Christmas craft and cellophane

As it is the beginning of the festive season, I embarked on the Christmas Fair round today.   There were at least 3 going on in out village today, but I was loyal to the church I usually attend and the little textile group that meets there on a Wednesday evening.

It was the first Christmas Craft Fair at Abbots Langley Baptist Church, at least the first for a very long time.  Lots of people were involved, and the usual band of ladies made bacon butties (for which we are famous!), served homemade cakes and made teas and coffees.  Very traditional and very welcome on such a dark, wet November afternoon.

So, many of the items you've seen on this blog recently, were unfolded, draped and displayed on our table.  Many were wrapped in cellophane which always a little something to the presentation........even the "catnip mice" crocheted by Joanne looked classier in their cellophane gift wrapping!

Those mice were good sellers too.....I had a feeling that Christmas presents for their cats would be a  priority to lots of people.

The Christmas wreaths that you can see in the picture were popular, and I sold the only scarf that was already reserved, so I'll have to make another one!
