A MAD TEA ~ PARTY

Celia and I Welcome you to 'The Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market'

The Mad Hatter began as a vision from a story book, and memories from my daughters childhood, and lots of imagination. We then found this great little grange, and with help from family and friends that love us, we brought it to become concrete form. Piece by piece, until one day our vision became real.

We thank all the shoppers, visitors and vendors that are helping manifest our dream. The show was astounding and exhilarating. Celia and I are taking a little time to seize the moment. We want to savor it as long as we can. We hope all the vendors are taking a little time to enjoy their success, we couldn't do it with out you.

XO Glad & Celia






Hi Carol! I love The Mad Hatter Hat you found for me!!

Thank You! Blair Tellers from The Inlander!! You get us...The fun of discovering a broken-down nothing and turning it into something...its a gift of resourcefulness.

Getting ready to open up Wonderland for our visitors!

'The Bees Knees' Assistant Chef Shari, Chef Lynn, Tweedledum & Tweedledee
Food of course, the age-old companion of making everything better, Our 'Bees Knees' Menu pleased everyone.

The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, all on a summer day! The Knave of Hearts, he sole those tarts and took them quite away!!

Shari, serving up her delicious salad, this little lady has a heart bigger than her fork. She brings a smile to my heart and always a bright light to my day! XO






We unveiled OLIVER & AVA,a childrens vintage inspired clothing line of little girls tees with tulle and vintage jewels, little boys t-shirts with vintage graphics ~ they will be available at Ruffles & Rust, or leave us a comment if you are interested in purchasing a tee for your little one!!!!

OH! MY! OLIVER TURNS 2














Today is Oliver's Day! A day to make our little boy, feel like a KING!! Because his Birthday was the week of our wedding, we decided to celebrate his day after our wedding!
We had a very low-key celebration with extended family,
I didn't make a cake....But, I did make Chocolate Dipped GIANT Marshmallows! We bought the cutest party favors at our favorite store 'The Farm Chicks Store'.
Part of his celebration included roasting marshmallows at NaNa and Papa's home.
He opened gifts from us. He opened gifts from Dylan and Charlie, from Nana and Papa and Uncle Michael, Auntie Sonia and Uncle Mike, Marshall, Maddie, and Ava. Aunt Jan, Cousins Tera, Lele, Reilly and Shannon.

His gift from us is a family that loves him more than he'll every know.

Our gift is Oliver Cash

Love, Mommy
