Paws for Tea

We hosted a little 'Paws for Tea' party at Chez Buddy last Sunday in aid of The Blue Cross animal charity.
Eighteen assorted family & friends (including the fabulous lantean_drift, battyoldflapper & saffron_1) joined in the fun, & there was much chatting, laughing, tea drinking & cake scoffing.  And Bud snuggling, of course! *g*
We also had a 'Lucky Dip' which helped raise a few more pounds.  Thanks to the generosity of all present, we raised £125.60 for The Blue Cross! Woo-hoo! That's enough to vaccinate 25 kittens or microchip 6 litters of puppies or provide veterinary care for a dog for the length of its stay with the Blue Cross.
I'm so grateful to everyone who came along. :)

It also gave me the perfect excuse to 'get my bake on' *g* & here are some pics from the day (mainly of cakes & a certain handsome someone!)

( pics this way... )

I really enjoyed putting this on & would love to do it again.
I also have to make special mention of Mr bluespirit_star who valiantly spent the afternoon making cups of tea for a house full of ladies! :)
