Breast Cancer Campaign Fund Raising- Some Beautiful Donations - Thame Fair!

BREAST CANCER CAMPAIGN SALES TABLE

I  had the most pleasurable task yesterday of sorting through and pricing up all the dozens and dozens of donated miniature items from both artisans and members of the public for the Breast Cancer Campaign Sales Table that will be at Thame Dolls House & Miniatures Fair this coming Saturday.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED - YOUR GENEROSITY IS OVERWHELMING & EVERY SINGLE ITEM IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

There are all kinds of miniature related goodies, new and old, manufactured and handmade at bargain prices.  Plus many special items galore such as...........

*A beautiful framed photograph of some vintage dolls house pieces donated by Caroline Taylor, a professional photographer - who has sadly lost a friend recently to breast cancer. This photograph was exhibited by Caroline in her final year at art college.

*Linda Hutchinson, teacher of Hardenhuish School, Chippenham, has donated her little toy stall that she made as an example to show her pupils for a class project.

*Handmade cushions by Barbara created using antique c1930s Kensitas Cigar Silks
*Handmade replica vintage dolls house food by Joan Joyce (see archive January blog)
*Two paintings by miniature artist Dave Williams
I understand donations for this table will be arriving throughout the day from various people...so well worth continually checking out throughout your visit.
Thame Fair opens @ 10.00am and closes @ 4.00pm

Plus there are many, many more that will be donated on the day by some of the stand holders.....so a truly fabulous raffle.



The raffle draw will take place @ 3.30pm and as always the wonderful Thame Town Crier will conduct the proceedings in his totally unique way! Anthony Church is the Thame Town Crier and is now part of the fixtures and fittings of Thame Fair.



 He spends the good part of the day up in Thame town centre, enticing people to come to the very special Thame event, whilst at the same time jiggling his BCC collecting tin at people, then finishing up at the Thame Leisure Centre.
Sorry we do not have a licence to sell raffle tickets outside the event so can only be purchased on the day. Tickets will be priced at £1.00 per ticket.

Hope to see you there on Saturday!
