A beautiful afternoon of sweet treats, tinkling teacups and smooth jazz delighted our 180 person guest list! What a divine way to spend a winter's afternoon in Canberra.
The high tea was held for customers and friends of MissChief Maker as a way of saying 'thanks' for all the support. It launched the Mr Mudge children's interior range into MissChief Maker. An array of other gorgeous Canberra designers showcased their wares too, including:
Prim and Pretty - stunning women's brooches, not ordinary brooches, scarves, necklaces and more
Karmen Sega - men's, women's and children's leather slippers, handbags
Tango&James - very sassy & retro interiors and jewellery
Tania McCartney graced us with her vivacious presence and the children just loved the book readings under the heater throughout the afternoon. She read her delightful book Riley and the Sleeping Dragon and signed and sold several copies.
