A Hatless Hatters Tea

Our open house was today. It was a sort of mad dash because the weather has not been entirely cooperative and a slew of rain cost us a boatload of setup time. Consequently... unfortunately... loads of Alice details were missing from our Mad Hatter's Tea. It's disappointing because I KNOW that the details are everything.


Those imperfections are hard to swallow. They stress me out. They make me short and gruff with the kid. My amazing kid! This kid who was such a tremendous help and makes me so so proud.


Those imperfections make me crazy! I wonder how disappointed visitors are. I dwell on the things that didn't make it out of my head. I have to tell myself "It's a nice afternoon. It's free and family friendly. Do the kids that visit care?"


Nope. They're pleased as can be to look at houses in trees...


To discover sleeping baby pixies cocooned in old stumps...


To spy fairy tea parties...


To peek at the Mud Pit ...


 And hopefully get some fairy mail too!


The most important people, my littlest visitors, didn't care one bit that my Mad Hatter's Tea was completely hatless :)

 
If you'd like to visit the studio or wander the fairy garden it'll be set up through September. Just shoot me a message to let me know when you'd like to stop by. I'm usually available but it's best to make sure I'm not in pajamas when you arrive. At least 48 hours notice is required if you'd like fairy mail waiting for you.
