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!

 

 

Missy's Mad Tea Party... Come on In!

The invitations were delivered, one by one...

I watched from behind the bushes with excitement as ribbons were un-tied, envelopes opened, and smiles appeared on each recipients' face. Yes! They would attend!

"Attend what", you ask.

It's that most wonderful event that comes once a year!

It is a Mad Tea Party that all began by Vanessa dear! I will provide you with her link at the end of this post!

For now I must dash. We must not be late!!!!

I dig deep into my trunks for the finer treasures that I store-

My china, my fancy linens, hats, and bags.

Ah ha!

There it is!

My tea party purse!!!

How do I look? Aren't the feathers just grand?

Off to another trunk I go. It's the trunk that holds my tea sets...

And a bit of magic too. Shhhhhh.

I reach for each piece and dust them off clean.

After draping the table with a crisp table cloth, I begin setting each place for each special guest.

Oh my, oh my...

I look at the clock.

I have run out of time and desperately need help!

Hmmmm.

It never fails me, when I'm in a pinch.

My magical wand...

Just watch this!

I wave it around and say a few words.

Wa la!

We now have a true tea party with fluffy, pink cakes...

And cups filled with hot tea, ready for sipping!

Have you tried this one?

It's a dreamy delight!

I have saved the very best tea for you!

Filled with blessings and love...

And may all of your dreams come true!

Hurry, hurry!

Drink it up!

I want to thank you for dropping by!

I love how the blogging community comes together for fun and creativity!
