Maitland Christmas Tea - The Raffle
It's raffle time at the Maitland Christmas Tea.
Somehow I missed out on buying tickets for that. I have no idea what was being raffled off...but hey, it's all for a good cause!

Maitland Christmas Tea - The Tree
A shot of the hall which hosted the Maitland Christmas Tea last Sunday.
The Christmas tree was balsam'y and fragrant, as it should be. A pair of stuffed angels are hanging out on the wall, waiting to be claimed by a lucky raffle ticket owner...

Maitland Christmas Tea - The Sweets
Oh, the sweets. Sweets so sweet, they make your teeth hurt....in a good way. Sweets that make you diabetic in one bite.
The butter cookie was 'melt in your mouth' perfection. A tart square that had rhubarb in it was a pleasant surprise. A slice pumpkin cheesecake was sinfully tasty.
Paired with delicious, strong tea. I can think of no better way to spend a warm November afternoon.

Maitland Christmas Tea
Apologies for the gruesome state of my plate. My camera's lens fogged up after an evening of sitting in my cold car. By the time the lens cleared off, I had finished half of my cold plate!
Chicken salad from scratch, scrumptious potato salad, cheese and cucumber slices.... This plate did not leave me wanting. Add to that, the festive tablecloth and boisterous sounds inside the Maitland Community Hall...this was quite the event!
More pics to follow...
