A Garden Tea Party

Young Alice is having a tea party and she's invited all her friends from Wonderland.

Won't you please join us?

The Cheshire Cat is on his way.

The White Rabbit is making his way through the flowers.

Daisy the Hedgehog has escaped the Red Queen's croquet game to join the fun!

Looks like the Caterpillar is already here!

"I think I'll try a biscuit," says Alice.

"Oh dear, I feel quite odd! Better have a sip of mint tea."

"Ah, that's better!"

We've saved some for you!

Just be sure to heed the old sign's warning...

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Be sure to visit other Mad Tea Parties today!

We're all mad here!

Have you seen the new Alice in Wonderland movie yet? I have, twice! We are huge Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fans in this house so we couldn't miss it.
In my primitive and folk art group, PFATT, we had a Alice in PFATTland challenge this week and I wanted to share the piece I created. My version of the Cheshire Cat with my favorite quote in the banner above his head. He's painted on an unused oak cupboard door. I even added a little dragon fly and a rocking horse fly to the border with some heart vines for the Red Queen. I will be listing it on Ebay later tonight if you're interested!





Last week was my birthday and I was sick with bronchitis (still sick really). I didn't do much because, well, I couldn't, but my Mom brought me over this lovely basket filled with all sorts of spring seeds, organic fertilizer and a cute dish towel. She also bought me an AeroGarden so I am interested to see how well that works. Got an herb garden started in it today. Also built a teepee out of branches and planted peas to grow up and make a hideout for Zoe.



This week I've donated the giveaway item on the EHAG Emporium so if you'd like to win one of my spooky tree pendants, scoot on over there and leave a comment!

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you are enjoying this warm, spring like weather!

2 Cool Treasuries

I made two very cool new treasuries on Etsy today. Here some screen shots but you will have to click on my links to visit.

Two of my favorite themes:

Quoth the Raven Treasury

We're all mad here! Treasury




It have a lot of great new pendants in my Etsy shop. Please take a look. I ship promptly if you need something for Christmas.

We're all mad here!

Another piece for the AHAO Challenge... the Cheshire Cat!

I will be listing this piece on ebay soon.
Also just added another Gypsy Vanner Halloween sign. I have a tambourine I hope to paint with a Gypsy Horse too and I am in the sketching stages for a large Gypsy Mare Cafe sign (or tavern, can't make up my mind).
No time to paint today. I think Zoe and I will walk into town. There is a cute little gallery that is advertising a Halloween art show and I think I have to check it out!
