{A Lark & Lola Mad Tea Party!}
Welcome! I'm guessing you've come to see my Mad Tea Party? I'll tell you all about it!
I sent invitations out weeks in advance for my Mad Tea Party. Invitations are very important, you know, as they set the tone for the party right off the bat.
I invited 6 guests, so I began making lists of what I'd need...
Long planning, but finally, the day is here!
When hosting, I always try and have everything set up before guests arrive.
And no party is complete without music! My guests loved these tunes...
Bowls, for ice cream, of course! Ice cream is a tradition at Mad Tea Parties.

Guests were instructed {via my handcrafted paper garland} to "Eat Cake".
Teacups and saucers for all.
Now here's the secret to a real Mad Tea Party: Twinkle Tea. It looks strange, what, with it's stars and sparkles, but it's really quite delicious. There's a few important notes you should take on Twinkle Tea, however...
First, twinkle tea cannot be sweetened with just any sugar. It has to be sweetened with twinkle sugar, of course!
And you'll find you get the most out of your twinkle tea when you stir in your wishes, too.
You have to keep stirring until your wishes are fully incorporated...
ah, keep going!
there!
:: clink clink ::
Now your twinkle tea is ready to be enjoyed. But there's one more thing!
Twinkle tea must be served with a "Drink Me" sign.
Cake was also had at my Mad Tea Party.
With sugar flowers I did not make, but I wish I had.
One of my guests was my own daughter, Eisley. She dressed up all fancy, I even let her wear my pearls. {And wouldn't you know? It just happens to be her Unbirthday!}
The guests included White Rabbit, Jane-Austen-like-lady, Eisley, Big Hat Lady, Girl Bust, and Great-Grandma's Silhouette.
As you can see, they had a blast.
And gobbled up cake.
They drank up their tea.

Just one piece, Eisley!
And that was that.
