1st Jordanstown Brownies meet in the same halls complex as us on Wednesday evenings in St Patrick's. Well, a few weeks ago we were asked by Brown Owl to be testers for the Brownies' Hostess Badge. Now you can imagine just how excited and delighted we all were about that - lovely savouries and sweet treats with lashings of tea. How could we possibly refuse? We decided to don our frocks and pearls for the occasion and make a special effort to match that made by the girls when preparing for their presentations.
In honour of the occasion, perhaps in an attempt to summon real ones, Mags prepared some crochet cupcakes especially for the evening as a thank you to the Brownies she was testing.
And didn't they do well? Congratulations girls. We're looking forward to the same treat next year ......
Well done, Niqi and Heather- you have so captured the esprit du soir! Wht do I look like I'm about to do some limbo dancing? So much for sophisticated posture....
ReplyDeleteOh my!! How in the world did you ladies eat all of that? It sounds like SO much fun :) Mags, your cupcakes are adorable. Julia is sitting here. She saw the picture and said, "Oh my word! Are those crocheted cupcakes???" She was impressed :) Those Brownies are so fortunate to have considerate ladies like you. And I loved "with lashing of tea." :)
ReplyDeleteM.K. we enjoyed every bite :-)
DeleteWow! What a fabulous evening. Such elegant guest-judges for the tea party, and wondrous food. And the calorie-free-crochet-cupcakes are truly something else. Mags, I award you the Brownie Hookers Badge [if such a thing exists, which it probably doesn't]
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, thanks for posting them
blessings xx
If a Brownies Hookers badge doesn't exist, what a delicious thought it was anyway!!
DeleteSplendid idea - and what a job the Brownies did! I want to take a long time and study each tray in preparation for my next tea party.
