WOW!!!!!!!

This is the most wonderful, colourful party I have seen.

I have just posted my own partypost with link to the Grand Party. I wrote there that I'll bring Marta along.

It is mine and Terje's 28th wedding anniversary today. I'll bring Terje as well........

Wow, I had no idea about this till today. I heard about it from Dapoppins, but just....wow. Everything is so colorful and beautiful. And I'm going to check out your Etsy store right now.

I will be posting mine later. Votre soiree est magnifique, mon ami! Beautiful, madly creative and delicious. Your teacups are inspired, as are your cakes and special treats and the tea. Merci bien!xoxoxoxoxox

The Mad Tea Party! It's here! It's here! I was so excited I could hardly sleep! Oooohhhh, the Mad Hatter is soooo debonaire and the tiered paper cake! I must have a slice or three of that. (so glad you're going to carry them in your Etsy store)I only wish now I had ordered one of your cakes for the Very Merry Unbirthday Garden Party over at Amusing Muses. I choose the turquoise and pink party hat, please and the bright pink teacup, if it's not already taken. Your party is so much fun. Thank you for inviting us and please come to our garden party when you wake up. Someone has painted the Queen's roses red! The flowers are gossipping, and the Mad Hatter is hiding in the hydrangeas. Alice is drinking teas with her big sister and the mock turtle down by the pond, but there's plenty for everyone. Now, I'm going to have my fortune told....

oh -ive had the most beautiful visit-to your world-thankyou my friend from across the ocean-you made my day-jo anderson.

Oh how wonderful it is...I can't wait until I arrive with all my little ladies in line behind me...there was mayhem last night as everyone fought over the jewels...they just want so much to impress you. I told them all to behave and that they must get some sleep before we embark through the portal...I'm not even going to mention the little heart cakes or they'll never settle down! We'll be over a little later!

What a spectacular table. The cakes and cups are so special. I am enjoying the piano music by one of the snail sisters while I sip tea from my romantic styled cup. How I wish I could stay all day in this festive place. Thank you for hosting the party. I definitely chose a fourth dessert.

i am having a second cuppa
earl grey RIGHT NOW

all Mad Tea Party folks are welcome
to enter the drawing...

There are some advantages of living in the future, you know, it's still nice and quiet here, we can choose whatever party hat we like, take the cup we desperately want and whisper in the ear of the sleeping beauty Vanessa: congrats on your 200th and on a very inspiring teaparty...and throw some more fairy dust on her...to encourage her hand to take MY NAME out of that beautiful hat....
Have a nice party and enjoy your visits everywhere.
Thanks for hosting and inspiring....toodles!

It is finally Tea Time and wow you have been a mad woman -- a lovely mad woman at that! You have gone over the top and brought so much magic and love and fun to our lives. Thank you for this fun. I can't decide which tea cup is best for me. I think they could all work but since you are asking I'd like the sweet and mysterious one. Your fortune teller is so lovely. Oh I could go on and on gushing. Congrats on your 200th. For your lovely party guests I have a bauble surprise at my blog for you.

What an extravaganza.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
The paper cakes are spectacular.
What fun we are all having.
I think I'll be going to tea parties all day.....such wonderful fun.

Oh My !!!What a Magical Party it is ...It was worth all the confusion...excitement & preperations that went on at my house...It's so hard to get every one out the door at the same time...but we managed !
thank you Vanessa...Such a pleasure to meet you...Palmer xox

Happy 200th anniversay Vanessa. I'm dancing (well okay, I'm on my divan with my feet up but they are swaying and tapping away to M. Bowie as he is singing one of my very FAVOURITE tunes!!).

I adore the paper confectionery -- tea cups and pots and cakes -- oh my!!!

I love your mask and all of it's sparkly glitter!!

I think a visit with your fortune teller is a must -- if I can end up looking like she does I'd be happy!!!

-- enjoy the rest of your celebrations mon amie!!

Incredible posting Miss Vanessa! I love Mr. Hatter..I know you had a similar doll before, but there's something really familiar about his face! You ought to rename this the Technicolor Tea party..you photos and art are wonderful!! I'm actually on time for the party, actually I'll be back to visit tomorrow as I decided to send some "representatives" in my place:) Drop on by!
~Christine :)

P.s. Once again thanks for putting this on..that was a lot of work !!

What a delightful time I had at your party. The cake was delicious and so beautifully decorated. I was tempted to sneak away with the gorgeous teacup I was drinking from, but my concious wouldn't allow for that. Thank you so much.

What a AWESOME party...you have made some beautiful creations for this party....WOW...I love them. The snail sisters are adorable...

Hola preciosa! The puppets are now putting on their show to entertain your guests. One of them is a bit grumpy - it's his first trip outside Paris, after all - since the 1920s! xoxox

Kate T

Vanessa, Thanks so much for the invitation! Such a beautiful and colorful party! The cupcakes are delicious, the hostess is divine, and the bunnies, well they give the sweetest eskimo kisses!

Vanessa,
What a magnificant display of color ...like pulling a giant confetti popper and having it cascade over me in glorious,glittery fireworks.
I'm feasting on cake and candy! I'm enjoying the piano music as a sip from my teacup. I'm buzzing like a bee drunk on nectar. The Mad Hatter treated me to a glorious spin on the color ferris wheel...oh I've enjoyed it. I watched the snail girl sisters blow bubbles from the tippy top! What's that?
Ding. Ding. Ding. Oh my!
I'm late...I'm late...for a very important date...oh my....which way...which way...I think I saw the white rabbit go this way...I must find my way back to post...I'm just dizzy with joy!
I hear the mmusic speaking to me...come back....come back..........

