The Mad Tea Party

Everyone is invited to Vanessa's party over at A Fanciful Twist, she is celebrating her 200th post with a party and not just one giveaway but 3!
I love a good tea party don't you? One with lots of sandwiches and cake and pots and pots of tea.

Anyone care for a cup of tea?

(China available from renaissanceshop.co.uk)

Milk?
Sugar, one lump or two?

(Pressed glass available from renaissanceshop.co.uk)

And how about a little something to nibble upon?

Mmmm...it all looks delicious! I would love some tea, thank you - and what pretty cups! Ohhh, sandwiches! After all the cupcakes I've eaten today, a sandwich would be wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. :)

Am I early?!? Your party looks so inviting I just had to stop by. I thought I saw you over at Vanessa's party, but there's so much going on over there I wasn't sure.

I'd love one of those sandwiches - they look tres delish!

I've got blueberry muffins over at my place if you are interested. :)
