Taking Part in A Charity Christmas Fair

In aid of Tunbridge Wells SANDS ( still birth and neonatal death charity ) I am holding a stall at The Spa Hotel to support their Christmas Fair.
On Thursday November 13th at 7.30 to 9.30 pm.
It is the charities second year, but my first time with them and glad to say they liked my "bits and pieces" and were delighted for me to support them.
Any charity to do with babies and children in anyway, is VERY important to me as I feel SO lucky to have my happy, healthy, VERY cheeky, monkeys. 
I usually support Yummy Mummy week but have been too busy this year and feel bad but have still done a bit of fund raising, thankfully.
My very old friend has a daughter, Callie, needed neonatal care when she was born due to having Cornelia De Lang syndrome. She now raises funds to support charities similar to SANDS in her local area. 
We held a naming ceremony for Heidi in the summer and requested no gifts, just donations to Callie's Wish, in aid of charities for children with life threatening and life limiting illnesses.
  We raised over £400 which Callies wish 
donated to Julia House Hospice.
SO, for those who are miles away, please keep everything crossed for SANDS Christmas Fair and hope they raise LOTS AND LOTS!
For those who are near... I hope to see you! 
Take Care and Night Night... I have things to paint and create! ( 3 fairs and counting... eeek! )

Have a good weekend,

As part of my range, I buy old wooden items, such as these ladders. I have painted these with herb names for the garden.
