when the fete rolls in.

Every two years the local primary school holds a big fete to raise money for the school by hawking various jams, bric-a-brac, plants, toys and so on. It's always a great day (provided you don't accidentally buy back something you donated..it CAN happen!) and this year I found some pretty quirky things among the mountains of stuff, which left me pretty chuffed with the bi-annual splendour that is School Fete day.






Chalkboard- 50c.
Little plant- $2
Books + Comics- $3 for all
Dress- $3
Belt- $1
Brooch for a friend- $3




The Tolstoy children's book was worth it not only for the great illustrations (above) but the curious names of the stories; "Masha and the Mushrooms", "Why Wolves are Mean and Squirrels are Frisky" and, my personal favourite, "Better to be Lean and Free than Plump and Chained" (??).
