Your party was one of the most delightful tea parties that I've ever seen! I loved the champagne and dragonfly lights. Ooo, and I also loved the Mad Hatter figurine! Such a wonderful celebration!!!

I'm still cleaning up after my tea party, so feel free to stop by before it's all gone ;)

fawndear said...

So sorry I'm late. I've just escaped from my own mad party and I'm a bit backwards in all the sites I've visited.

Such yummy cupcakes and a wee Mad Hatter made my visit here so much fun. Thank you for saving me a seat.

Robin said...

So sorry that I'm late
For this very important date.
I'm still making my way down the list.
With too little time
I'm leaving this rhyme
For I'm adamant about wanting to persist.

This would be day three.....what can I say....I got lost along the way.

Champagin!...Prawn cocktail!.....my my how fancy.
All the same, I would love a glass of water......unless you happen to have another bottle of Champagne. ;-) All that running about has made me thirsty.
And my oh my Leo is quite the beautiful cheshire kitty.
Well, it's been grand making you stand, but I must be off before they call in the band.
Hope your day has been beautiful....
