Wow!! Thank you so much Bea Kay for these amazing pictures from 30th anniversary party a few weeks ago. Such a fantastic evening at the Garrison Chapel , which is one of their beautiful architectural projects.

And thank you Fiona for such kind words!
We loved working with you in such an stunning venue.

“Hi Monica and Lynda,
Many, many thanks for helping us achieve a wonderful evening. Monica - the food was exquisite (several people have told me your canapes are the best they have eaten). Your flavours were amazing and the canapes themselves very interesting. We will certainly be talking about them for a long time! Lynda - your management of the evening was superb. Everyone was friendly, professional and altogether certainly helped make the evening the success it was. Please pass on our thanks to all your team.”

So thrilled with my new handmade ceramic pieces! Love making pieces that I can then use for my events! They are definitely fragile (had a few losses already) but they are sooo different from any other canapé platters! Trays with vases so I can safely put flowers in them, trays with holes so my croquetas don’t slide off the trays and a new tray in the making with scalloped edges ( still need to decide on the glaze! ) . Always looking forward to my classes on Wednesday mornings to totally disconnect !
