A Mad Hatter Tea Party






Did I mention we do fun stuff at work? My bosses came up with the idea to have a Mad Hatter Tea Party just as the new movie was coming out. We all dressed up (mildly) and set a large table for a tea party. Customers that paid to come to it were all sat at the same table, decorated like the movie/book. We covered it with teapots and teacups of every color, meringue mushrooms dusted with cocoa powder, a chocolate jelly roll that looked like a real log, a caterpillar made of cupcakes, hedgehogs made with good n' plenty candies, red heart cookies, and so, so much more! I got to play the white rabbit. Perfect for me, always neurotic about being late for anything! My middle son Logan played the Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp style - although it was more of a cross with his Willie Wonka character and the Mad Hatter. Very Tim Burton-ish. Anyway, we had a great time, the customers loved it - especially the walk-ins that had no idea what we were doing that day. It was a lot of fun. I'll miss this crew when we move.
