T.A.R.D.I.S. Tea Party

Hello from Team Oolong, I know it's been quiet for a bit, but the TARDIS and I have been very busy being creative for our tea party.   We were diligently making the invitations, a banner, planning the menu and Bow Tie's, cause, Bow Ties are COOL.  The TARDIS and I spent many an evening in the craft room plotting, planning and creating a Tea Party worthy of “The Doctor” all 12 of them.  

As my invited guests are major “Whovians”.   Some of you may not be familiar with Doctor Who, it is a “BBC” television series that has been around since 1963.  I was introduced to the 4^th Doctor many years ago (1976) when I was only then dating my darling husband.  A person who follows the Doctor Who series is called “Whovians” so I guess that is what you would call our family.  Because you could find us all together when our girls were living at home, in front of the Television on a Saturday night, oh and you can’t forget the Christmas evening specials, LOL  

     




So with the help of the TARDIS and my very knowledgeable hubby we were off and running or shall I say  creating.    This was our invitation.

This was our Weeping Angel Banner, it says “Don’t Blink”

WHAT THE DOCTOR WILL TELL YOU REGARDING THE WEEPING ANGELS.

Well it was a very enjoyable afternoon.  Although one of my guests was not able to attend the party, as she is recovering from a mini Stroke she  had earlier this week, even though she thought she would be able attend, fatigue got the best of her.  As I would have loved having her enjoy the festivities,  The TARDIS and I  much rather her stay home and  rest to regain her strength.  Respectfully requesting prayers for Janice and a speedy recovery.

Well we haven't made any plans for this week, but you never know where you may find us although we are going camping for Thanksgiving.  so stay tuned to Team Oolong...

HAPPY MONDAY

First things first ----coffee has its very own server! Tea and coffee do not touch each other. Only time that happened is when I asked my mom whether she wanted tea or coffee. She did not make her choice know. Guess what!? She got both in the same cup! 

Pulling things together for my big tea party a week from Wednesday. Joe and I are hosting the Tri County Button Meeting in Belfast , Maine. We will be serving refreshments for the day. We begin our day with each one having buttons out for show and tell and yes for sale. Then we gather around the tables for lunch and our program. I am giving the program on buttons and flowers. 

Dubley Tardis will be making his presentation. Will be doing things a bit differently that will make all in attendence comfortable. Please wait for the details. 

Dudley would like to show you who he has been keeping company with while everyone enjoys tea. 

Dudley says there is quite the unique gathering at this tea party. Not only are there the Grannys of the World ladies but there are household members. They not only frighten the mouse from under the Queen's chair, but they join her at the table for tea and milk.  Milk is served in cut glass bowls for the two elegant ladies --Bunny Elizabeth the silver lady and Lily Joy the golden girl. Then there is Dr. Luke D'Moose. Peaking around the corner is Dolly Rose. Not to be forgotten is Pepe keeping watch over the grand party. Oh, and we can't forget the bears. They keep appearing from all over. They sure like marmalade on their scones!

Being a time machine, Dudley is quite impressed with the travel technology in Rumford, Maine. Look at all the countires we can travel too and by night time we are sleeping in our own beds dreaming of the day's adventure. He heard there are a number of other countries we can zoom too in quick order. May someday just have to stay longer as his fill up my passport.

Just a nother view of the Grannies and bears with Dr. Luke and me ( Dudley of course ).
