We enjoyed a yummy afternoon tea last weekend to celebrate Mothers Day. Years ago my grandmother left me a special teaset which she brought with her when she arrived from England...I took the colours of pink and green from this special collection and a 'theme' evolved...

Some of the food I made and some I bought (after all it was "mothers" day), even made a trip to Adrian Zumbo's in Manly for some pink and green (themed of course) macarons...they were delicious!

I gathered up some 'paint chips' (anyone that follows my blog will know that I often use these in card making and other crafts - love their versitility).

I was happy how the table came together, lots of nice yummy treats to taste and share...




Apart from the "Zumbo" macaroons, we sampled baby bannana cupcakes, coconut slice, almond slice, melting moments, Taylors 'famous' scones jam and cream (she is sooo good at making scones), tiny lemon meringue tartlets and these 'newbies' thatre now a firm favourite..deconstructed ginger and salted caramel spoons...a delicious combination of ginger crumbs with sticky caramel topping and a sprinkle of salt flakes...Hmmm delicious and oh so easy!

Mothers Day was wonderful...the day began with breakfast (the girls had been up early and walked to our local baker walking in with 'hot' croissants and pastries (just like being back in Europe)... I was very spoilt...check out the home made cards...

LOL...dont you love the one that says "I heart U that's why I am never moving out"..
Back soon with THRIFTY THURSDAY, wait 'til you see what I found!!
