Preparations for the Mad Tea Party

I realize that this really is not a big deal but it was to us. Lots of hours preparing costuming, the sets, the accessories and the props. Then the set up, make up and picture taking. This was all for this Saturday June 26th third annual Mad Tea Party. The brain child of Vanessa at http://afancifultwist.typepad.com/a_fanciful_twist/2010/04/the-mad-tea-party-2010-an-invitation-surprise.html  A Fanciful Twist. There are almost (at my last count) 200 participating blogs. Come Saturday you can check out how creative folks are.

The dress forms are a bargain bin find and embellished with buttons, bones, beads, sequins, wire, faux pearls from 1960's necklace, figural brass charms, washers and tulle, lace and raffia. I thought this was kinda fun.

The black one, I will use here for an upcoming event and the pearl encrusted one is listed in my Etsy store.

No rocket science but then I have yet to see someone display rocket science.....maybe I don't run in those circles though. LOL
