A little pink goes a long way for a great cause 💕🌸
We got together last week for a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.

With a wonderful spread of homemade treats, plenty of pink and some very generous contributions, we're delighted to have raised nearly $900 so far!

Big thanks to everyone who baked, contributed and helped make the morning tea such a success. Every contribution helps support the fight against breast cancer.
