Tawnytaskin Easter Tea Party

P4062295Geraldine & Mary enjoying Afternoon Tea in the Tawnytaskin Centre

I hope you were lucky enough to visit the Tawnytaskin Centre over the weekend! The committee had arranged a very special Tea Party with all of the style of an Ashford Castle happening. Tea was served in china cups, the 3-tier stands were filled with goodies - various items of confectionery and of course like any self-respecting tea party, cucumber sandwiches.
Yes, there were a few stalls there as well: Reiner and Doris, Stephanie Quinn and photographer's work on display from Martina Morris. I really loved the way the committee had set up a dining area and a Cake Sale area.
Congrats and well done to Ann, Mary and everyone involved in this lovely afternoon Easter Sunday and Monday.
