Pssst are you here for the party???
It's time to welcome the guests!
The 150 year old homestead is waiting...it rests..
sitting solid and still in the winter sun, in anticipation of some mysterious fun....
My table is set and all I need are the guests, lets hope they dont just make a mess...
with winter veges from my gardens heart, and chickens eggs, the savoury tarts
we coloured my sushi, ohh the madness begins
all you do is put some food colouring in! (your rice water)
we have all the pink liquids a girl could need....
and thick chocolate brownies, but you can read....
cupcakes a plenty in every style
from mad to pretty to wicked to wild!
flags a plenty hung in our trees, to blow in the wind, and dance with the bees..
it may be winter but the sun is a glow, the weather was kind, it put on quite a show...
now the guests have arrived, there a five to be seen, they come so dressed up, we all walk in this dream...
so much to adorn our bodies so fine, we dress in our treasures, that we collect over time...
treasures galore, and jewels all on show, the frills and the lace, the way mad parties go...
so pull up your britches and get your boots on, the party is starting with a fun little song..
we crack open the wine, to toast everyone here, some came from so far, some came from so near..
would you like a cup, pink Moscato is served, theres plenty of food, your place was reserved...
have some lemony tart, or other treats to share, eat it all or eat none, no tummy is bare...
did you wear a nice hat, with flowers from the past, who knows what hands antiques have passed..
we also have tea, of the raspberry kind, or cranberry juice, but ohh that wine...
Hmmmmm hang about, whats this that I see, something on the table what could it be??
a little roll tied at the middle, its so exciting a tea party riddle...
there had to be a treasure hunt, you know by now, resist I cant!!
so off they go in the winter breeze, to find the notes but not with ease
they have to think and use their heads, think crypticly with skill instead...
the clues are hidden everywhere, a wild goose chase, a mad affair...
"Around the rear, the rock heart stands, with years of moss like fairy lands, You'll find me here fired cracks of shell, am I hidden or placed where I fell?"
they lay in waiting in all sorts of ways, its so fun to revisit our childlike ways...
"Go to the sea, where rushing water hits sand, a pohutukawa grows, only one hand to land, who's the tallest, who can see, how high I hang, how you gonna get me?"
we run around in a magical daze, having fun and hunting for something it says....
the very last clue, thats 7 in all, leads you to the treasure or haul...
In a stump there lays a box of old
but what is this inside, what treasures does it hold...
an antique key, so large and worn, its for the house, a new adventures born...
so back we go up the garden path, to peek inside a place of past..
turn the key, to the left, a hundred times is usually best...
in we come, to explore, a historic house my family bore
a time warp we have graced upon, a place where peace and silence shone..
the eerie house with pasts galore still had secrets to explore..
another note hung pending fun , yes, this hunt was far from done
"Look up ahead, dont fear the keeper, there is a box for the un-scared seeker, made of wood and filled with heart, but can you tell this box apart?"
up the stairs, the girls did climb, wondering what they now could find...
a treasure chest, under piles of dust, inside a box of things once lost...
we gather round, excited still, what is this jar, a time capsule??
as we descend the steepest stairs our hunt is done, our treasures it bares..
it is a capsuel with forms to fill, about our lives / dreams coming still....
.
where we are at and want to be, its all recorded for us to see...
when we return in 10 years time, to dig it up and drink some wine...
will we be where we once thought, will our dreams be what they ought..
a new tea party that will be and all the results, I cant wait to see ..
so we bury our jar, in a special place, one that forever cant be replaced
our lives are held and sent to this earth, to work out which of our dreams will work.
So long time capsule, see you in 10, we will all return, will we be mad then??
Here we played for a special day, an extraordinary day, they all did say.
we are bound by one special action, one great event and one great gift...
*FRIENDSHIP*

Thankyou so much for joining in my party, I absolutely enjoyed putting this together for my friends and love to bring the playful mystery back into adults lives with treasure hunts. All my lovely ladies had such a original and memorable day, something which we can treasure forever, until we revisit our capsuel in 10 years time.
Have A Mad Hatter Of A Time!!!
