Lunch Lady Jan....

...has been busy again.

She sent me another parcel of goodies for the R.N.L.I. fundraising.

Some pretty parcels of patchwork coasters....
 ...in a lovely combination of festive fabrics. Hand stitched felt decorations...
 ...this is just one of each to give you an idea of the pretty pieces. Then there's the bunting...
 ...some in bright cheerful colours and the others to match the coasters...
...it looks fabulous.

Such wonderful makes from the lovely Jan - Thank you so much.

The fundraising is continuing and we are not far from the £800 mark (which considering I was only aiming at £150, is amazing).

With the exception of buying some scones, jam & cream back in the Summer so we could offer "Afternoon Tea", everything else has been donated. Folk are still bringing in books for the sale (and going home with a few new ones LOL) and Shaz Brooks' lovely cards have been selling well. Jan's last batch of goodies barely made it to the sale table before they were snatched up so I have no doubt these will go the same way.

I am so pleased with what has been achieved and can only thank folk for their support and generosity.

Wells-Next-the-Sea have enough money for their new lifeboat and some of the extra money will go to building a new boathouse to keep it in.

Folks here in the UK will be familiar with the fabulous work that the RNLI do keeping our coastal waters a safe place to be. This hot Summer has seen our beaches and waterways used a lot more than usual and when folk have gotten themselves into difficulties the RNLI have come to the rescue.

As someone who lives near to the water, I think they do an amazing job considering they are all volunteers and will continue to support them where I can.................................................

Wow, what a bumper bundle from Lunch Lady Jan, she is a very kind and generous lady. I have some of her 'bowl warmers' and they are fantastic. You are making great progress with the fund raising Toni! Anne xx
