THE MAD HATTER TEA PARTY !

It's 3:00.  June is at the gate, it's open and our RSVP guests are arriving.
Soon the party and gate crashers will follow.
June has found a new polka dot hat to wear ... appropriate tea cups for she and mine Mommy.
Dormouse is running through the maze.  The March Hare can't be found.
Cheshire Cat is behaving, as promised!
The tables, arbors, alcoves, hide-aways, all decorated ... a portrait studio near
the front gate for those who want a memory of the event ... where are the strolling musicians?  Late as usual!

And Wilson ... and wonderful and charming Co-Host, oh yes ... there he is, at the ready!  
We volunteered him, you know [well, conscripted is the proper word], but he graciously accepted ...
and you'll read much more about him when scrolling below.

There are many guests attending today, so the party will go on through Sunday ... and if you've not time to meet and 
greet them all today, do come back later, they are all showing off their finest "mad hats" and more.


All pets pictures were submitted by their owners, many already wearing "hats",
some not.  All pictures were recreated by Zoolatry using Adobe Creative Cloud,
or enhancing images submitted.  No artificial intelligence art was used.
Two complete images were submitted and used here, as designed by their owners and so credited.
Guests appear in alphabetical order.



























Thank you for coming to The Mad Hatter Tea Party

IT'S 3:00 SOMEWHERE!


3:00 AM EASTERN TIME TOMORROW

JUNE OFFICIALLY OPENS THE GARDEN GATES

~ ~ ~ 

RSVP guests will enter first ~ there are many,
so the garden and the tea party will go on through
Sunday, October 25.

And we hope all who stop by
[even the party & gate crashers are welcome!]
will visit the many special guests
over these three days.

If you enter the maze, watch out for Dormouse,
he's in there, ready to tickle your paws ...

Do not be concerned about Cheshire Cat, he's purromised
to be on best behavior ...

And the March Hare, everywhere!  But warning,
no bunny chasing, please!

Never ever nibble on those mushrooms ...

Have a cup of tea!
