Many of you will know my great friend Celia Thomas of KT Miniatures either from her website which features a range of wonderful vintage and antique items from dolls houses, to tiny accessories as well as her unique handmade creations with that special pre-loved look - others will know her from the many fairs she attended or the Thame Fair she originated and ran for a number of years with her late husband Dave. Although she is no longer involved with that and rarely attends fairs these days - she is organising a new - once only - and very special fair for a very special reason.
Celia's daughter suffered a cardiac arrest very suddenly and randomly, one fateful November evening back in 2017. However, thanks to the skill and help of a lot of people, she survived against all the odds and pulled through. It was when she came out of hospital she felt isolated, there seemed to be no support network for youngsters with cardiac problems. But then someone mentioned CRY to them. Through CRY her daughter met other young people who had been through similar experiences, some of whom also had a S-I.C.D. fitted. This helped her greatly and gradually she was able to get back into the routine of life and back to full time work. Since then they have learned what an amazing charity CRY is, and how they can help young people along with their families.
50% of all profit, as well at the proceeds from a fantastic raffle will go to support the important work of the charity.
All of us who love miniatures know how well unique artisan pieces blend with genuine antique or vintage items in our doll houses or miniature settings and this fair unusually brings together 21 acclaimed artisans and important traders in vintage and antique treasures.
The Barns Centre, here in the pretty market town of Thame, Oxfordshire is itself a unique setting, which I know you'll love. In keeping with the lovely building, the all important refreshments will be served in a vintage-style setting with delicious homemade cakes and sandwiches - if the weather is fine, sit outside in the garden.
For further details including all the fantastic standholders, just pop over to the KT Miniatures website. Make a date if you can to come along and see us on October 12th.
Thank you for looking
Robin
