"A very merry unbirthday... to you." An evening of tea, madness,
and magic - Benefiting the Willow Foundation of New Mexico.
You're invited!
You are cordially invited to an evening that exists somewhere between a proper English tea and beautiful madness.
Beneath the Cheshire Moon, the Willow Foundation invites you to an evening where artisan tea meets silent auctions,
where finger sandwiches meet the finest scones, and where the curious are rewarded for following the rabbit hole.
This is the official debut of The Owl and The Raven Celestial Tea Company's Wonderland Collection — eight
extraordinary blends, each inspired by a character you thought you knew. You don't. Not yet. Come and meet them
properly.

What to expect
English Tea Service
An English tea service embodies refinement: a stout ceramic teapot with a curved spout, matching sugar bowl and creamer, delicate teacups perched on saucers, and a tiered stand for scones, clotted cream, and jam. Each piece invites a pause in the afternoon, a ritual of warmth, conversation, and quiet elegance.
Wonderland Collection Debut
Step into the topsy-turvy—our Wonderland Tea Collection makes its mad, marvelous debut at the party! Teapots tip politely, cups grin like Cheshire cats, and saucers shuffle mid-spin. It’s a whirl of whimsy without a single description. Just sip, giggle, and fall down the rabbit hole of delightful nonsense.
Silent Auction
Support the Willow Foundation of New Mexico at our silent auction—a heartfelt evening of giving back. Bid on unique experiences, handcrafted treasures, and generous local donations, all while making a quiet but powerful impact. Every bid helps fund vital community programs. Your generosity blossoms here, transforming hope into lasting change.
Beneath the Cheshire Moon
Welcome, dear guests, to Beneath the Cheshire Moon—An Unbirthday Affair. The grins fade slowly here. Candles drip like melted hours. Teacups hold more than brew—they hold secrets that whisper when no one sips. The clock has stopped, but don’t worry. You won’t leave when it’s over. You’ll leave when we let you.
