Coffee Morning Saudi Style

Coffee Morning - May 2009 International Day
Well Tanga & Co., have certainly done it again this month. There is always an elaborate display set up for the tables and hall. This month the theme was... can you guess... International Day where we all had to come in our national dress. Most of us made a huge effort... well you can't blame the Auzzies really can you... all they have is the union flag as well but don't want to flaunt it and wear it as small as they can... mainly on their heads... and shout 'you bloody poms' all morning at us Brits ! Still we rose above it all and came out with our stiff upper lips.. well as stiff as could possibly be with all that food going up for grabs. The international dress for Spain, Japan and all nationalities was astounding and some were just plain beautiful... however, I kept forgetting to get the camera out and snap all those lovelies due to eating, drinking and perusing the stalls ... and keeping eyes down for the raffle. I promise to do better next month !
Here are a few of the items that were on show today:I didn't win the raffle this month but did snap up a little bargain with this snake necklace which will be a great asset for my fancy dress as Cleopatra in a couple of months time. Just got to get the rest of the garb. I feel a trip to the Taba Centre coming up!A consolation of not winning the raffle would have been my arabic coffee cup with speciallity chocolates inside, but someone swiped it ... no one owned up... shame on them or haram, as I believe they say in Saudi !
