Sydenham Women’s Institute kicked off the pre-Christmas shopping season last Saturday by filling Grace Hall with a wide and colourful array of handicrafts, home cooking and decorations. Sellers came from the whole area, from Battersea to Verona; there were hand-turned pens made from rare woods; cigar-box banjos; wooden serving ware with amazing burned patterns; local honey; paintings; a rainbow of knitted socks and mittens; soft pretty quilts, throws and pillows; handmade jewellery; a wide selection of books; Christmas decorations both funny and fancy; draw tickets on two huge gift baskets, coffee and snacks upstairs and lunch downstairs. And there was of course a bake table loaded with pies, breads and other goodies.
The event had been well-advertised, and the turn-out was good.
