It was my school's turn this weekend, (along with thousands of others I'm sure) and we had a great day: Pimms, burgers and about a hundred different types of cakes with tea and coffee were on offer, and stalls were selling plants, toys, books etc, as well as numerous tombola stalls.
Nearly all the stuff had been donated by the parents, who then came out in their hundreds to let the children buy or win it back!
I had a stall and had a few quilts and bags on display, and had my baby Brother embroidery machine set up with a basket of brightly coloured flannels (wash cloths) by my side
I embroidered over a dozen flannels there, and came home with orders for another 9, plus bunting,
and I even sold a quilt - the pink zigzag one!
I've now spent the evening at the bigger Brother finishing the orders, and reckon its now about time for a celebratory glass of wine!
Wow! You guys really go all out. Great idea setting up your machine on site.
ReplyDeleteI think you deserve a second glass of wine :-)
ReplyDeleteI had to google Tombola stalls and then had to step back - you have TWO embroidery machines!
ReplyDeleteGlass of wine is seconded.
oh yeah - congrats on selling a quilt!
ReplyDeleteonly one glass? Sounds like a great day you can`t beat a good school/church fete and good to have sold a quilt
ReplyDeletePimms? Now that sounds like my kind of school fair :) what a great idea to embroider on site too!
ReplyDeleteyou certainly deserve more than ONE glass xx well done to all x
ReplyDeleteI sort of miss the chaos of school fetes. But only sort of. ;-) Well done on surviving.
ReplyDeleteoh well done! and that was after partly organising the whole thing and answering so many questions you wondered which way was 'up'...or 'out'? No?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time was had. Well done on the quilt sale! I guess that the only question now is whether or not it managed to fund your trip to Sandown....???!!!
