Childrens Tea Party Sets and Ideas Is Enjoying a Touch of Grandma Madcap Fun and Grandchildren Glee 2010

In the book, Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carrol, which is another story about the famous Alice and her Wonderland, there is a poem called The Walrus and the Carpenter. It has a verse I love to quote, with slight changes each time to make it appropriate to each new situation. It seemed especially perfect for this wonderfully sweet, mad, mysterious moment in time:

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,

“To talk of many things:

Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–

Of a little boys tea party

With a mismatched childrens tea set and things…

I must say, I have had such a delightful time over the past few weeks, visiting grandchildren near and far, having one little boys or girls tea party after another, and snapping photos like you wouldn’t believe! I think I’ve taken more pictures in the last month than I have all year long – both for our family album and for this, my Childrens Tea Party Sets and Ideas “Touch of Grandma Madcap Fun and Grandchildren Glee 2010.” It’s been great, and the grandchildren and I have created so many special memories in the process. That, of course, is the most important part of it all.

However, this being the time for the Mad Tea Party 2010 at A Fanciful Twist, it does behoove us to say many thanks to A Fanciful Twist for this very fun time, and share some of the delight with all of you, although, after several hours of cutting, pasting, fixing, editing, writing, and rearranging, there’s so so so many more pictures. I can tell we’ll be having fun for months to come. But for now, without further adieu…

The fun started earlier this week with a peaceful, quiet Sweet Tea Sunday. Then we enjoyed a vibrantly red childrens tea party with a bright red tea set for Rednesday. And now, the official moment we’ve been looking forward to since we read the fun invitation from A Fanciful Twist for the Mad Tea Party 2010, and it begins with my little grandsons. They went on a busy tea treasure hunt and found all sorts of intriguing creatures who wanted to join us for a little boys tea party with a little boys mismatched tea set…

There was the mysterious tea cup and tea pot, complete with fuzzy moustache…

Followed by the cheerful dinosaurs…

And don’t forget Ms. Frog! I think she thinks she’s late…

Not to mention…our special guest, Ms. Gingerbread troll toy doll…

So much fun, so much laughter, so many special memories. But it was time to bid the boys ta ta, for now. Not for long but…

And once again…

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,

“To talk of many things:

Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–

Of a little girls tea party or two

With childrens tea sets and things…

It was now time to move on to a new locale. I joined up with Fairy Princess Penelope…

and Fair Princess Purplopia and their entire fairy family…

.

..to travel to my granddaughters to explore their favorite childrens tea sets and party ideas….

First it was a kids Pooh Bear toy tea set…

With a somewhat happy Eeyore…

Followed by Pooh himself who was having a grand old time with his silly old bear tea party games…

We even enjoyed some beary tasty teddy grahams…

Then, my granddaughters and I heard from the royal animals and their great leader…

They informed us it was time for one of their delightful princess tea parties, complete with a childrens princess tea set…

And, of course, a royal sceptre…

We musn’t forget the royal tea party etiquette, lovely ball gowns, and the proper attire, from the crowns

To the royal slippers…

And plenty of guests to go all around! They had so much fun, they couldn’t wait til after the party to send us a copy of the photo they took – they emailed it to us in the midst of the fun!

My favorite guest, by far, was this cheerful fellow, busy balancing his childrens tea set pieces very carefully and minding all his tea party etiquette “Ps and Qs.”

There was so much more my grandchildren and I wanted to do, but one last time…

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,

“To talk of many things:

Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–

Of washing up the childrens tea set cups and saucers

And putting them all away,

Of sleepily sharing with mums and dads

The fun and special memories of each and every day

But someday soon, we’ll do it again

And, ohhhh, the fun it will be

A Children’s Tea Party set,

several adorable grandchildren….

And you…

and me….
