Members of Freshwater Bay WI turned out in force for their second Christmas Crafters’ Market, held at Totland Bowling Club. After months of preparation, their hard work was rewarded with a good turnout of shoppers keen to get an early start on their Christmas shopping.
Stalls offered a wide range of unique, hand-made gifts, including stained and fused glass, knitwear, cards, soaps, jewellery, Christmas decorations, sea glass pictures, and felted heirloom figures. The WI bakers were also busy, providing a tempting selection of home-made cakes and savouries, including cream sponge, cupcakes, drizzle cakes, flapjacks, fruit cake, biscuits, sausage rolls, and cheese scones.
Freshwater Bay WI president, Lisa Reed, thanked everyone who attended, along with the crafters, bakers, stall-holders, and kitchen helpers, who had worked tirelessly to make the event a success. Their efforts helped raise more than £500 on the day.
