Maghaberry WI win award at City of Belfast Flower Show
Recently 15 Women’s Institutes took part in the City of Belfast Autumn Flower Show in Belfast’s Botanic Gardens.
Each competitor presented five articles, displayed on a card table, the theme being ‘Afternoon Tea party’.
Maghaberry WI was one of the teams taking part.
Their display included beautiful vintage china, including a cake stand and jam saucer and a white vintage tablecloth with had worked lace inserts and edging.
There were fresh strawberries which were accompanied by a “swirl of cream” tea cosy.
Calligraphed labels and a toning gift bag matched the overall tea party theme.
The jam pot cover matched the pattern of the china and the pink and white flower arrangement complemented the display.
Pride of place was the bunting; appliqued teacups and teapots all toning in with the china tea set.
Unsurprisingly the bunting was awarded first prize.
Marks were awarded not only for each of the five items but also for the overall presentation.
