just over a week later and I'm back again...what's going on?!
Well, following on from my teacosy sucess last week I went one further, this week I made two teacosies and found a good cause to raffle them for...
...last Sunday morning I hosted a "Tea and Talk" event in support of the Mental Health Foundation...that's my kind of fundraising, none of that sweaty running about or (God forbid) dangling upside down from a length of elastic above some whitewater rapids...no, no, no give me elevenses (much underrated in my opinion) in my kitchen with a bunch of friends and a tableful of tea and cake anyday...
The full spread...mmm...and just LOOK at this maple, chocolate and walnut swirl my friend Bert (Bert the Baker, nice ring to that actually) made for the occasion...particularly delicious heated up was that one...swoon...
with only 3 days notice lots of people turned up, ate cake, drank tea, bought raffle tickets from the ever eager Ms Reva and contributed £117.07 to this great cause...
here's the teacosy winning team, Amarapuspa and Jill with their prizesI've also set up a Justgiving page and I'll try to put a widget on the sidebar in case anyone who wasn't there fancies throwing a few bob into the pot, as much or as little as you like...I might even run an online teapot and cosy raffle for those who support the cause that way...oooh, yes, now that might be a good idea...what do you think? Fancy a teapot and cosy to call your own?...

what a great way to raise money - who doesn't like cake and a cuppa eh?
Well done! That sounds like my sort of fund raising too!
brilliant, looked like lots of fun - great to see you back too!
OoOh your tea and talk looks so lovely, what a marvellous idea, the spread made my belly rumble, REALLY loud! The tea cosies are so very sweet, welldone to you for raising money for such a great cause.
Btw, I share the sentiment about dangling from elastic, the very thought makes me shudder!
