Christmas Comes to the Village II

Saturday I helped out at St. Mary's Christmas Tea and Bazaar. The Church Hall was packed at usual with what seemed like the entire village coming out to enjoy plates of fancy sandwiches, dainties, and of course numerous cups of tea served in the ACW's collection of china cups and saucers.

The Ladies (and Gentleman) of the Bake Table. Everything was sold out within the first 20 minutes!

The women who organize these event are truly amazing, and village life wouldn't be the same without them. If they weren't running the church diners and teas, the Sunday School, Girl Guides, and just about everything else that happens around here, the social life of this little village would come to a grinding halt.

I was serving, but managed to fight my way to the knitting table to buy my annual supply of hand made mittens. The Tea had everything a country Christmas bazaar should, a bake table, knitting, preserves, quilting. I always envy whoever wins the draw for a handmade quilt.

All in all, a great way to spend an afternoon.
