a fancy afternoon tea {for a great cause}

What an afternoon.  Talk about stuff myself silly on sweets and treats of every description.
Bump into bloggers new and old.  Meet blogg-less people who are amazing, and that should blog, and be surrounded by a fantastic bunch of creative women all for a wonderful cause.

The talented Cathie from Melbourne Epicure was the hostess with the most-ess - with tables lined with baked cup-cakes, cake bombs (oh these were divine!) and my ultimate - lemon tart!

Their were cups of tea, in real tea-cups from real tea-pots....

And amazing donated crafty prizes that were raffled off and just a great time all round...

off course Cathie sent us all home with a little box of love!

Thankyou Cathie for a wonderful, wonderful afternoon!   I think I had to unbutton my jeans when i left!!


 Oh, and I'd thought i'd link up with this fancy girl, who has been getting fancy all week!

Friday loves

A few loves that I am having at the moment.....

1. Oranges -  the little ones and I have been pretty sick all week!  I know - a great way to start spring, but it still feels very much like winter in Melbourne and we have been bunkered down in the house with a terrible cold.  So we've been getting stuck into the oranges and I must say, I do love a good navel orange!

2. Entering giveaways - I do love good giveaway and was the lucky winner of one only last week - although I have won a few in my short time here is blog land.  There is a lovely giveaway over at Moose & Bird - this stunning pear pillow!  Be sure to check it out!

3 Worthy causes -  Kid Independent are supporting Backpacks for Aussie Kids by running an "undie drive" - All you have to do is visit the site and pledge to post them some new undies which will go to kids in foster care!  Foster carers are un-sung heros and do an amazing job but sometimes have little time to prepare for a child that may be coming into their care.  Not only that, but sometimes kids are placed into foster care with very few possession, basic items - like underwear.  I have worked with many children in foster care or whom have had to be placed into foster care in the middle of the night and sometimes there just isn't time to pack anything!! By registering to pledge you go into the draw to win some fabulous prizes - like this gorgeous handmade delight!  What a great fabulous cause hey!

Happy Friday
