I hosted a small tea party as a send-off for my mum who’s relocating to Cape Town.

My theme for the afternoon, “So Long Jo’burg, Hello Cape Town”, was framed by silhouettes of the Johannesburg skyline and Table Mountain and pulled together with shades of pink and brown in the design of the bunting, paper tents, labels and cupcake toppers.

Paper bunting strung together with bakers’ twine

 

Labels and cup-cake toppers

 

Favour bags filled with sweets

 

 

To create this topper, I altered a gift tag by stitching bakers’ twine around the edge.
