Mad Tea Party and a Barbie Fashion Show!

Mad Hatter Mike (my brother IRL) welcomes you to this year's Mad Tea Party ~


Peace frog and garden toad are the greeters.


Invitees this year are the Madames:  Madame Alexander Goldfish and Madame Alexander fairy doll.  


And the Muffies:  Fortune Teller Muffy Vanderbear and Mardi Gras Muffy Vanderbear.


The Muffies and Maddies came wandering by, what did they spy?
A Mad Tea Party, of course, hosted by Vanessa of a Fanciful Twist.
There was glam and glitz, joy and spritz (cookies, that is).
It is, you know, the party of the year!  


Granny Madame Alexander was the featured poetry reader.


There were Tyrano rides and carriage rides.

And a Barbie fashion show!  Bikini Barbie led off with the latest in swimwear.



New Barbie styled vintage wear (Barbie clothes made by my mom, circa 1960s). 


 Camo Barbie styled the boot with dress trend.


Scuba diving Barbie showed off her tan and athletic wear.


Fashionista Barbie glammed in evening wear. 


At every tea party there are pastries - this year the guests enjoyed an old-fashioned strawberry-rhubarb crisp, recipe here.
