A friend of mine had a lovely idea. We celebrated back to school with a delicious brunch
at her house. We didn't bring food, just school supplies. She will take what we brought
to a warehouse for teachers in who work in underprivileged areas. She volunteers there.
Teachers can come every few months and choose 12 items off the shelves.
She had such cute decorations (check out the paper table cloth!) I didn't take pictures of the
food but it was scrumptious. We all had a good time together--some women I hadn't
seen in years and it was great to catch up. A good time for a good cause.
And yes, these are napkins!
Fun idea and any teacher/school would be happy to use those supplies. Shoot, I STILL love new school supplies and I neither teach nor have school children any more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea!!!!! Kudos to all of you!!

what a cute idea for a centerpiece, love the way the table looks, love the large table, would love to have that much space...Phyllis
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I love the smell of new crayons and pencils!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I love the centrepiece, table cloth and napkins.
ReplyDeleteYour friend is imaginative and it is always good to combine fun with a worthy cause. Love those napkins, but most especially the centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I know teachers will appreciate this extra help; when my hubby was teaching high school he was always buying things for the classroom as budgets were tight in the school district, and still are.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. I don't think there's such a place in Canada (where teachers can go for school supplies.) The table decorations are wonderful - especially those napkins. Were you all tempted to practice cursive writing?
ReplyDeleteWhat a WONDERFUL and thoughtful idea.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do it annually, that's awesome.
So what was on the menu?
Those napkins are NEAT!!
I am such a fan of theme parties...and this one looks like great fun! The decorations are so charming (as are the glimpses of the home in the background ~smile~).
ReplyDeletePodso,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this Brunch with a Purpose!!!
We "pack back packs" at our Church in early August and distribute them to area schools. I love the idea where the Teacher can come and choose 12 items for her classroom needs!!!
The paper table cover is exquisite!!!
Loved the napkins...too darn cute!!!
Thanks for sharing this worthy cause!
Fondly,
Pat
Great idea..and the table runner is wonderful! How did she do that...napkins are great!
ReplyDeleteYour group of friends do such imaginative community work, this is a great idea. A nice way to combine renewing old friendships with a worthy cause.
