On the 9th of July we held our second Under a Tree Clothing Exchange.
The afternoon was a great success.
Beautiful china rose tea was sipped, lovely conversation was had, ladies swapped beautiful clothing and in the process we raised enough money that is the equivialnt of freeing another 4 little Cambodian girls from prositution.
What a way to spend an afternoon!
A big thank you to Mary-Rose florist for the beautiful flowers that filled our teapots.
A big thank you to Eliza-Jane for serenading us with your so very sweet voice.
The tea was that good! Thanks to Queenies Traditional Tea House for the amazing China Rose tea that smelt like turkish delight.
The rack were full of beautiful clothing. You could literally refresh your wardrobe, from shoes to hats, cute tops to a pretty summer dress. There was something for everybody!
We've had such a lovely response from people who can't wait to come along and be apart of this afternoon full of tea drinking, clothes swapping and life changing.
I was introduced to this sculpture while visitng my Grandparents at Noosa.
My Mum, Grandma and my gorgeous little cousins and I went for a drive to Cooroy to visit the bakery for afternoon tea and a look at the little boutique next door.
On our way back home my Mum and Grandma wanted to show me this sculpture because they knew I would love it. They were right (as usual) I do, I love it!
James M Barrie (Peter Pan) let his imagination fly. He created worlds of adventure and inspired creative exploration.
This afternoon I made myself a pot of creme brulee tea and curled up to encounter "Finding Neverland", the movie. Every bit of me was delighted in the celebration of play.
The pure innocence of imagination taking flight and making something magical out of thin air, is inspirational.
The power of laughing and playing continues to move me.
I remember playing with my little sister.
We would make apartments out of the steps on the staircase. Our books were walls of the cities we created for our little ponies. When I was in year 4 at primary school, I created a Fairy Club.
Together, with other little friends, we met on a Saturday morning in our garden, covered with glitter. We pretended to find fairies while filling our tummies with fairy bread. Maybe this is when I fell in love with the idea of tea under a tree? Perhaps it was while pretending to find tiny beautiful ladies who could fly.
James M Barrie was quoted saying "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December".
I love remembering those times with my sister when we would create pages of imagination.
What's on the pages of your imagination? How did you play as a child?
I would love to read your story in the comments below.
