yay! first item on my ‘thirty before 30′ list is checked off! if you’d like to read more about why i’m doing this, i wrote about starting my list a few months back.
getting to know friends
i started my own supper club! why? because i like secret clubs. i like a bit of glamor. i like meeting new people. i like a fun excuse to get out of the house. i definitely like eating.
my mum and her friends would meet quarterly for their ‘ladies’ lunch’ and growing up i thought that it was all the height of grown up lady fun. and when alex shared her supper club adventures, i decided i wanted that thing too! my plan is a (almost) monthly meeting of myself and 3 fab friends, plus 3 of their fab friends! we doll up, we dine out and everyone has a bit of an adventure.
the downstairs dining room at the afghan gallery
for our first outing i chose the afghan gallery restaurant on brunswick street. i’d heard it had good interesting food, and upstairs was low floor dining amongst cushions and rugs. ooh! exotic!
upstairs was cozy and the perfect comfy place for a languorous afghan feast
our feast was a really cheap but delicious banquet menu, but it involved delicious sizzly meat, bread, rice, and curries etc.
it was really fun, i didn’t need the ice breaker cards – we all hit it off and chatted happily into the night. i can’t wait to organize the next outing for the 7 dolls supper club!
do you have a monthly dinner with friends? or a supper club of you own?































hurray!!! The Dames hit Australia!! I love it…..i’m so glad it was a smash success!!
do we get to see what you were wearing, you Supper Doll??
…that sounds like SO much fun. What a great idea Pilgrim! You’ve inspired me…enjoy your next one! xx
kimbalee007 – thanks! alas i can’t take credit for the concept, but the “7 Dolls” are all mine
This is such a great idea!
No, but I will now!! I too started a 30by30 list at the end of last year! I have about 7 marked off butbi may be re wording one from a once off dinner party to a dinner club!
I love this and I love that you have a list too xxx
stacey – why not have a dinner party EVERY Month!
Ah, what a cool idea! A supper club sounds so glamorous!
I love birthday goal lists too, I’m working on a ’26 before 27′ list this year
Lovely idea Pilgrim. I get together with three mum’s who all had babies born early and we were all sitting all day caring for our babies at the Special Care Nursery.
It forged an amazing bond so we have dinner once a month at a different venue each time.
Considering we have ten children aged five and under between us we have to make it a dinner – or we’d never actually get to talk (or eat probably!).
awesome! nothing better than dinner out with the ladies! you’re so fun!
