It’s been a long and tiring day so please forgive the shortness of this post.
Today was Stockport Vintage Village Fair and after all the hard work over the last few weeks (mostly by Sheila) we finally had our stall up and running.
We have received donated items from a host of sources over the last few weeks and are so grateful for the kindness and generosity of friends, family and strangers alike. Sheila had the tough job of sorting through and pricing everything, with Alan’s expert guidance. On arrival this morning, a more experienced stall holder also gave her expert opinion on a few items and as a result we kept some back and will be taking them to a jeweller later this week. There are also a few items that didn’t sell today but which may achieve a greater price at auction.
We had a steady stream of visitors throughout the day and the takings purse was looking rather full by the end of the afternoon. I have left the counting in Sheila’s capable hands and will update you on the total raised once I have it.
I’d like to say a special thank you to my lovely friend, Sheila, for all her hard work and to Alan for providing the stall space. Thank you also to family and friends who called by this afternoon and helped to keep our spirits up.
The next Vintage Village event is the Merry Little Christmas Fair on Sunday 8th December …we’ll be there with the rest of our items and anything else donated before then.
