THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND...
Hi there lovely Deskers, hope life is treating you well. It's been one of those weeks for us, G was properly poorly but has improved since the weekend and then our chimney had a big leak around the flashing. A wonderful local company came out and repaired it within 48 hours, so grateful as we've had storms for two days running now. Ah well, still smiling...!
But things had to carry on, it was the RNLI Christmas at the Boathouse event last Sunday:
I was helped out again by my amazing mates Kim (the Elf!) and Sue plus all the wonderful making by the ladies in the shop. The stall looked pretty and we made £300 in two hours!
And we had a lot of fun!
I did a quick stock check the following day and we have sufficient things for next Saturday's fair, the last of the season. We're low on some choc orange covers so I've made a couple more Santas:
I might make a couple of reindeer as well, if they don't sell, the covers can be put by for next year!
As well as mates helping me with the stalls, another lovely friend, Eva from Austria, sent me a surprise parcel, inside of which was:
A beautiful folk art horse that Eva made herself plus:
The most beautiful little book, again made by Eva. Inside each little page had something special about my blog:
Isn't it wonderful? It's only 4cms tall so I can only admire the patience that it took to make it. I love them Eva, thank you so much for the lovely surprise, I will treasure them xx
And that's just another reminder of the friendship found in this community, online and in my hometown. How blessed am I?
Still thinking of Neet as well, I do hope she's beginning to feel a bit better and will get home for Christmas xx
Have a great week, love to you all xxxx

Well done on the latest stall- great takings! You all looked very festive, too. The gift from Eva - both of them - are stunning, Hope the damage from the chimney leak wasn't too bad, glad it was fixed quickly. Happy WOYWW Helen #1
That’s a brilliant amount from your event and it looked fun too.
Eva’s gifts are amazing. It was good you could find someone to fix it quickly and a gap in the weather to do so. I hope the chimney leak damage wasn’t too bad.
Happy WOYWW

I'm sitting here in front of my PC. With a smile and tears.
I'm so grateful that you love my gifts and it's a lot of honour to see them on your blog.
Hope, G is on a good way for recovering.

Stay well both! Send you a big hug.

So glad the chimney was fixed quickly! Another great boost to the funds.love Eva’s horse. It reminded me I have at least two of those waiting to be finished. Tucked away for at least 12 years! Such a darling little book too. Hugs Angela #11

Looks like you've had an interesting few days. It's great to see all the support you're getting with the craft fairs. The gifts from Eva are beautiful, how kind she is. Wishing you a happy woyww. Hugs Angela x8x
Such lovely photos of you and your crafting posse! Well done all - so many lovely items and such a fab amount raised . Your little book from Eva is so gorgeous as is the little horse. Such talent and patience. x x Jo 🌈
Oh we need to talk. Im so sorry that Gordon has been so poorly...i was totally sure that the four of us deserved a quiet and gentle December. It hasnt happened here either.
Meanwhile, Eva's gifts are just beautiful, how thoughtful and such great timing , a boost for you to be reminded that friends are found everywhere, you in particular are skilled at being a friend so its lovely to see.
Oh my, you truly are loved! The look of joy on your face at the stall, obviously doing something you are passionate about! The gifts Eva sent you are truly wonderful, and so thoughtful. I know you will have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄🙂❤️Lindart#14
An amazing couple hrs on the stall, you do fantastic fundraising for them. Glad Gordon is on the mend and the chimney was fixed quickly too. Wow, that book is a brilliant gift to receive, so detailed too.
