Adorable cork dolls! You are so creative.
I hope you and your guests swing by my tea party. I have party hats and baubles and moondancing waiting for you at my tea party.
I'm so sorry to start my mingling so late ... but I promise that I am going to visit every guest ... even if it takes me all night and all day tomorrow! * giggles with delight *

Lots of lovely cushions for all to sit on, everyone bring their left over goodies!!!
They are so lovely and unique! I had a wonderful day! I am happy and still a bit dizzy from all the sugar and excitement!

Your fairy cork dolls are wonderful!! They have been so nice to me at the party. I had the most wonderful conversation with Connie about wine and the best way to plant your vines. Thank you for sharing your friends with us.
Nancy
What a marvelous guest list! I'm a little intimidated about the Queen attending -- I totally wore the wrong shoes. Think she'll notice?
What fanciful little creations! I love seeing something different and new!
Wow. I Love this idea. Very quirky & fun. Also a great way to recycle :)
Adorable Corkdolls!! Hey...you, too, must be a wine drinker...as I ALWAYS say: "The secret ingredient to ALL things is good wine!"
I wish I had had time to pull out my clothes pin dolls and join the tea party - but the little man is still here and we went to see Wall-E and eat popcorn, then off to the library for a stack of books: dinosaurs, snakes, dinosaurs, snakes, shadows and one storybook about imagination. =)
But I could always be like the rabbit...I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! =)
Those Cork Fairies are so beautiful. Very talented work.
Many Blessings,
Kelli
thank you so much for introducing us to your very special friend. I just love your cork people.
Karen
OOOHHH.... wasn't Vanessa's party just splendid today?? I've yet to recover from all of the festivities! I am so glad that you stopped by to visit me and even more glad to have had the chance to visit you! How wonderful are the fairy cork dolls??? Loooove them! : ) I'll be coming back by to visit often!
: )

just checking in to thank everyone for their visit. I am getting sleepy, but not quite ready to hit the pillows (I'm having too much fun!).
calamitkim - I tried visiting, but was only directed to your (very empty) profile page. thanks for stopping by & come back anytime.
Donna - lol ... I hate to admit it, but no, not really. I do have a glass once in a blue moon. Does that count? A friend surprised me with a huge bag (more than 100, I'm sure) of corks ... and it appears that the majority are from the same type of champagne - go figure! ... AND please be like the white rabbit ... better late than never!
the girls wanted me to tell all of you that they are having such a wonderful time with everyone - thank you for making them feel so welcome. :)
Oh now that is my kind of crowd!
Especially that Olivia, and MewMew would fit right in, around here. I think those cats of mine, have moved on from tea to champagne - 'cause I just heard a ~PoP~
At least I hope it was champagne...
I love your lovely party poppers - those are showstoppers!
I'll stop gushing now :-)
so nice to have met you at the party!! i love giveaways!!
wonderful to see you here with all your friends. I'm also partying all night and all day to see everyone's wonderful things.
I think Penelope is my favorite ~ adorable! I hope they all had a wonderful time at the MaD tEa PaRtY!!
What beautiful guests! I do hope everyone had a grand time sipping tea and dancing on tables...what a delight!
ok ... I've hit my limit and have to go seek a quiet corner and a soft squishy pillow for a bit. I haven't had my partying fill (I'm only up to R ... and of course I started at the bottom of the list), so I hope nobody minds a super late arrival ...
... zzzz ....
LOL! I love your fairies! I hope you have all had a good time at the party!
Queens of the Cork....
and, don't stop at the list....don't think I made it onto that...but we did have a party over at the Bearister Bookcase none the less. Stop by if you have time tomorrow.....
What guests you have!
I'd be delighted to spend time with all of them.
what a super blog.
ps you'd love Morocco.
Sadly, we are now back in NY
So happy to meet you and all your friends. Cute, Cute, Cute!
Kelley

It's quite busy here! But who wouldn't be in the compagny of the lovely cork girls...I'm in to have one of them staying over here I like them all.
Party!!
Well you may not have had time to make yourself a costume for the party but your guests are definitely dressed to the nines!! These are fantastic and what a creatively inspired idea!! Nice to meet you at Vanessa's!
How fun! I can't decide whether I like Mew-Mew or Olivia best - they are both simply adorable! I am also having a give-away at my place; be sure to stop by if you haven't already! :)
What fun! I have enjoyed visiting your blog this morning!
Better late than never? What a delightful party you put together here!
Happy day!
Melissa

