If you followed the white rabbit, then you have for certain found yourself at our 2023 Mad Tea Party.
Alice in Wonderland awaits your arrival at her table.
With ruffles and teacups and old friends galore.
And treats to make you taller or shorter, whichever you fancy.
Under golden hour light, right before afternoon turns into night, we meet up on a warm afternoon in the garden.
Mad Hatter enticing you...
To sip from the bottle of stars, his own concoction you see.
As oldest book pages flutter open, beckoning you to join in.
As you enter into a place of most absolute fairy tale magic.
With keys and locks, hares and mushrooms...
And a white rabbit that implores you to not be late!
You are served at a fanciful tea-time, on antique Limoges porcelain of pink and gold.
Golden hour beaming in with such delight, as we pour your favorite tea.
A perfect cup...
A little milk, with one lump or two?
I'm certain it's a magical brew, as you immediately begin to dance and twirl...
Whilst selecting a delectable treat.
Would you like a slice of chocolate raspberry gateau?
Or perhaps you fancy something more like a chiffon queen cake?
Whatever you choose will be lovely I'm certain...
Your friends absolutely agree.
What could be better than tea-time with the Wonderlanders?
Pink hair Alice hopes that you are having the very most scrumptiously wonderful time.
If you are lucky, you can try on the Mad Hatter's hat when he is not looking.
Oh and, don't forget to put on your Sweet William corsage I've made you.
It's quite the pink and gold symphony it seems.
With towers of fancy teacups for you to choose from.
And don't forget the pink hibiscus blossom, for the sweetest little touch.
If you look through the garden, you might even spy our beloved Matty at his last Mad Tea Party <3
Golden hour magic is quickly turning into fairy light twinkles.
Little bun does not want the magic to ever end!
I don't think anyone does.
I sure don't, do you?
Luckily, the magic lives within us, and we can return whenever we'd like.
Evening did not keep us from giggling and sipping.
The mushrooms even sang their curious tunes.
I am so grateful for a tale as such, that brings us together in this way year after year.
In the secret garden with all of our friends...
Through the rose arbor, into our own sort of Wonderland...
With the love of fairy tales burning ardently.
Waiting for people like you and me...
To follow the white rabbit...
And venture into our own storybook, if only for a brief moment.
Cheers with teacups to another Mad Tea Party of our hearts!
Thank you for joining us.
