A fun way to waste time ...

I've finally finished the newsletter for the shop, and have made good progress on the two gowns I'm making.  I thought I'd do some work on finding vintage style tea cups, plates and so on for our new Coffee and Cake sessions (at the shop).

What fun I have had trawling through e-bay looking at all the lovely pre-owned crockery.  I think it will all look so lovely when we have our sessions, and am inspired to embroider some napkins and table cloths to finish the look.

The Coffee and Cake sessions will raise money for charity, since we are asking everyone who comes to make a gold coin donation.  We will do some lovely food, and nice fresh tea and coffee. Practically all our tutors have offered to do a demonstration for the sessions, which will add to the fun.

If you'd like to join us, we'd love to welcome you.  Just RSVP to the shop so we know you are coming (e-mail is easiest sales@michellessewingbasket.com.au).
