I’m typing this Coffee With Kirsten Fundraiser Update at my desk, which is covered with gift vouchers, goodie bags and beauty products. All very generously donated by the most incredible local businesses and readers of this blog.
Amazing, right?
I’ve been busy planning all sorts of exciting things for the afternoon and today I thought I’d share a few of them with you.
The Menu
When the doors to Cafe Grenadine swing open at 2pm, those attending will be treated to a glass of bubbles and a smoked salmon & horseradish cream brioche slider.
Once seated and the event is underway, afternoon tea will be served. Each guest will enjoy
- a petit chocolate pot with double cream and praline
- a mini eclair
- a citrus meringue tart and
- a persian love cake
along with a tea or coffee of their choice.
The Prizes
While everyone is enjoying their delicious afternoon tea, I’ll be chatting and selling raffle tickets. They’ll be $5 each and every dollar will go directly to The Pyjama Foundation.

The Goodie Bags
But it doesn’t stop there!
Everyone will be going home with a goodie bag that will be jam packed with all sorts of wonderful items.
The gorgeous mother and daughter duo that is Soy Vella Candles have kindly offered to supply their hand poured soy melts for every guest.
The fabulous team at MooGoo and Dusty Girls have sent a selection of their incredible products for everyone to take home.
Stephanie’s Luxury Day Spas, SFH Designs and Renee Loves Frances have a little something going in each bag as well.
There will be a little gift from me in each goodie bag too. Huge thanks to Elise from Sweet Scarlet Designs for helping with the artwork on that little project!
Thank you to all of the wonderful businesses who have shown such incredible support to this event. It’s overwhelming and exciting and amazing all rolled into one x
The Tickets
There are only two tickets left to sell and then I can quietly do a happy dance while not so quietly shouting, “WE’RE SOLD OUT!”
I REALLY want to sell this event out. Not for myself, but for The Pyjama Foundation. All of the money from tickets sales (excluding the afternoon tea cost) and raffle ticket sales are going directly to The Pyjama Foundation. It’s a 100% non profit event and it’s happening on Saturday 5th November at Cafe Grenadine Camp Hill, 2 – 4.30pm. Further details can be found here
If you’d like to grab the last two tickets or you know someone else who might like them, you can purchase them right here:
Edited 21 October 2016: Well I’m totally doing the happy dance because Coffee with Kirsten is officially SOLD OUT! HOORAY!! Thank you to everyone who has shown the event so much love and support. I can’t wait to see you all on November 5th x
