I have been involved with most of the teas at our church, but this is the first one were I had to think outside the box of the traditional tea. I got a lot of ideas from Pinterest when I put in Mad Hatter. Once I got some ideas, I decided to use what I had and then added to it. Though white plastic tablecloths were provided, I decided I wanted color so I did purchase the green table cloth and napkins knowing I will use them again. I used my pansy plates I had from another tea along with Renee's white plates she got from my mom and dad. I also used my tea pots and teacups I had collected over the years that I have used in previous teas. My focus now was the centerpiece and the little accents to make it reflect the theme and still be what I liked. I set everything up on my dining room table as I went along using ideas from watching the Alice in Wonderland Tea party clips from U Tube. I had a little mouse from a MacDonald's kid meal of long ago. So I used that. When I went away with my friends, I found a plate to use in my tiered centerpiece. I also found a child's porcelan tea set that I included to add whimsy to the table. Renee and I went shopping at MIchael's to get the things she needed to bake for my table. They happen to have the flower shaped chargers in a bright deep mauve and it really brought made a big difference with the plates. There were butterly's in the movie and I found butterflies on a wire and I wrapped one around each honey stick I found at Sprouts.