What a wonderful party. TY to Britt-Arnhild for asking me to help celebrate here. And TY Vanessa and Mad Hatter for allowing me passage to your creative Party.

I finally have found a cake that I can eat and enjoy without worry of it bothering my diabetes.

OOOOOOO LA LA! I am having so much fun at your party, the colors, the treats, the magic, LOVE IT. Happy 200th post! Now sit back relax and enjoy your fantastical party.
Kelley, The Queen and The Duchess

What a great idea for a fun party. I just popped over from The Inspired Room. Fabulous, darling!

Oh, I'm sweet and romantic, I want THAT cup! I hope no one else has already spoken for it. That is the one I want to sip my tea from. The line is long but I don't mind waiting for the fortune teller. I hope she favors me as one of the three chosen ones! Thank you for hosting such a grand and 'fanciful' party! Twyla

Happy 201st post VV!!

What a fantastic party!! Beautiful table and all!

This is beyond amazing!!!! I could spend all day here soaking up your madness, but I best be off. No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late...So many parties to attend! Thanks for the invite!!

How fun! It's so hard to chose my favorite.

I'm drinking from the pirate stripe tea cup! haha

and am wondering, "Why on earth does the Mad Hatter remind me of Tom Petty?!"

What a visual feast!! Love the large special party cake and well, everything!! The work you went to is amazing and how wonderful of you to share this with all of us.
Fun, just pure delight!
Laurie

Amazing work you have done here. Just how many shots did it take to get those bubbles over the perfectly set table into focus?

Vanessa, your party is over-the-top fantastic!! How did you ever come up with those amazing teacups, what am I saying...you are Vanessa. This party is so gorgeous, I love everything and your cake is the BEST! You are one of the most talented artists and I just can't stop looking at those teacups, I love them. Please stop by and I am soooo glad that I could park my tricycle outside and your little visitors are such a delight. Karen

Beautiful, colorful! It's hard to imagine how you were able to make all of that! I admire creative people. :)

Your designs are magical!!! Is it just me or does your party host resemble rocker David Lee Roth in his former big hair band days and outrageously colored costumes? He is GREAT, your host not the rocker guy! Thanks for hosting!

Happy Happy 200th!!!!! Wow your are an incredible artist. The Party is just amazing.
Thank you so much for the invite and the wonderful "eye candy". The color is just fantastic. I LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello! I happened to find you from Debbie Egizio's blog. What a gorgeous tea table!!!!! Pure fantasy! You've created a wonderful world of color and play. Fun, Fun, Fun!

What a lively party here dear! You look fabulous and your creativity is unbelievable, as usual. You have outdone yourself...

Wishing you 200 more,

PS. I am quite embarrassed by my simple costume. Perhaps I need to add some sparkles. Or a boa. Or silver shoes?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! It's here! It's here!! I have on my party dress and my party shoes and I don't even know where to begin!!! I'm standing at the table just amazed at the beauty of it all....this extroidinary cake masterpiece!!...the colors...the bubbles drifting by...Mr. MadHatter looks soooo distinquished - right down to his shoes! I'm going to wear the pretty blue party hat with the pink and green feather tufts! Ohh! It fits perfectly! And I do believe I'll try the pink and pirate stripes teacup...what a lovely teapot, Miss Vanessa! OHhh..yummmmm! I'm sticking my candy stick into my yum-yum party cake...look! It's sticks up! OH, maybe I shouldn't be playing with my food! Sooorrrryyy! Oh heavens...where are my manners?? Miss V...you look absolutely beautiful and I looove, looove how that pink party hat looks on top of your monsoon hairdo - I really dooooo! How you managed to put all of this together and still look stunning is beyond me. What's that?? REALLY???? OOOOOOHHHHHHH.... WOW! Miss Fortune Teller has just given me my fortune, and it's a goodie! Shhh...I promised not to tell for fear it would not come true! She winked at me with one of her beautiful eyes as she told me my fortune... ; ) I spied one of the sweet Snail Sisters sitting on the piano keys earlier... I'm crossing my fingers that she gets to travel up north! My goodness..what a wonderful time at your party, Vanessa! You've made me feel welcomed, loved and special! Thank you for being the most special of hostesses.... it's been a magical delight to be in your graces! Now catch some sleep, dear one. Partying is hard work! : )

So beautiful and inspiring my dear. Just what I needed on this rainy day. Love all the goodies you made, beautiful. The fortune teller is an awesome find.
Happy 200th post. I will take a tea and a piece of your marvelous cake and then ride my pink tricycle around to all the other parties. By the time I am done I may be too fat to ride. Oh well.
XO-Mya

Oh my! Oh my! I'll have one of each and I'll try every cup. Oh! Selfish you say?! Okay...the bright pink cup with stripes and a dance with the cute Mad Hatter!! What did you put in this tea?!?!

This is by far the most outrageously wonderful tea party I've ever seen! I keep going back to check everything out... unreal! I love the snail sisters! I'll be popping in and out for more tea and cupcakes. Thank you for creating this magical event!
