Richmond Primary School Fete

Our full page colour spread in the local rag!

With a week to go this seems like a good opportunity to wrap up discussions about my kids school fete. As you know I have been sewing and creating things for this event for MONTHS! This week I turned my attention to receiving the creations made by other parents and yesterday I had a group of school mums come over for a busy bee to price and package- we only made it about half way through the stuff. Gulp! Here I was worried that I wouldn't have a nice display of things to sell on fete day

In case you cant read the newspaper ad and you would like to come to the Fete the details are as follows:
Where Richmond Primary School, Windsor Rd, East Fremantle
When Sat 14th November
Time 10am to 4pm

Stuff for kids- pony rides, balloon creations, lucky dip, play dough sales, face painters, body art, bouncy castle, sumo suits, farm animals, jewellery making, giant chess, arty brella's gladiators,.

Stuff to buy- divine cakes and slices, scruptions strawberries, gourmet food and preserves, all things lemon, lolly shop, pucker powder, water-wise plants, fresh flowers, quality craft ;), kids clothes op shop, beads bangles and baubles, books and DVD's, Art by Richmond kids, and Mondo cookbook- created by Richmond families.

Stuff to eat- Richmond Cafe- selling rolls, salads and cafe cakes with barista on site ALL day

I'd love Perth based readers to come on by :)

Here are some teasers of the gorgeous home made products I will be bundling up this week. Please note.. I have not made all these things myself!

Beaded jewellery and bookmarks

Completly random but gorgeous felt "teabags"
Table runners

Girly hair bands, ties and clips
And for the boys we put together a "marble" bag filled with random stuff boys like; plastic insects, string, marbles, matchbox cars etc etc.
Whimsy christmas dec's
Assorted teatowels
Kids apron/cookie cutter gift sets.
Dolly outfit
Glam aprons
Dress-ups; pirate bandana and patch
butterfly wings
velvet capes
Hmmm lets see, to the far left is a bundle of juggling balls, in the middle basket is the fanciest pencil rolls you have ever seen, they are being obscured by some gorgeous cupcake pin cushions. The right hand basket contains some glammed up dishwashing gloves.
little girls skirts
book bags
One of many womens handbags
One of the assorted babies quilts/blankets

Sorry about all the pics. It was really hard to leave stuff out. As it is I havent even touched on the clothing or the cards and gift tags!
