In June, I'm hosting a garden party for my girl friends to come over and hang out. It's a Mad Hatter Tea Party theme and it's been several months in the making. I can't wait! I'm a girl on a budget, but I'm gonna make this work!
Isn't this a cute vintage wonderland?
Been a Baking Betty today 
Been a Baking Betty today (any excuse to wear one of my sassy kitchen aprons)
making Lemon Squares & Pecan Tarts, and testing out a few different finger sandwich recipes.
The girls all have their invites,
and everyone seems pretty excited about it.
[ Posting a picture of the invitations I made soon ]
They're texting me about finding new dresses, or digging thru closets and getting their favorite sundresses out, or what foods they're going to bring. I'm still trying to find/make a croquet set.
A true Alice in Wonderland fan.
Trying to turn my backyard into a little Wonderland. But I rent a house in a relatively new neighborhood where every house looks the same and no tree is above 6ft., so I'm going to have to be creative with decorations and shade from the June summer heat. I definitely have a blank canvas. I'm on a constant hunt for baskets, and tea cups, and cute country fabrics/tablecloths.
I found a great little hutch someone was tossing out :)
and yeah... I took it.
[Post a picture of it soon too]
It was a bright orange coral color when I found it,
but plan to paint it either
A) Medium Purple
B) Pretty Dark Turquoise
C) Apple/Lime Green
(a small part of me wants to paint it a hot pink, because never again would I ever have a pink hutch if i had to purchase it)
That's all for now... don't wanna give away too many surprises with some of the girls peeking on my blog ;)
