You are mad. And wonderful! I love the new cottage! I don't even know what to say about all of the incredible loveliness (I mean madness!) that is happening over there right now. Thank you so much for including me in your magical world...it was beyond fun to set even one pink-polished toe into the land of Vanessa Valencia for a day. xo

What a truly lovely party!!! Hop on over to mine for a Wonderland art spree :)

What a beautiful cottage! And a beautiful party! It looks like the fun could go on for days--although if the mood strikes you to wander a bit (as one does in Wonderland) then you're welcome to visit me and have even more tea!

thanks for the madness xxx

Oh divine, divine, I have been waiting all day in my party dress for you to open the door ( it has been Saturday all day already here in Australia)...I adore your cottage and want to move in and tasty treats that don't stick to your waist, how truly scrumptious. I have had the most wonderful time at your party and might have left my parasol there so will need an excuse to return several times before the year is out...a grand excuse i think.
I love your dedication...so sweet and true and my eyes all ready glistening from the excitment of the party now flow with tears.. The most perfect party ever, thank you sooo much for inviting me, now can I return the favour and ask you to join my little party...thank you thank you,
Kiss Noises Linda moi!

As always Vanessa, your parties are so colourful and lovely! Once again thank you for sharing and hosting such a delightful event!
And yes, i'm sure there is a Wonderland for the loved ones who are gone too early.

Lots of Love to you! xxx :)

Charming cottage, imaginative photos~ If you can tear yourself away from the white rabbits for a brief time, hop on over to my outdoor tea party! I am having a wee scavenger hunt, pots of piping hot tea and a fairy give-away.

Thanks Vanessa for a truly enchanted time!

Always so very pretty and colourful. Thanks for having me at your Mad Tea Party. I love your Wonderland shoes!! and also Mr Lovee's outfit. Wish I could actually eat some of that chocolate cake...I did try, but my computer screen kept getting in my way ;)
The girls have put on a Mad Tea Party over in my Green and White Garden, right in the middle of the bed of roses. You can find them here:

Cheers to you Ms V.

What a wonderland indeed you have created in your part of the world! It certainly was an amazing start to the day!

I hope everyone enjoys a trip into my personal wonderland. Come take a peak!

http://pabkins.blogspot.com/2011/06/mad-tea-party-my-wonderland-wedding.html

Wow I've had a wonderful time at your tea party. So many lovely cakes to eat and partying to be done. I think I might have kissed your little frog though in the middle of a sugar rush, I do hope he turns into a Prince.

I love your new little cottage.

Here is the link to my very first tea party, I'm very excited.

http://phoenixra.blogspot.com/2011/06/wonderings-on-tea-party.html

Oooooo, I love the little cottage, and the sign! And the lights, and the sweets, and the... everything!

I'm about to start the rounds to see what everyone else has done, but first here's my party-link:

Have a great weekend!
Katarina

Love your tea party - as usual!!!! I love that you are remembering Baby in this post - a sad day for you all but a great way to honor Baby with this lovely tea party!

I hope you enjoy my real life Mad Hatter Tea Party - http://graycardigan.blogspot.com/2011/06/mad-hatter-tea-party.html

Janet

Wait, did I understand that correctly? You're giving away some of your prints?! I would love to enter into the draw! I always loved "the Siren finds her Passion" :)

Katarina

http://seaside-diaries-of-a-kimberline.blogspot.com/#Label1

Very fanciful indeed. So many lovely things to look at and sample. You've done an amazing and woundrus job. A very lovely cottage too. Baby is watching you from her final resting place, and she is happy.

Hello, hello, did my comment go missing?

Thank you for another wonderful party! Marvellous treats indeed!!

Mine is a little bit dangerous this year, just a little bit:

Welcome to the tea party: http://blog.afiori.com/2011/06/tea-party-in-wonderland-and-giveaway.html

sincerely,
the Red Queen

Oh sweetie you have out done yourself again. You are a beautiful maker of magic. I've woven a bit of magic myself here:

http://collagediva.typepad.com/collagediva/2011/06/tea-party.html

So sorry to hear of the losses in your life. I lost my dearest Fen a beautiful companion in March. He was the bestest dog ever and lived with us for 10 years. He was with me in spirit as I worked in to the wee evening to get my post done.

I may need to nap a little after noshing on so many sweets and before I visit all of the other parties.

Cheers and have a blast today!

{soul hugs}
Kathryn, Collage Diva

You wonderful lady... I want to live in that adorable house, play with you and you doggies, eat you beautiful food and drink LOTS of tea...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Thank you again for an amazing party!!
Please visit mine, I think you (maybe not your dogs) will enjoy it!
XOXO

Lovely creatrix Vanessa, your parties melt my heart and fill me with a childhood excitement and I am afraid I guzzled to many sweets as usual.
I'm so sorry to hear of your friends painful loss, heres hoping Baby and Cowboy are partying in the ethereal realms.

http://anthropomorphicaartdolloddities.blogspot.com/2011/06/unfinished-one-and-tea-party.html

Another wonderful party and so full of lovely surprises! Fanciful AZ is now on my place of must visit (again) and I am more inspired to get my own cottage. Such magical places. Love how yours is marked with a V.
http://dogsmom.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/dreaming-madly-of-tea/

Keeping Baby in our most precious memories.

