| The High Tea food, oh my, the FOOD! |
Wow, what an event! Julia did such a fantastic job of organising this, and it came together perfectly! It was so pretty, feminine, and light. Lots of women pitched in with baking, and the results were truly scrummy.

| The decor... |
We draped fabric, hung tissue pompoms, tied ribbons, and spread lace. All the gorgeous high tea plates and serve-ware really made the event.

| Suzy's talk |
Suzie Botross is the author 'She Will Run'. We found her to be a very down to earth, honest, & dynamic speaker. She shared with us her dream for women to be able to deal with their 'stuff' and live more full lives. Last night the topic was Managing Your Expectations of others. Such a great topic for women. We all tend to have ideas in our heads of how those in our lives ought to behave and treat us. If we can get a more balanced look at ourselves, we will be better able to navigate the disappointments, let downs and even at times, hurts that come our way. I think I speak for all of us that were present; we were challenged to give others the benefit of the doubt. And then to do that again and again...
Suzie's book is broken down into chapters of about 10 pages each (deliberately, so it's easy to read a chapter a night), and it covers relationship issues and a bunch of other topics. This book is easy to read, and a good one to even be able to pick it up and read a section that just applies to what you're going through.
A big thanks to Julia for organising this - it was really gorgeous! x
