photostory friday: scrapmates' high tea

so i missed a wordful wednesday AND a photostory friday - i guess i've been busy!

i've been meaning to share these photos with you since the actual event (which was back in the first week of january), but the photos have been doing the rounds, so better late than never eh?

this was our scrapmates high tea.

i've mentioned my scrapmates group before - it's an email scrapbooking group.  most of us are based here in wellington - some are a little further afield.  we answer daily questions, have online challenges, scrap together, eat together - and on this day - we donned our pearls, washed our best china, and took tea together!!!

i can't remember who made these, but they were cream-filled yumminess

i made these dainty little cucumber sandwiches

if you were clever, you could get three in your mouth at once.....

kelly's macaroons - delish and just the right amount of chewy-ness!

nat's scones.  i think they were nat's!

my cup and saucer

my mother won this as a spot prize at a dance in 1955

a SPOT PRIZE.  at a DANCE!

'you want to pull your knees up like so'.....

kelly thought it was hilarious

we didn't always get the perfect shot

so we tried...

tried...

and tried again

too much fun
