1) Champagne and strawberries with a selection of finger sandwiches:
- Egg, whole-egg mayo and cucumber
- Smoked salmon, cream cheese and chives
- Ham
- Ham and two mustards (Dijon + Honey Wholegrain)
- Chicken, whole-egg mayo and avocado
- Chicken and Rosella Fruit Chutney
2) Range of teas (English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Russian Caravan, Ceylon Orange Pekoe, Traditional Afternoon) with warm pastries:
- Plain sausage rolls
- Ham and cheese sausage rolls
- Spinach & Ricotta
3) Coffees (French Liaison, Moccona Mild & Decaf) and sparkling water with sweets:
- Scones with Forest Fruit Jam and Whipped Cream
- Plain, berry, mango cheesecake
- Apple slice
- Chocolate caramel slice
- Fruit and custard tarts
It was DELICIOUS and we were all stuffed afterwards! Here are some pics!

Natural Selection at Perth Upmarket

I am a big fan of jewellery that simply shows the beauty of nature. Much of my collection is accordingly made of natural stones, shells, wood, gems and so forth. Recently I picked up a beautiful necklace from a lady designer at Perth Upmarket www.perthupmarket.com.au. If you haven't been yet, they have about four markets a year and sell some really unique, handmade jewellery, clothes, accessories and other craft work. I also really enjoyed the cake stall.. was just so feminine. Perth Upmarket is held in Perth Town Hall, usually on a Sunday from 10-4.
