SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE

Day 86 - 52° - Sunny, WINDY, cold - Spring Meadows Park
Day 85 - 58° - Partly Cloudy, Cooler - Spring Meadows Park

Yesterday, the Red Cardinal B&B hosted an open house/Timbali Crafts Fundraiser. The beautiful tote bags, aprons, placemats & table runners are hand-made by women from Swaziland, Africa. The patterns in the fabric they use are so colorful and each bag has a tag with the woman's name who made it. 100% of the proceeds go to the women. They use the money to buy cinder blocks to build a 10' x 10' structure to live in.

It was a perfect day to have friends drop by, as it was overcast and cool. In between “shopping”, the guests were offered some home baked cookies - oatmeal -raisin, chocolate-chocolate, molasses and a cinnamon coffee cake.

I will have the items here at the Red Cardinal B&B for another week, so give me a call and stop by. Any one of these items would make a perfect gift for someone. I bought a set of the placemats for a wedding gift.





Great and blessed Sunday!
