"Well, Hello Dolly!"

Time for Tea??

TIME.

There just doesn't seem to be

enough of it

to go around this year.

I always seem to have

 too many things

on the go.

UFO's I call them.

(Un-Finished Objects)

and a squillion creative ideas

roaming my head,

(which make it difficult to go to sleep at night)

But as busy as I seem to feel,

I could not let this year go by

without an attempt at a

 Mad Tea Party

posting.

above, is my ooak Mad Hatter Art Doll

The surreal and highly imaginative Vanessa,

over on 'A Fanciful Twist',

has had a doosey of a year also,

but always manages to put on quite a spred.

She is my inspriation.
 

Her hosting of the annual

(cyberspace) Mad Tea Party

is something I

wouldn't want to miss...

"Not for all the tea in China".

 So my Mad Hatter

and little Alice

have enticed me

to set up a small Tea Party,

together with my

March Hare and Doormouse.

As well as a lovely cup of tea...

there is nothing I like more

than a great

quote.

So, I went hunting and gathering

a few of the best

'TEA' quotes

for you to enjoy.

"Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things."

~Chaim Potok

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceromony known as afternoon tea."

~Henry James

"Another novelty is the tea party, an extraordinary meal in that, being offered to persons that have already dined well, it supposes neither appetite nor thirst, and has no object but distraction, no basis but delicate enjoyment."

~Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

"Tea pot is on,

the cups are waiting,

favourite chairs anticipating.

No matter what I have to do,

my friend there's always

time for you."

"There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea."

~Bernard-Paul Heroux

Well, I must say,

it HAS been

delightful

to just sit and savour a cuppa with you...

Slowing down to a snail's pace...

and

just enjoying your company.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit!

Be sure to wander over to

'A Fanciful Twist'

for the rest of the Mad Tea Parties that are being held.

(bearing in mind, that her Mad Tea Party is in Arizona, USA...so it might be a little behind our time. 15 hours I think?)

(Love to you, Vanessa ♥

and thanks, once again, for hosting your famous Mad Tea for us to join in)
