MAD TEA PARTY FOR PINK SATURDAY!!!



    WELCOME TO THE MAD TEA PARTY ON PINK SATURDAY!!

    FIRST but CERTAINLY not last, I MUST thank our MAD Tea Party HOSTESS EXTRAORDINAIRE...Vanessa VALENCIA from A Fanciful Twist.

    HERE are some ROSES and DIAMONDS for YOU..Darling!!!



    Inspired by the "MAD" theme I was drawn to a person in history 

    who I ADORE but find to be a bit "MAD" himself...I think you would agree...


    King Henry VIII

    I loved the Showtime series The Tudors...LOVED IT. 

    Having read Antonia Fraser's book, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, my FAVORITE

    WIFE by far has to be ANNE BOLEYN.



    If I could go back in time and pick someone to have TEA with today to celebrate 

    the MAD Tea Party it would DEFINITELY be QUEEN Anne!


    Look QUEEN ANNE..I made these cupcakes for you...




    Your NECKLACE



    A Red ROSE...Your favorite flower.



    A gold TEAPOT delicately painted with the TUDOR Rose.


    They are ALL for you, my QUEEN!


    I also made your FAVORITE tea time treat...the Maids of Honour.


    QUEEN Anne...let us relax at the tea table,





    sip our tea...



    ...and PLEASE...do tell me the story that made these treats so infamous.


    My dear, on one afternoon sunny and bright as my ladies and I enjoyed our afternoon tea and conversation accompanied by a tart like treat made with delicate sweet hands, we were drawn upon for a moment by His Grace, The King, who delighted in our frolic and took one cake into his mouth and forever became smitten.
    His Grace was convinced this dainty sweet luxury, as it made everyone so very happy to eat them, had powers beyond that of sustenance and so thereafter he imprisoned the humble maid who so carefully constructed this sweet confection for her Queen, within the Palace grounds and ordered her, on pain of death, to only make the "melt in the mouth" tarts solely for his pleasure with the recipe kept for His Grace 
    in a locked iron box at Richmond Palace. 



    MY QUEEN what a decadent TALE! I must also say THANK YOU for the 

    lovely TEA TOWEL you brought for me today! I LOVE it so and will TREASURE 

    it forever. Your signature and TUDOR rose are just FANTASTIC!!!!
