Truly Tickled Pink

One day at Lyssy May they came, they ate cupcakes, they laughed, they made new friends, they wore pink and they helped raise $1419.75 for the Kim Walters Choices Program!

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to Lyssy May's Think Pink Party. It was such a special day and as I surveyed the crowd in my small store (who weren't at all phased by standing shoulder to shoulder) I felt very humbled by the support that was given to the event. Another thank you to all the wonderful designers and businesses who devoted their time and products to make the day such a success.

As you can see its taken me a while to get back into blogland but I am now returning to normal programming after a big fortnight so I will be back here on a more regular basis.

Here are some pics of the day...

Shannon was a raffle-ticket-selling-machine! Here she is (above) with two of her cupcake fairy helpers - Ursula & Finlay....and with all 3 inspirations for her My Girl brand below with Ocearna standing next to her Mum and wearing a beautiful Candice Herne fascinator. Thanks Shannon for all your help on the day and leading up to it.

Talented and inspirational people abounded in the crowd - including Aprille, Julia and Rebecca!

Angie was an Angel helping me out and Sonia was a Stunner as our auctioneer!

And finally - here's me. So happy that everyone is enjoying themselves. Thanks again for coming along and helping us raise money for the Kim Walters Choices Program which does amazing work supporting women who have undergone a diagnosis of breast or gynaecological cancer.

Wendy Susan Hat

One day at Lyssy May some beautiful designer pieces started to arrive in honour of the upcoming Think Pink Party. The first such piece is by hat designer Candice Herne and will be auctioned on the day. The work and style woven into this stunning piece has to be seen in person to be appreciated! Candice has also created a beautiful box for the hat and has signed inside the lid where there is a record of her inspiration for the design (her 2 friends, Wendy and Susan who have both survived cancer) as well the occasion for which it was created... just too special for words.

Think Pink Party

Lyssy May will be hosting a Think Pink Party on Sunday July 20th from 2 pm to 4 pm to raise money for the Kim Walters Choices Program which is a free community service that offers support and information for women, men and their families affected by a diagnosis of breast or gynaecological cancer. I have only just announced the event and have already been overwhelmed by the support that other businesses are showing through the donation of some fantastic prizes. Stay tuned for more information - I would love for you to come along to help raise money for this important cause.
