But then so was Alice's adventure in Wonderland.
This is a very busy table so there are more pictures than I usually show.

I found Alice at a TS and I think her expression says it all....

My son found the top hat at a little antique store I think the Mad Hatter lost it there.

One toad stool (portabella mushroom) came from the grocery store. the other on was growing wild and it looks like it belongs in Wonderland. I'm going to google it to see what kind it is~~~I probably should have done that first!!

    This is the epitome of whimsy and delight!

    You have all of the necessary elements to make this table truly a wonderland! I like how you layered all the different colors. Is that chiffon?

    Alice looks like she is very confused at having just come down the rabbit hole, LOL

    Not only do you have the top hat, but your Cheshire grinning cat and the "tea" pouring out of the teapot is so clever. All of the different teacups and the different mushrooms (I hope it wasn't a poison one, LOL) Everything is just spot on!!

    What a cute and clever table.
    I loved it!!

    TFS,

    Nana, this has to be one of the cutest tables I've seen. I'm probably smiling as big as the Cheshire Cat right now!! What wonderful, delightful things you've found for it. "Alice" is perfect with that expression she has!!

    Yep, definitely 'over the top'....in the best way possible.

    If you could bottle just a tiny of bit of your creativity and send to me, I'd be thrilled. :o)

    Nana,

    WOW, It Really Is A "Whimsical" Table! Love you way the placed your table cloth. The smiling cat is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Love The Teapot Pouring and all the Rabbits, the mushrooms and I can't forget what a Deal you got Alice at the thrift store! You are so Lucky.

    What a Great imagination you have and it all worked out perfect!

    Loving the old skeletal keys and the cups! What a perfect summer table scape!

    Great Job! As Always, enjoy seeing all the pretty decorations and table scapes here.

    Sure do miss everyone being here! Glad we are all still here and your imagination is working fine!

    Love To You!

    Nana, just love this table! So agree with all the others comments.
    Thank you so much for keeping us entertained. Alice is beautiful!!!

    I started staining our deck and got 2/3 done. Now it's been raining
    for days so I will try to finish that project this weekend. I've went
    from redwood to white with a gray floor.

    Today I'm into the cleaning mode. Curtains came down and boy
    did they all need washed, ironed and rehung. Even the walls and
    baseboards are getting cleaned! Guess there is a reason this rain
    seems to be steady!LOL

    Not sure when I'll be back setting tables and decorating. I'm just letting
    life throw me what ever right now. Must admit it was faster dusting this
    morning than what it used to be with all the decor out.

    Thanks again for the smile this table brought. So cute! Punk

    Thank you Candy, Karen, Creek and Punk

    Candy, the fabrics are chiffon. DD2 gave them to me. She used them as runners on tables for a surprise 70th BD party my family gave me a few years ago.
    I hope you will share a table with us soon.

    Gee Punk you sure have been busy,as usual! Did you get your new floors installed yet?

    I hope every one is enjoying summer.

    I know I'm Late...I'm Late....but
    Had to jump in and say how much I love ALL the creativity that went into
    This table Nana! 'Alice and her expression' is priceless..You really created a Wonderland for sure.
    This may be over the top,but just perfect for Alice...and for the rest of us to enjoy.

    Hi Nana...I agree with you about Summer not lasting long enough.
    I couldn't believe my eyes when I was shopping last week...they were stocking the shelves with School supplies. The kids just got out of school the week before! They also were running half off Summer Sales...I think it's disgusting they push the Seasons thru just to get people to buy.
    We started our house build just last week. Finally found an affordable plan with an affordable builder. Just hoping all goes smoothly and quickly.
    Thanks for asking.
