100 party for CWA Manly Branch

Myself and two other friends took ourselves off to Manly to see an amazing exhibition of aprons, tea cosies and edible cakes all of which were for sale to raise money for the CWA.

There were 100 cakes - each representing a significant event that occurred in every year since 1923 to up 2022.    Some very talented cake makers and ideas to represent those events.   The photos are in chronological order starting with 1923 when the Manly Branch was established.  











Next we have 100 aprons and 100 tea cosies.  A selection of them is below.





I felt very chuffed as the blue tea cosy that I donated was sold very quickly.   A photo of it is below.  


The way the items - especially the cakes and tea cosies - were selling the Branch would have certainly raised a lot of money for such a worthwhile cause.  

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

A great show - love the idea of all the cakes - some very clever ideas there. Good that your tea cosy sold and hopefully they did make a lot of money.
