Our Arts & Crafts Day on Saturday was full of sunshine (with just a touch of thunder and rain for excitement) and plenty of smiles and laughter, eating and drinking, music and dancing, selling and buying - everything in fact to make it a memorable and successful event. We're looking forward to hearing the final total of takings for the day, and hope it gave our coffers a big shot in the arm!

The tea garden and essential boerewors braai around which much conversation and debate seemed to be taking place.

 Someone is happy to see Christmas on the way...
 

So much to see, which way to go..?

 Kgethi and her girls with delicious biscuits

 The tea garden had a steady stream of visitors

 Shopping, shopping, shopping

 with a few quiet moments... come on the crowds!

Jacqui and Lorna's Diva's Boutique and book stall did a roaring trade

 Caught in the act! Carol soothing her dry throat after doing a very professional announcing job on the microphone

 The kids had a chance to fish for prizes, donated by Trudie's nice boss at Lumoss Mouldings

 Jacaranda flowers decorated the creative craft tables

 Cecelia and her family's beautiful jewelry stall 

 There's that DJ again!

 And the conversations continued....
 
I hope to have more photos to post over the next day or two!
