mad hatter's tea party by kathryn

Once upon a time, not your time nor my time, but one time, there was a room, a mystical, fantastical room, overflowing with streamers and cupcakes and heart-shaped balloons. All you had to do was follow the white bunny...

For in this room, this amazing room in the land of M, a tea party was held, also starting with M. Twas the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, and what an event it was! There were bunnies, ribbons and marshmallows too and of course there were guests, who had hearts of gold. 

For you see, it was a joyous, wondrous, celebratory event, new people were met, stories were told, friends were made and games played at the spectacular Mad Hatter’s Tea Party event. 

The guests came in, donated a toy, and were treated to a banquet of cupcakes and cookies and tea if you please. And at the end of the day, when time was up, it was with heavy hearts and equally heavy stomachs that the guests all left.  One by one they filtered out, laughing and chatting about the time they’d just had. Decorating classes had been won, and packet mixes too, they’d all left with new challenges, and were determined to see them through! The event was a success, with members new and old along for the ride. 

And the toys, oh the toys that were given, in ones and twos and threes and fours, they filled up the whole table, and most of James’ car! And the children when they receive them will be oh so glad, for a gift so simple, can mean so much, for those with such little. 

It’s not every day you get to dress up and visit Wonderland, but that’s exactly what happened at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Members old and new from Sweets by Sweets came along, met one another, and enjoyed a scrumptious feast of tea-cup cupcakes and Cheshire cat cake that would make the Mad Hatter himself proud. 

The event was a MAD success, with over 100 toys being donated to Tea for Toys. They will be sent to an orphanage in the Philippines, a much deserved home.
