I hope you can all see - we now have a totaliser on our little blog over on the right hand sidebar ...... We began to sell the wonderful cards you've been donating to us at St Luke's own Summer Fayre this afternoon. Unfortunately there was very little summer to be had in Sheffield today, so it was wet and windy for a lot of the day so we didn't quite get as many visitors as we'd hoped, but despite the weather (us Yorkshire folk are a hardy lot!) we did raise £125 for the hospice which is not bad considering we were only open for 3 hours!
So, thank you to every single one of you who has so far taken the time to make a card (or in some cases a whole box full - you wonderful, generous souls!) and send them to us, they are now, REALLY starting to make a difference :-)
Here are a couple of photos of the stall, and apparently, I HAD to be in them - so frame these photos as I can assure you, my face doesn't get in the frame very often so these prove just how committed to the cause I am!
There will be more sales going on over the summer, so keep an eye on the blog and the totaliser and let's break the target!!!
To all you lovely people who are already involved - I can't stress enough how much your support of my idea means to me so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Well done all, these events can be so dependent on good weather so I think you should be really pleased. Hopefully you'll get a reputation for quality cards and next time will be a sell out! Sandra
ReplyDeleteTara - lovely photos!! I have a biggish box of cards to send you shortly - I keep putting if off and the pile just gets bigger! Shame about the weather - but the first sales total is a real boost! Thanks to all you who have so kindly donated your cards to sell. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteHee hee, you look like a proper market trader showing your wares!
ReplyDeleteWell done on selling so many & I hope you have a great time at the craft show today, xx
I am just about to send mine, but if you let us know when the next sale will be I'll try to come along as we're not too far away.
ReplyDeleteTara despite the weather you manage to do a wonderful job for a very worth while cause.
