"Alice falls down the rabbit hole and her dress poofs up like a parachute."
"Well, after this I should think nothing of falling down stairs."
Step through the Rabbit Hole and into the Garden House.
"Doorknob: Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction."
"Yes, that's it! Said the Hatter with a sigh, it's always tea time."
Cookies and Strawberry Cordial, oh my!
Tea times are the best of times!
Come in and play, sip a cup of tea!
Take a peek, delights are here.
Take more goodies, please.
There are Caramel Nut Bars here
lollipops and gumballs too.
Cakes and Shimmering Jello, please partake!
"Daisy: What kind of a garden do you come from?"
"Alice: Oh, I don't come from any garden."
"Daisy, Do you suppose she's a wildflower?"
Yummmmmm!
"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone. "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."
"Nobody asked your opinion." said Alice."
"I can't go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

How utterly whimsical and charming! The guests must have had a ball!!!
I loved the inviting long long table all set out and I couldn't decide what chair to sit in. Well I finally decided, and then pretty soon the MOST interesting folk arrived and filled up the chairs one by one and we dined and laughed and dined some more. What a fun party this was. Thank you for putting it on for us all. I love your mushrooms. *smiles* Norma
Your lovely garden room is the perfect place for tea thank you!
How I wish I could partake of some tea with you Marilyn, in your beautiful surroundings!
Oh wow, what a lovely collection of images and what a wonderful tea! You had fun here, I can see that!
You pull together a lovely party but your final quotes have me smiling thinking about recent tv commercials over which is better - less or more. :)
Enjoyed my visit to the Rabbit Hole! Thank you! ~Tricia, Fairy Godmother at the Castle (and Sweet Rascal Photos)
Your garden house the perfect place for a lovely tea party, swoon.
Love your blog, hope to visit again, lucky my falling down the "hearts delights" rabbit hole.
Yum!

I was blown away by the magnificent glass house Jim had built............when I stepped inside I felt as if I'd entered the old, more gracious days, of English gardens surrounding country houses. I loved it just natural with the antique tools displayed..............but wow, here I see it in party mode and it's gorgeous too.
Of course I forgot to take photos that evening - kicking myself now!
Your home and garden are delightful Marilyn - loved everything, but especially you guys!!!!!
Hope we can do it again some day.
Love, Mary
Just found your visit to my tea! Yours is so cute! Love the "tea house" and table decorations! Thanks for visiting me!
What a great space to have your tea party in, Marilyn! Your table looks lovely. Thanks so much for having me! : )
