TAKING TEA WITH ALICE

The movie Alice in Wonderland is out in the theatres today! Are you going? I'm excited to see this adaption of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp, as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska, as Alice Kingsley. Just for some fun, I decided to dress the kitchen table and "Take Tea with Alice." Here's the whimsical scape...
So many times I read Alice in Wonderland as a young girl, following her adventures as she fell down that rabbit hole...

Please take your seat...

"Husband" is the Mad Hatter and I'm Miss Alice...today!

Cute little Alice tea plates...

"I wish I hadn't cried so much!" said Alice, as she swam about trying to find her way out. "O Mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming about here, O Mouse!" I adore the teacups and saucers!

I used blue gingham napkins to coordinate them with the placecards...

The placecards...

"This is most curious tea party I've ever been to," said Alice.

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...

"Why yes, I'm very fond of tea, " said Alice.
