This is Jasmine. She couldn't decide
if she wanted to be the Mad Hatter
or the White Rabbit so
she chose to be both.

Harley’s favorite color is purple.
He shopped for 2 weeks straight
trying to find a matching purple
top hat and bow tie.

probably had your fill of yummy finger food and sandwiches, but my
favorite food is dessert!!! So with our tea we are going to have cookies..

I’m sorry they are not home made,
but a career girl has to
get help where she can!!!

Hi Karen!
I so enjoyed the charming visit and your tea was delightfully delicious. The sweets were scrumptious, I hope we didn't make too much of a mess! I tried to eat all of the yummy cupcakes so you wouldn't have any leftovers...
You are such a wonderful hostess, and of course I must not forget to mention the little furries too!
Enjoy~
everything vintage
a big thank you to you and your delightful, and well dressed, pups - for sharing a cup of tea with me.
~cheers to you and yours~
That table!!! That chandelier!!! Those "guests"!!!! LOVE it!! Can I have a sampling of the sweet treats? :))) Yummmmmmm!

Audible gasps when I saw the chandelier! I'd leave it like that ALL the time!
I hope you'll visit my Tea Party and see what I'm decking out the party-goers in!
I want you to know I had a divine time at your party! With your handsome guest of honor, I'm afraid I lingered longer at your party than most. I was just hoping to catch his eye (blushing). I am already late to the next tea party! Have a magical weekend! Twyla
CUTE!!! You & I were on the same wavelength-come see your blog southern style-oh, but my puppy would have *none* of it, sadly! He called a stunt rabbit in, tee hee!

So sorry I'm late. I just escaped my own Mad Party.
I must say I've had an enchanting visit and your tea party guest were truly handsomely well behaved. Much better than mine.
Oh and the vanilla caramel sounds delish.
Thank you for the relaxing visit.
Karen, thank you for the tea and crumpets. It was a beautiful party.
Thank you for visiting my new blog and I will be sure to visit you often.
What a simply lovely tea party!!!
Cheers Linda
Hi Karen!
You are having fun,what wonders you created! I do love your blog.
Have a sweet week!
Marcie
Which teacup is a fave? Hard to chose. But the one your holding with it's saucer is just perfect. Thanks, I'll eat my cake with the chocolate drizzle. yum!
My goodness, what a wonderful party. I clicked on your name on a comment you made on another post because of our name. I remember a Karen Valentine who was an actress years ago. No, I didn't think you were her, but I was delighted when I saw that you also live in Scottsdale. I've been here 20 years. I never liked the desert. I'm a beach - mountain lover, but now I love my desert. I guess we can get used to anything. Anyway, thanks for the party. Come visit my blogs sometime. One of them is called At Home in Scottsdale.
Charlotte
Karen, awesome, simply awesome...I had a lovely time and am fill to the brim and I can't eat anymore goodies...thank you...have a honey of a day! Marlene :O)
I had so much fun at your party, yes I was late,late,late but couldn't miss this wonderful place.
It is so curious that these Mad Tea Parties are still going strong! I've yet to clean mine up, so please feel free to follow me back down the rabbit hole to Haute Whimsy before life goes back to mundane!
Sorry I'm Late-but what an extraordinary party you have here-I ❤ the dressed up Chandelier! It is fab!
Happy Party Hopping
Stacy
