A Mad Tea Party at 58Cherries...

Are you in the mood for a tea party?? I am!!

It all began when I took out my cherished (and very heavy) copy of Lewis Carroll's works.

I was just at the point when Alice sits down at the table in her big comfy armchair when...

I fell asleep in the sun and dreamed my own version of the tea party...

It all begins with a generous spread of sweets and teas all laid out just for me...

There are several different kinds of tea for me to choose from - mango, raspberry, strawberry, and peach...all perfect for a lovely summer day. I took my time choosing.

But as I looked closer I realized there was a tiny little tea set laid out next to my little pot of peach tea and cup. And a spotted mushroom had sprung up between them, too - perhaps the warmth of the tea had helped it grow, but whoever could be needing such a tiny little tea set?

I helped myself to a croissant, but then noticed the wonderful iced cupcakes

laid out and quickly helped myself to one of those, too.

Mmm, they have lemon icing and fruit flavored sugar:

lemon, orange, raspberry and wild strawberry. Delicious!

I also noticed bowls full of ripe strawberries and

cherries and decided to help myself to a few of those as well.

And it was then that I noticed the chessmen and women had come out to play. They argued over whose turn it was to roll the cherries across the table and the Black Knight was very sure that it was their turn.

And just as I began to realize it was getting late and I must get back,

I asked the gnome what time it was according to his watch.

It was with a heavy heart I had to bid adieu,

but I promised to come back again and I hope you'll come with me, too.

Thank you very much for visiting my little party. I had a great deal of fun and I'm eager to visit everyone else's party, too. I promised a giveaway so if you'd like a little silhouette from my shop.

Please leave a comment here and I'd love it if you'd come back and visit me again in the future. I'll announce the winner on July 1st to give people time to sign up. I also will have a bit of news to share then.

Have a great weekend!!!
