Novelty Doorstops!!!

A comprehensive list of what was likely to sell at our Macmillan Coffee Morning would have been helpful as I was relatively in the dark with this type of event.  The morning has been and gone and I can report that the Novelty Doorstops very quickly sold out!!

Cupcake Doorstop

Owl Doorstop

I used/adapted this tutorial for the owl and it worked really well.  Several people were disappointed to miss out so they paid and I have to make those.  The knitted hand puppets also sold out and the spectacle cases (some being purchased as phone cases) were popular too.  We didn't sell any of the sets of 4 quilted coasters though.

Best of all, today we have banked £904.93 which far exceeded our expectations.  Lots of hard work by a few people but totally worthwhile and it couldn't have been done without the donations, cake contributions and people who came to spend some money!!!!!

Sorry that I still have trouble commenting on blogs.  I have no idea what's causing it or what to do about it????
