{cake on a stick, and other good things}

Cake Pops

I was speaking to one of my colleagues towards the end of the night and he said "nothing at all wrong with cake on a stick" and boy is he right.  They were the culinary highlight of the evening.  Thanks Cathie.

Cam bought me the Kearnsey last year.  I thought it was perfect for opening night.

It was a completely fabulous night.  It had all the ingredients of a very successful opening ~ lots of people {family, friends, arty & crafty peeps, work peeps}, really good food, excellent red wine {kindly donated by my brother-in-law}, plenty of bubbly to go round, some extra interest with pop-up craft stalls from CurlyPops and Betty Jo and of course the art. Oh, and quite a few red dots {almost half the show is sold now, which is very, very exciting}.

I couldn't really tell you much at all about the evening as a whole.  There were so many people there and I felt like I spent the whole evening having half conversations with lots of them.  I managed to enjoy a few glasses of bubbly, nibbled on some finger food and definitely enjoyed one of the divine cake pops.  

I went home elated and exhausted and have been pretty much wiped out ever since.  

Now it's time to rest.

I'll see you soonish.