Hi! wow! I love its! Are so cute!! nice to meet you! I hope you visit my blog too!
Marina
I love your tea party,and those fairy cork fairies, I love them.
Oh how delightful. So hard to pick a favorite, but Olivia is so-o-o charming!
O! your SWEET cork fairies remind me of the only one I have ever made! It was included in an altered book I sold maybe 2-3 years ago!!!I think I used my pic as a baby! I probably have a pic somewhere in my files! I would LOVE a fairy to fly here to WV!!!I might have to try and make another one, I have saved some corks!
It's nearly 1:00 pm (the day after, dontcha know) and I am just now reaching the last of the "p's" ... I sure hope nobody minds that we're being way more than fashionably late ...
Such a fine time, I am still lingering! So lovely to meet you (you certainly did get around-well done!)
I'm back with Mimosa's for everyone this morning since some of us just arrived to the party:)
These cork dolls are wild..I love them! And I really like backgrounds you used..these look like they belong in a storybookl:) I would love to win one (Especially Olivia). See you around!
~Christine
Now THIS is my kind of crowd! Can I be a groupie?
Really, this post is TERRIFIC ~M~!
So creatively wonderful.
Thank you !
Constance
Those are gorgeous! What a great idea - my kids collect our corks and are always looking for new uses for the multitudes! Thanks for stopping by our picnic, too. xo
what a charming party you had!
my pictures are going up today, please stop on by for a peek!
do you remember that I mentioned I started from the bottom of the list? ... well, I just hit "J" and feel like I am making some serious progress. :)
I am amazed and delighted by everything I've seen - what a glorious treat!
LOVE your cork art! I am now inspired to create art from my wine corks from the many winery jaunts DH and I make. Sorry that I am a bit late to party with you at your place...thanks for stopping over to party with me...the great thing is the party never really ends :-)
Cheers,
Amy

Thanks so much for inviting me to your party. Little did we know Vanessa's party would extend to the weekend, and possible longer. Thanks for stopping by and having tea with me, also. You had a divine guest list, by the way. Come back soon. Ta, Ta, Susan
I love your tea party crowd!
Thanks for stopping by my
tea party!

You are so creative it hurts! ;)
What a fanciful party your have put together! How very creative and whimsical. Cork dolls ...how inventive! Now let's see ...did you drink all that bubblely?
How devine this party has been ...I still have so many to visit so I'm off for more cake and tea.
Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by my little soiree. I must confess I was so tired, I fell asleep in a little pile of glitter and now I have it all over myself!
I had a nice giggle over your cork people. So funny.
Thanks, and stop by anytime - I just love company!
Kate
What a fanciful and sophisticated group of party-goers you had. I hope there were no headaches the next morning!
Count me in!! :-)
So glad to meet you at this party....even if it is a little late :-)
Hugs!
Michelle
I feel like I just fell down the rabbit hole! What a fantastic place of altered and repurposed things. I am enthralled by the little cork fairys. How clever!
What a fabulous creative tea party.
I love these little "corkies!"
Thanks for sharing tea with me!
Come visit again.
What a FUN looking bunch of guests!
I LOVE your set up!
*laughing*
Those cork charachters are so creative!
Amber Dawn
You are SO creative! What an imagination! I loved your fairies, especially Esmerelda and Mathide, who looks a lot like my grandmother. Her name was Matilda, oddly enough.
mew mew is the cutest. and the queen with wings!?! fantastic!:) what a great tea party.
ahahahah! these are so cute!! i love that you stuck those girls in cork!
Your guests are just lovely and attired quite beautifully. Did you all have a good time?
All of yoru revelers are wonderful!!! And I don't have to put any of you to work because the lovliest thing about my party is that it's a SELF-CLEANING party. Never heard of one of those? Well, that's the beauty of Neverland: "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
So very lovely indeed.
I love the Japanese lady in your collage......
I love all things from the Orient.
Love you.
Thanks for your visit and kind words.
Love Jeanne

Sorry, I'm late. But you make such lovely cork fairies. They'll amazing. I'm so glad I stopped by for tea.

Very humourous! Hope you managed to enjoy many bottles of wine to create these corks! It would be so disappointing to have to purchase them individually!
What a fabulous display of mad teac party guests! I love your cork people! Please enter me in the contest!!
Sandy:)
Those are GREAT! Love all of the styles. Cork wonders!!!!!!!!! Thanks for stopping by :) Janell

I will don my hat and gloves, hold my tea cup without the pinky extended and remember to take small bites so that polite conversation can be maintained....all the way from Australia. How delightful...

I am SO beyond thrilled that I won!!! Esmerelda will fit RIGHT in around here, thank you SO SO much!
I'm probably too late to join but...will comment anyway!!
I think that your Fairies are THE most interesting little group of ladies I have seen in a very long time!!! Would love to know how you came up with the idea to do that!!! (me thinks there might have been wine involved!!)
Total whimsy!!!
debbie
(I'm here from Fond of Snape...her Esme is wonderfully wicked looking!!!)
