The hilarious Catter hatter party haberdashery winner...Or the winner of the ridiculous hats are...

So here we are on Friday already, where has the time gone?  I wanted to leave the Mad Tea Party blog up forever as it was just so much fun!!!  However some of you would like your winnings I expect (I hope).
Here are the prizes...

Aunt Louise's Bird Nest Hat... (Disclosure...the birds will not flap to help you carry the weight of the hat...)

Aunt Thelma's Tulle Frothy Thing... (winner beware, you might suffocate in the tulle!)

The Tea Cup hat with the cool tea bag tag... (please do not try to brew tea in the hat...  it leaks)

Or the Mushroom and Moss hat (please do not heat the mushrooms and Aunt Louise is not included...)

Or for the more sensible of you a lovely vintage tea cup and napkin...

  I was going to have the kitties pick the winner again but I am running out of time so I put all the follower's names that commented into a hat (not the fancy ones as the names would have forever been buried in the fluff and I would never have been able to get them out!).

So with no further ado, in first place and so first choice of the prizes goes to...
Kathryn from College Diva!!!!

Yea Kathryn! Which hilarious haberdashery concoction would you like?  Or would you rather like the tea cup?

Second name to come out of the hat is Karla of Dreamaginarius.  Your dream or nightmare hat will be winging it's way to you soon.  I know she would like the tea cup hat so if Kathryn does not choose that one then it is all yours.

The third name to come out of the hat is...  Tina of Carousel Dreams....  yea Tina!
Please pick yourself up off the floor, brace yourself for you might end up back on the floor with the weight of the hat and tell me which would you like (after the others choose please).

And lastly (there is still a choice so no one has to end up with the Aunt Thelma's Frothy Thing...)
Dawn from the Bohemian (which probably means Princes T will get a hat I expect...).

Also I had a few people extremely kind enough to make a donation to The Lucky Few (who the party was held for...) so the winner of the tea cup basket is...

...well the email that I received as part of the donation paper work has Mainlander in the name so I am not sure who of the followers they are but I will be emailing them directly.  Thank you so much for your generosity!

Yea for all of you and thank you soooooo much for playing with me at our party.  It was a crazy Catter blast and the kitties say a big furry thank you as well!

Blessings to all,
Tricia (aka Aunt Thelma of the kitties)

The Practical Magic... Looking Glass Trip

For you my little witches...  A Practical Magic inspired  story...

Aunt Louise and Aunt Thelma are enjoying an afternoon of chocolate cake and goodies after spending the day working on their spells.



Conjuring is such thirsty work don't you agree?

While they're enjoying themselves let's take a look inside their workshop...

It looks like they're cooking up something fun...  lets take a closer look.

Aahh yes... a tincture of Bella Donna...

To be placed in the tiny vials.  Just the thing to help one get a little "shut eye" .

But what's this?  Well it looks like they're brewing up a few heavenly concoctions as well...  Crystalized Amber to be turned into the most delicious perfume...

Anise pods for another wonderful tincture...

Rose petals to make a lovely water for toning your skin...  maybe that's why the Aunts don't age?

Powdered Sandalwood for incense, that's a bit of Bella Donna laying on the table just behind...

Bits and bobs for other goodies...  Sage and Ecanacia, lovely teas for the tummy and immune system.

Quail eggs, Dove and Eagle feathers,  you just never know what you will find...

What a magical place... loads of drying herbs and flowers...

Bunches of Sage and a jug of Lavender oil

As much as the Aunts are enjoying themselves...

They are thinking of wonderful far off places...

"Let's pack our bags and go for a bit of fun..."

"Light the sage...  oooohhh see it's working..."

The guardian at the gate watches...

"Are we ready?"

"Quick Louise look through the magic looking glass, do you see where we want to go?"

"Oh yes... there it is..."

"Sedona!"

"Only, something's different..."

"We have wings!!!"

"Louise, look at your eyes!"

"Thelma, your hair!"

"Did you know this would happen?  I think our instincts are getting a little rusty.  Maybe we can find a physic work shop while we're here."

"However I do love these wings!"

"Shall we go for a stroll?"  "Oh do, lets"

"Tea time, not quite as good as midnight margaritas but much easier on the head!"

"So thoughtful of you Thelma to pack the china"

"Shall we go to another magical place?"

"What do you see Louise?"

"Oh that looks lovely over there..."

"Oh I completely agree...  Lets go!"

"After all our own home is beautiful and magical!"

"Just us, these two old bitties living in this big house with all these cats"

"It's good to be home!"
