Stall at City of Rochester Society’s Craft Fair, the Castle Moat, Dickens Festival

Once again the Friends were offered a stall at the City of Rochester Society’s Craft Fair.  Our usual list of goods included the Lilliput model houses, painted plates from one of the David Shepherd collections, and birds, as well as the most popular items – jewellery.

Many thanks to those of you who gave me donations.  I now have enough long necklaces, but if you have anything like rings or brooches, I will need them for the winter Dickens Festival stall.  Donations may be left at the house when it is open.

Over the two days, when the weather was very warm, we made a total of £200.50.  All the Lilliput houses have now gone, but there are still the plates. They will come in handy for the winter stall.

My thanks also to Pauline, Jennifer and Peter for their help and assistance.  I made it to the parade each day, now moved to one a day at 2 p.m.
