More Tea... With Three?

This morning while out in my herb garden, I sensed someone present. Do you know that feeling? A bit creepy, it is.

I peeked out of the corner of my eye.

 

Then I heard, "tick tock... tick tock".

 

I saw the white rabbit, glaring at me...

That's when I remembered that I failed to include him in yesterday's "Mad Tea".

Oh, dear. Oh dear.

In the midst of my wedding planning and all,

It simply slipped my mind to deliver his invitation.

I quickly began gathering some chamomile flowers to brew...

 

When through the branches and leaves,

I could see

The rest of the crew!

""Hello, Alice and rabbit", I said with a smile!

"Is that you, Mad Hatter"?

"Please, do come on in...

It's been awhile"!

"I do hope that you all can forgive me", I pleaded.

There was a long silence.

"I am a newly wed, with my head in the clouds...

So, do join me for tea, it's very much needed"!

So Alice winked and gave me a grin.

The others followed

And one by one,

They came in!

Much of this story is very true.

It's been a crazy, busy Summer...

With so much to do!

I hope that you enjoyed yesterday's tea.

Have another cup today

And spend some time with these three!!!!

I created each character used in this post! Quick sketch, micron pen, one quick coat of watercolor on watercolor paper. The clay clock wasn't so quick! (the only baking that I did on that day)!

Cut, cut, cut!

Much enjoyed!

Tea time!

 

 

Tea Teasers...

Ooooohhhhhh, my head is filled with visions of polka dot tea cups and oversized hats.....

Fluffy frosted pastries, linens, banners, bows

And frilly placemats!

I shall jot down my ideas in my journal each day.

Starting Summer school this morning,

Not much time to play. (Whine, whine).

 

 

It's not all bad, really, it's not.

Half days only and Fridays off (after today)!

I must confess, I so love having the spending money.

Hey! How about another tutorial soon? Maybe we should draw a teacup together...

And paint it too?!!!!

Coming soon!

Have a blessed day!

 

Join Us For Tea?

I received a very special invitation today!

You are also invited.

It's been awhile... But I can still remember the fun that I had! Oh, my! I must start planning and pondering for the event. Everything must be just perfect, you see!

I have moved many times and many of my belongings remain in boxes...

But wait!

I think that I can locate that dress that I wore... Way back then.

Upstairs, downstairs, and to each room I peek. Ah ha!

My little vintage train case ( once belonging to my mother)!

Oh yes! Oh yes!!!!

I see that dress...

And also the tea set in which I had used!!!

I touch each piece, with a smile on my face. Finding lost treasures takes me back in time.

Yes, it's that time again and I am so grateful that my life is now settled and complete.

I will be a newlywed when this event rolls around!

I can unpack all of my lovely things, enjoy them again...

And plan such events with friends in blogland! Won't you join us too?

Vanessa is a wonderful hostess!

Can you believe that this is her 6th annual Mad Tea Party?!!!

I have attended two.

Here are a few photos from the past-

I do believe that I served a gypsy tea that year.

I get so excited preparing for this date!

What pastries do I serve up, what guests will be there...

Don't be late, don't be late!!!!
