A Mad Hatter's Tea Party Blog Hop

Once upon a golden afternoon, on a day much like today, Alice was picking flowers and daydreaming. It was warm day with not a cloud in the sky....Suddenly a white rabbit appeared yelling...
"I'm late,I'm late!" Alice ran down the trail to follow him as he disappeared into the forest...

Alice followed him closely, but he was just out of sight....

"Where could he have gone to?" Thought Alice. She looked and looked for him.....

Suddenly she came to a doorway... It was locked. She tried to peek through the keyhole and she could see the rabbit running through the loveliest garden you could ever dream about! I was like magic in this new and wonderful place!

 But how would she get through the doorway? For she was much too big to fit through such a tiny space.... Just then a voice said, "Why don't you try the bottle on the table?"

 Alice picked up the bottle, it had a sparkling tag that read: Drink Me... She brought it to her lips and drank the whole bottle. It was delicious! "What a strange feeling!" said Alice...

She noticed that she had become so tiny and then realized that now she would be able to get through the door, when the voice said, "Yes, but I'm locked." She had forgotten all about the key that was on the table before she drank from the bottle that had made her so small... Just then she noticed that there was a small cake bearing the words"Eat Me..."

The cake was deliciously wonderful tasting, she started to grow, and grow, and grow.....

" But now I'm so big!" Said Alice, then she noticed there were a few drops left in the bottle. She drank the last few drops and thought, This will be Perfect! She was able to open the door.... beyond the door was the most beautiful garden she could ever imagine! Flowers with such beautiful scents, birds singing the most magnificent songs she had ever heard, and delicious treats all around her... she heard the white rabbit calling to her, but she could not resist tasting them...

"Oh what a strange and magical place!" Thought Alice. She could see no one in sight, but she heard strange singing. At first she didn't see anyone, then she saw a smiling mouth... and two eyes!

Then the whole body of a cat appeared. "Why your a Cat!' Exclaimed Alice. "Yes, a Cheshire Cat."

"Would you please tell me which way to go?" Alice asked the Cheshire Cat. "That depends where you want to go" said the cat. "but if you really want to know, he went that way", said the Cat pointing.  "How very curious indeed", said Alice as she started walking through the woods. Soon she came into a big clearing where there was a big table set up for an afternoon tea...

There were several tea cups and a large pot of hot tea, and small delicate cakes that looked so delicious...

The Mad Hatter greeted her. "I'm sorry for interrupting your Birthday party" said Alice politely. "This is not a Birthday Party," said the Mad Hatter. "This is an unbirthday party."

"A what?" asked Alice. The Mad Hatter explained that everyone has one birthday a year but there are 364 unbirthdays. "Well, this is my unbirthday too!" Said Alice. "Well "Delightful! Let's celebrate... I'll pour the tea!" said the Mad Hatter.

"Would you like One lump or Two"......

So many wondrous things to see......

It's like a Wonderland!

"Twinkle,twinkle,little bat!

How I wonder where your at.

Up above the world you fly,

Like a tea tray in the sky.

Twinkle,twinkle:"

She was truly in a Wonderland where everything was different from the world in which she lived....

Even the bread and butterflies that fluttered around her seemed to be having a splendid time....

"Oh Thank You so much for such a delightful and magical day, I shall remember it always."

Said Alice with a smile in her heart.

The End for now....

Carney Dreaming

Hello everyone! Hope all is well with you on this lovely Monday!! I Have been incredibly busy this past week. Lots of exciting and fun happenings around here this week. We celebrated my daughters 24th Birthday this past weekend, had a lovely weekend visit with my Mother and niece. They got to be the first guests to Glamp out in the Gypsy. Even though it was in the front yard, it was still fun! And.... we have a new *BIG* ,*FUN* project underway!!! We're going to be CARNEY's!!!

What? you may say... YES! CARNEY's! My husband's had a lifelong dream of owning a Popcorn Truck since he was a young boy... The cards all fell in the right places to make this dream a reality....

Sooo we brought home the 1926 Dodge Brothers popcorn truck on Thursday, and the construction has started!!!

It takes a true visonary to take a dream and turn it into a reality! Putting it out into the universe really works! With determination and imagination of what could be...We have alot of work ahead of us.
The Goal is 60 days....
She came from the Shaniko Museum and had been laid to rest there for the last 35 years.

Well, the rest is over. It's time to wakeup, get dolled up and start showing off the beauty that was always inside of her, and get back to work!

 She has had such gathering of strangers already. People are coming out of the woodwork, stopping and asking questions. She already is putting smiles on the faces of everyone who sees her! Neighbors we have never met, stopping and introducing themselves, to catch a closer look and hear about her history. It's really special.

 I can't wait to share her restorative journey with you...It's going to be an adventure for sure! Wish us luck!!! Until next time.... "Get your popcorn here"!!!
