Join Alice and her forest friends for a magical tea!
Alice wondered which door to go through but didn’t have time to explore. She was more interested in the treats to eat and books to read.
Bunnies to visit…
Mice to play with…
And sweet treats!
Do you need a cup for your tea?
Time to travel through the looking glass.
What will we see?
Look closely!
CLOSER….
But WAIT!
Wait a little more…
Couldn’t we just meet in the lanai with the 3 bears and read “A Sleepy Story”?
What’s the worst thing that can happen?
Snow White
has taken over the photo shoot?
Oh, well! Everyone is welcome at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party today!
And we’re ALL joining Vanessa HERE !
and Ivy and Elephants.
This book was published in 1946.
(And yes, I made Alice, the mouse in the cupboard and the bears in the lanai!)
Tea anyone?

Aww yes please..I wish I cam come and sit with these sweet friends..
Big smile here xxx
what a beautiful post, you are so creative!
Alice is one of my favorites. I especially like Johnny Dep's version. Love the dolls, the setting, the narrative. The whimsy. A nice way to start my day with a bit of cheer.
I totally agree w/ Laurie M! Love Alice in Wonderland! Thanks for a cute post on a very rainy day here!
snow white - photo hog!
You are amazingly talented and very busy when you're not out on the trails!! A huge WOW with all your details for everything you set up!!
That's adorable! I love your sweet set up and I laughed out loud when Snow White crashed the party! Funny! I LOVED seeing A Sleepy Story! That was one of my favorite books when I was little and I'd forgotten all about it! I'll be on the lookout for it for my kids!
Hope you're having a lovely day! I'd love to see you at my party too!
Blessings,
Sarah
One of my childhood favorites..I had such a vivid imagination back then (still do when I allow my brain to relax a bit!) Beautiful photo shoot- you are a very talented seamstress- the little mice dolls are precious.
A mix of Disney and Alice, yay!
I do hope you will come visit my little tea party and Giveaway! FairyTalePhotoArt.com

Thank you for visiting KayeSwain.com and for inviting me to your quite delightful tea party. I had such a wonderful time!
And WOW! You are so wonderfully talented. I love all the cute toys you made. My grandkids would be enthralled if I could do that - although I will admit, they do appreciate my simple crafts AND my computer techiness :) And speaking of techniness, may I ask how you did the adorable stars and glitter picture. I LOVE that effect!
I see we have several bloggy friends in common as well - how FUN! Here's a pretty PINK and slightly virtual cupcake just for YOU! Thank you again for such a delightful visit.

Hello, Diane
I am well thanks.
I really appreciate your message in my blog. I am taking a rest but I hope to be back to my block very soon.
I am very happy you have a new sewing machine.

What a fun tea party! A cute idea, I like Alice looking into the mirror.. You are so creative.. Have a happy day
Lol, loved that Snow White took over the photo shoot. Those princesses get everywhere. ;-)
Had such fun at your party, loved your dolls and bears, you're very talented.
My life seems like I'm falling down the rabbit hole with another move to do. Overwhelming is an understatement! Your charming post put a smile on my face today--thanks, Sis XOXO
Your party has made me smile and giggle, Diane. So sweet….ALice looks so festive in her pretty dress, and that Snow White is a photo bomb ham! ;P
Is there room for me? I would like something sweet to go with my tea!
xo,
RJ
HI Diane,
Just too cute. I have two big containers filled with Dolls and all the stuff that goes with them. It would really be nice to have them out, but we would have to put on an edition to the house.
Nancy Jo
I would love to have tea with Alice. She and I would have so much fun chatting about the rabbit hole :)

Laura

How cute is this scene of friends enjoying a mad tea party! Loved the appearance of Snow White, as she is my favourite Disney princess!
I was a going to ask if you made them Diane…what a fun tea party and photo shoot.
Tea parties are so much fun! Cute post!
Lovely pictures. It has a very Velveteen Rabbit Toys at Play feel. I want to steal your mickey mouse clock. *grin* A most excellent tea party!
I absolutely LOVE everything, but your rabbits WOW! me.
What a sweet and lovely post Diana. I love the pictures and I would love to come and have tea.
Have a nice week
I love your Alice, she is fantastic. How impressive to have Snow White stop in for a visit, of course it is such a lovely party, I am not at all surprised she came :0) Thanks for visiting me!
Diane,
The Mad Hatter Tea Party - how wonderful! Jess loves Alice in Wonderland, and has the pink book. The cloth dolls, the tea cups, the clocks - it was all so fun and delightful.
love,
~Sheri
oh, who wouldn't want to crash this party?! how fun!
What a cute post!! You are a very talented lady making all the characters.
Thanks for stopping by. My daughter took those pics with her phone. The ones she took of the fireworks did not turn out well at all so did not post those.
Have a great week.
Lovely tea party. Your Alice is such a doll! Ooops, that's obvious…she is very sweet. I enjoyed the wonderful way you staged your party.
Thanks for visiting my blog, as well.
Hi Diane! Thank you for inviting me to your tea party! I had a great time! Sorry I've been absent from blog land for so long, I've been nursing a sick hubby. Twyla
A fun post Diane, and just like a woman to steal the show from another gal.
Ah yes, the tea - please!
You are so talented, Diane! This was just the cutest post ever! Loved everything about it. The first hardcover book I ever received was from my paternal grandma....and it was, "Alice in Wonderland." I was too young to read it at the time, but of course I loved receiving it. Happy memories!
That was fun and very creative! my favorite photo was the one with all the 'magical stars' floating around!!
What fun! Not sure I've been to a better party in a long, long time. Thanks for the invitation.
What a lovely party! Thanks so much for inviting me to Tea Diane♥
Blessings
Love the bright colors at your party. Looks like your dollies are having tons of fun!
This is adorable. You are so talented and creative. Wishing you a very nice week.
What, you didn't make the bunnies? Love all the others and especially Alice!
How delightful! I love all your handcrafted dolls, Diane! They are adorable and you made this story so sweet
Just too cute!! How much fun you had at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party today.

Thanks for the tea, it was a delight.
That tea party is adorable Diane! So creative and charming, but everything you do is!
I love your Alice and the bears and the wee mouse. What a lovely tea party. As for Snow White, I hope she brought some apple pie! She's turned up at one or two other Mad tea parties this year. maybe she's be a regular fixture? Thank you for inviting me!
Magical post. Love your vintage Alice book. I spied a pair of small Pooh books. An idea of another creative post perhaps?
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Namemate! I almost thought I was brought to a miniature or toy museum. I think you can already establish one in your own home. :) I enjoyed the photos and it's beginning to feel like my favorite time of the year in the photos.
Thank you for forever linking up. Have a great week ahead!
Wow! All you need is a video camera now and you can start making your own movies! I love the part with the "twinkly stars". You would make a great one to design store windows...it was visiting another land! You're amazing!
P.S. I never did get either one of your emails...sad but true.
Oh! Just as darling as I thought it would be.Of course I had a great time and loved all Your creations.Hugs and blessings to You-Denise
How fun!! Love all the sweet and adorable details! :) xo Holly
What adorable little friends you have!
OK ... What gives? I see bears and rabbits and even Snowy White.
I just wanna know ... ¿¿Where's Wendy??
