Sunshine Coast foodie Martin Duncan is on the hunt for old teapots, cups, saucers and side plates to be used at the popular Sconetime events.
Sconetime is a community connector where seniors and business people come together in the Coast’s heritage halls to share fresh hot scones loaded with home-made jam and cream.
“Our treasures who attend Sconetime get so much joy out of drinking tea out of a cup that brings back special memories of their rich colourful lives,” Mr Duncan said.
“Many got bone china for their 21st and wedding presents or used them at dance suppers.”
Sconetime is scheduled to begin again in March after a COVID hiatus, with events to be held in Caloundra and Bankfoot House, as well as Nambour and Cooroy.
“Sconetime [is] a wonderful opportunity for older people, along with their carers, companions and family to establish a regular monthly social event where people from the community and business come together over scones,” Mr Duncan said.
He is also looking for event volunteers.
“You’ll hear some cracking good stories plus my scones are worthy and Sconetime makes you feel good.”
And for those who think they make the best scones, the Country Noosa, Mary Valley and Glasshouse Country Scone-off is happening on June 20 to raise money for Sunshine Coast Riding for the Disabled.
