Oh! See what I got!

The Mad Tea Party

lived up to its name and was

indeed,

Mad

and there were 

parties and tea galore!

A lot of these

Tea Parties 

had giveaways

 and

and

LOOK WHAT I GOT!

These were the prizes in the giveaway 

generously given by Susan, of

Flutter Before You

who had the most wonderful 

Mad Tea Party.

Susan has a blog 

full of altered images 

and she makes very lovely ATC's

(Artist Trading Cards)

and other goodies.

You can see her skill and wit

in the wee box that I found 

when I opened the box and 

parted the pink tissue paper

 The sweet little box is just enchanting,

 with its sweet little diorama and the grass and berries. 

Just look at the colours

complemented by that soft, gleaming gold

And there's a green and gold tea cup on it! 

Just like the one in the box.

The cup is a beauty. 

English bone china with a Art Deco feel to it, 

with a tiny handle and,

 my favourite thing, 

a design inside the tea cup!

 I always love that, 

like an extra surprise or a secret.

Thank you, thank you, Susan!

It's so lovely and it remands me of England.

In doll news

I'm finally painting the leopard face on 

 my circus leopard lady.

Still need work.

And some hair.

And a sparkly costume!
