Getting ready for the village fete

It's been a lovely day here, sunny and warm. The forecast for tomorrow is not so good though, heavy showers are predicted, but looking at the weather map it might be that the east coast will get off lightly. I'm hoping that's what will happen, trying to be optimistic. 
The church is ready for the visitors, I spent the afternoon setting my display up. It's about art and craft using recycled materials. The ladies from the Chat and Craft brought their items to show and set their tables out.  
I was able to hang four of the art pieces on the board, with the fifth one leaning against it on the table.  I thought the rug was worthy of a showing. I tried to include a variety of different materials and techniques. Hopefully to give people ideas and inspiration to have a go themselves. None of the items are for sale, they are for demonstration purposes only. 








I put my five cushions on the window ledge above the Chat and Craft tables, to fill a gap, and to show that I am a member of this group.




I will only have time to pop in the church tomorrow as I will be busy on our cat fundraising stall outside on the village green. I will be able to spend more time in there on Sunday, the church is open for two days. Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather, we have been lucky for the last two years, let's hope the rain does not come down and spoil our weekend.
Toodle pip.

  2. That all looks rather marvellous-wish I was there! Is the bag with the trees and little bags sewn on(lidl, Costco etc I spotted)-the cream one above the denim one-one that u have seen Ilona? I really like it! I've can spot the rest of your things as I've seen them on the blog but I've not seen that bag before. Maybe I missed it! Fingers crossed for the weather, your stall looks so good, I think as many people as possible should see it.
    Ps the Ilona bag and I are off to London this weekend, I'll take a photo of us in harrods alongside the Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs collection! (I'll only be looking, the Ilona is far superior to that tat).

    The stall looks gorgous. I wonder if it will attract any new members. There's a good cross-section of craft there, and having 'chat' in the name makes it sound so friendly.
    Hope your cat stall gets lots of money. Wish I was there to support it. Hope the weather is good too.
