Step through the Rabbit Hole



"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."
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Today is just for delight and whimsy!
I am playing with my friend Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist

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

Mary said...

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
