A Big Thank you from the Village Hall committee

Thank you to exhibitors and stallholders who rose early and came through heavy rain to put their crafts on display at the Craft Fair and Exhibition last Saturday.  The Village Hall was soon transformed into a place of warmth and colour and as soon as everything was set up there were bacon buns promptly available from Ann Tilney's band of kitchen helpers. Here are some of the photos of the stalls which included some new craft producers from Natland. They were Elsa Fuster with clothes and jewellery made from felt, Jackie Holmes who makes cakes and jams at home and Lisa Harrison who makes fused glass pictures, bowls, jewellery and silverware.

Meanwhile, in the small hall seventy local craftspeople had brought their best handiwork, - expertly knitted jumpers, carved tables in yew and mahogany, embroidered pictures and cushions, collages and pots were just some of the items on display.

The most favourite item voted for by visitors was the embroidered Nativity Set by Jean Dobson.

So, thank you to everyone who came and bought - the overall result for the Village Hall funds will appear here as soon as it's available.
