Vanessa's Mad Tea Party (of the Costume variety!)

I'm Late I'm Late for a very important date! Ok so I made sure I was late so I could open with that line, silly sense of humour here.... Well the very important date is Vanessa's Mad Tea Party! Make sure you check out her incredible party, it is SO much fun, a feast for the senses!

Welcome to my little part of it...
What mad tea party would be complete without a mask?
With beautiful peacock feathers no less!
And pure silver glitter
The table is set, chandelier is twinkling....
Hi there! I'm your host! Hiding behind a fun feathery foofy fan

Would you like some tea?
It's flowering tea of course!
Yes, best hide behind that mask....
You might like a cupcake?


The ballerinas came to the party too, they're dancing and twirling away on top of cupcakes...


And little Miss Princess here is being quite contrary - she doesn't want to share her cupcakes. She won't let go of the one on her lap. AND notice she has another three stashed away under her mushroom?! Naughty little girl!



Even the birds and love birds came out to play. Just don't eat that bit of cake underneath them... I wouldn't recommend it personally....
Hope you had fun at the party! Be sure to visit all of Vanessa's party friends all over the world by clicking HERE and clicking on the names on her sidebar.

Enjoy your day!

PS. My Father in law is doing better - he might be out of intensive care on Friday and in the general hospital ward for a couple of weeks after that. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they are working! xo

Hey Natasha, I have to tell you that i was a little worried when you didn't show up at the party at first, so I am very glad to hear that your FIL is still doing better! Wish him best from me too, it must be good to realize that I don't now how many women and girls are thinking of him!
You look so cute in your waitress uniform, though the starrole is for Miss Princess of course. I like the table setting and all pink and shiny lovelies. I still like those ballerina's, have to order them one time too!
Have a fabulous party over here and when you are tired of pouring in tea, you can visit my place...
Have a nice weekend!