Miss Veanessa and the mad hatter too I had a wonderful time in wonderland with you..cakes were eaten...drinks of tee too... but what is a girl to do... jog until lunchtime .. then visit me too.. Hugs wendy

http://blissangels.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-late-im-late-for-very-important-date.html

Happy party day Vanessa. I will be back later to visit properly as off out now! But Alice is playing at mine so she will be here soon! xx

Oh my, tripping on my extra long ruffled gown! Oh, and it did rip. Well, here, let's finish the job. Oh, I do like this shorter length better. I do! And see here what I have now? A gorgeous ruffled sash for my hair.

And now for a look at your . . . at your . . . *klunk* Somehow in my state of faintedness I hear a far-away cry for smelling salts. Then I feel something touch my nose, and, why, it's chocolate frosting, with sprinkles! But of course! Smelling salts are of the mad tea variety when you fall over in a euphoric faint at the mad tea party at the wonderful Miss V.'s!

The cottage! Oh, the cottaaaage!!!! OK, I am slapping myself silly to keep from being overcome once again by the most magical of lovely places. Oh, wiiiiilll we get a peek inside soooooon? Oh my, where are my manners, for I see that the tea party is set for outside today! My eyes DRINK IN all the loveliness. I giggle for a moment as I realize that my mouth is not the only thing doing the drinking.

I know that I shall come back to your party again and again as a lovely escape from the world's cares in the days to come.

**************
What beautiful tributes to Baby and Cowboy, Vanessa. I have thought about Baby lately, knowing that this date was approaching. I'm sending you a big hug. As we are sitting sipping tea together, please do tell me some wonderful stories about your sweet girl. . . .

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Roo's dear Cowboy. I well remember her post telling us that he was ill. I am sending her big hugs as well, along with a prayer for healing.


Ohhhh, I love your cottage! I wish I could turn my apartment into a cottage! It's beautiful. thank you for letting me join your party and tell your momma that the shoes are way adorable! Hop over to my party if you have some time! I made peanut butter and banana tea sandwiches...not the traditional sammie but it IS a MAD tea party after all!

This has been such a perfect way to start my day!! Coffee, tea and sweets! The Mad Hatter was most wicked cool! My heart is singing, my tummy is full (from all of your fabulous sweets) and now I am skipping off like a loon with the Commander to celebrate our 5th anniversary today!

Happy Tea Part Lovely Vanessa and Mister Lovee!!

Estoy feliz,muy feliz de poder participar otro año mas de tu fiesta.
Que divertida! lo estoy pasando de maravillas.
Gracias por organizarla y compatir momentos magicos y soñadores.
Te dejo un beso gigante y me voy ya mismo a recorrer las otras participantes.

http://todassomosreinas.blogspot.com/2011/06/seguimos-de-fiestamad-tea-party-2011.html

I’m here, I’m here
And dressed for tea
How lovely you have invited me

Your cakes of rose and chocolate too
Have certainly caught my eyes
And Miles’ hat and your flowered shoes
Are sure to win a prize

If I may be so bold to ask of you
To visit my party too
This is the way

http://robinsbluenest.typepad.com/robins_nest_blue/2011/06/its-a-mad-tea-party.html

And I hope you’ll stay
And have cake some lovely tea too

Oh my, the time
It goes so fast
I must be on my way

But fear not friend
I shall return
Please……Have a beautiful day.

Wonderful Tea Party post. Always fun to visit. Thank you for your comment regarding Baby and Cowboy. Add a Dragon to that list. Mr. Dragon and Cowboy shared the same kind of cancer. All of them are in the stars, watching over us.

Much love to you my dear .. for adding fantasy and smiles to our lives.

Hugs .......

Thank you for such a delicious tea party together and for inviting my grand children and me! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing your lovely and unique tea set with the teapots and tea cups full of the magical rose tea! Not to mention the tastiest of tasty chocolate cakes. I do hope I didn't take too many pieces!

Your polka dots were delightful, the chickens were adorable, your gown and parasol was gorgeous, and the Mad Hatter's serenade was swooningly romantic. It's so sweet to see you so happy together and sharing your joy with us! And didn't Miles look dashing in his tall black party hat. I thought it was quite cute the way he worked so hard to create his own version of "black boots."

I'm very glad I was able to stay till dark - your lights created a lovely "fairy-land experience!" Thank you for such a lovely lovely visit full of special memories of special friends. And thank you for sharing about Baby and Cowboy. They, and you, are in my prayers!

Have a lovely lovey tea party, and again, thank you for the invite. Now I'm off to have more tea with other guests, and looking forward to a wide variety of big and kids tea sets all over the bloggy wonderland. Ta!

Happy Tea Miss V!! What a wonderful party...had so much fun and hope you do come by and take a peek as well..Miss you and your beautiful photo's of AZ!!
Muah, Ann-Denise

OH MY! I can't get over how lovely :) I will be drooling over these photos for a very long time :)

Please come and visit my Tea Party, the white rabbit happened to visit as well.

This is my first time, and I am enchanted. Thank you so much.
