Charity Xmas Wreath-making Workshop, over 50 ladies came along

It's that time of the year, lots of festive cheer!

The weather was mild so very different from lasy year! Lots of lovely ladies came to help me make xmas wreaths. Thank you very much to everyone especially the 2 ladies who came all the way from Andover! It was fun.
We raffled some floral arrangements and my neighbour cooked bacon baps for lunch and very yummy spicy cider punch, donated by West Milton cider house!

Everyone made 2 wreaths, one to take home and one for me to sell
All beautifully individual and lovingly made, didn't they do well
This year its for  Dorchester Hospital digital mammography scanner appeal and the wreaths are £10
Ring me if you'd like one 01308 424321 or come toThe Makers Market 3rd Dec, details on the last blog.

We raised over £200 on the day and I'll let you know the grand total soon
 A very Merry Christmas and a New New Year
Love Pauline


PS sold all the wreaths, some were sold at Eype Makers Market, another successful Christmas Market, well supported and good weather this time!  A raffle on the day raised £225, and with the £775 from the Xmas Wreath Day enabled us to send a huge £1000 to the BOOST mammogram appeal for Dorchester Hospital. 
My grateful thanks to all who came along and their continued support is really appreciated. Pauline
