the 97th Tablescape Thursday. Wow, the 97th! Be sure to stop by, her table is fantastic!

  

Love to all,

Andrea

Andrea, how inviting was your tea party. I adore all the details. The pooy plates are great and the cabbage tea pot and cups are so nice. The food look yummy and all is nice decorated with lovely flowers. I felt in love with your white deck chair, which has on its arm rests so much place to hold a teacup. What a great idea. And at the end, your guests are very charming. Give my best greetings to Mrs. Squirrel and Mr. Pig and to those cute birdies, who entertained us with their songs.
Greetings, Johanna

Blizzard held out when the longest, but it was inevitable that they had to do something with two MMOs that coming out soon. However, there are too many restrictions to me that make this move overlooked for beginners. I already own every single EPs and have not played in a very while.
