A Birthday Celebration and Give-Away

I can resist anything but temptation!
- Oscar Wilde
Welcome to my Half of our Double Blog Birthday Party!
Won't you venture into the
Enchanted Woods with me for
an exclusive
Lollipop Luncheon
Our Invitation was hand delivered by a very well dressed Lollipop man, apparently this luncheon is very formal ....
Make sure you dress appropriately.
This is what I will be wearing... and yes... I keep swirly pops in my pocket for emergencies.

It is such an honor to be invited to a Lollipop Luncheon, it is very rare that humans get to attend such a secretive event. The Lollipops seem excited, they are peeking out as us from around trees...
...and popping out from behind bushes
Since this secret event is to be held deep within the forest, we will need a guide.
Stay close, you don't want to get lost and miss the fun
Mind the Toadstool Candy Containers, keep up and follow the candy trail as it winds through the forest....
I think we must be getting close to our destination...
Here is a pretty sight - a table set just for us!
Mmmmmm, Lollipop luncheons are famous for having the MOST delectable delights.
Find your place, the gumdrops are keeping a card just for you...
....here is Lori Rudolph's card, I hope she can break away from her festivities to join us.
And here is my place, can you find yours?? Gumdrops can be unreliable... they tend to wander off...
Let the Luncheon Begin!
A Toast with Bubble Gum Champagne
- my Favorite!
Help yourself to a Strawberry Tart - they seem so happy to be here

These Petit Fours seem happy too - their little cherry hats are so cute, tied with a striped ribbon and cinched with a vintage velvet flower.
Cinnamon Spice

And Double Dutch Chocolate
Oh, what a lovely Curious Cupcake
Do help yourself... I love the frosting the best, don't you?

MMmmm, which one should I choose?
Wooops, EXCUSE ME! please forgive us for disturbing you
CoCo Creme seems an amiable fellow...
We seem to have startled this Cupcake of yellow!
Rum Cupcakes are SO defensive!
Just to be on the safe side, perhaps I should just indulge in a treat from my favorite Bakery
"one true weakness"
like the name says - EVERYTHING is made from scratch!
Since it's my Birthday, I think I will sample just a few more of these
tantalizing treats... this little French Bon Bon looks harmless enough!
OH! how cute is he! I just couldn't eat him!
I see you have helped yourself to a French Bon Bon of your own
Shocking indeed!
This Lemon Curd pie seems a bit upset by your behavior...
Look out! the FORK the FORK!
I get the feeling we are not welcome anymore - you really shouldn't have eaten that poor little Bon Bon!
I don't like the looks these
"Two Faced" Lollipop men are throwing our way....
Let's wander further down the path and join Lori for her Woodland Tea Party
Retro Rudolph's Party
