Koch invited me to review the highlights of Jeff Leatham’s recent demonstration in Sydney which I attended after winning a competition on the Koch & Co Facebook page.

HOORAY! Magazine recently invited us to a high tea on the lawns of Lindesay House in Sydney. With the film of the day just released, we thought we’d use it as a springboard to consider what it takes to throw a high tea, and style the perfect afternoon tea party decor. Good company, a fun element (in this case a flashback to childhood with an Easter egg hunt) and a delicious high tea are great ingredients to start with! Add in a gorgeous table centerpiece design, beautiful floral displays, and plenty of individual style, and you might just have the perfect high tea event.
