St Luke's church had a wonderful display of Teapots during the Carnival of Flowers - a huge collection of everything to do with the great English tradition of Afternoon Tea.
This very old tea caddy depicts scenes from Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist"
This miniature Teaset was made in Korea over 100 years ago!
There was a tea towel with a recipe for Aussie Damper on it!
All these were exhibits were on display in the Church Hall. However, when we went into the Church, there was a marvellous treat waiting for us - a huge hand workedFilet Crochet wallhanging, depicting The Lord's Prayer! It was at least 6 feet high.
Handmade by one of the parishioners many years ago, it is framed and mounted on the wall inside the entrance. Having done filet crochet - once - I could appreciate the incredible labour of love this piece of crochet was!
