Once upon a time, there was a magical tea party...
...where every teacup and every plate was a treasure from mysterious lands far away...
... and where the bounty of summer was arranged in edible bouquets on every surface...
...where the cupcakes were decorated with edible flowers and topped with rose flavored frosting...
...where dainty finger foods sat on silver trays on the lanai...
...and every pillow was a work of art.
The hostess of this gathering was a beautiful fairy sprite clothed in green...
...and the assembled guests listened to peaceful fountains tinkling in the courtyard as they ate, drank, and talked the afternoon away.
The party was made up of some of the most creative and kind folk in the whole town, such as Dylan, a musician, visual artist. clothing maker (note his handmade leather pants!), and a student of ancient cultures, who brought Druid Oracle cards for the party to divine with...
...and there was Bluebird, a musician, costumier, sculptress, painter, and dancer, whose name tells you the story of her radiant spirit...
...and in the middle of what would have been a humdrum week, a group of friends got to be dressed up in their finery, and live a moment out of time, in which pleasure and conversation ruled the world...
If you are curious to learn more about Bluebird and Dylan, I strongly suggest checking out their band, Lasher Keen. They are off on a tour of Europe next month, so heads up to my European readers! They put on a show that is absolutely not to be missed... they have been described as "The illegitimate love child of a Pagan ritual & the Velvet Underground." I couldn't put it any better!
