Once Upon a Time…

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

Once Upon a Time there was a Wicked Fairytale Party with Riding Hoods, Wolves, Humpty, Alice, Fairies, Princesses, the Mad Hatter and more! It was a crazy evening of storybook fun, complete with gingerbread house and castles. Here’s a look at our annual party….

 

Public Notice

 

Public Notice sign at front entrance alerted guests to all the comings and goings in the land of Far Far Away. Did you know the Damsels in Distress had their own club?

 

Dorothy’s House

 

Dorothy’s House just so happened to land next to ours on this fateful night. Unfortunately the witch still couldn’t be saved!

 

Humpty Dumpty

 

Inside, my oddly shaped paper mache Humpty Dumpty was waiting to greet all guests of our kingdom.

 

Gingerbread House Bar

 

The kitchen, of course, became the inside of the gingerbread house with no walls or cupboards left uncovered. I wanted to make part of it edible but was worried about having a family of ants crash the party. Originally, the ceiling was to be a literal popcorn ceiling. Oh well!

 

Princess and the Pea Bed

No fairytale party would be complete with the princess and the pea bed.

 

Mad Hatter Tea Party

This is my version of the mad hatter party in my courtyard. Throw a few mismatched tablecloths, alternating red and black chargers, clock inlays, used misfit china, old books, and torn lamps on a table and voila! a tea party suited for all my guests!

 

The End

The last words you saw when leaving the party. Sad :(

Note: I have more pics to post but my site is being stubborn and not letting me upload them. I’ll check back later and cross my fingers that it works.
