Saturday, November 1, Quilt Sale 1pm – 4pm, Tea by ticket only 2pm – 3pm
This event is timed to help those in the community begin their season of joy and gift giving. All proceeds from The Quilt & Gift Sale and Tea will go directly to benefit Carol’s Closet Paper Pantry.
From 2pm – 3pm there will be a Tea for ticket holders. The Tea will include freshly steeped Hibiscus Herbal Tea and English Breakfast Tea. Following the English tradition, “fresh from the oven” orange scones with apple butter will be served. Assorted tea sandwiches including cucumber, egg salad, ham & cheese, and chicken salad will be provided. Tasty sweets will put the finishing touches on the festive tea including lime bars, fall leaf cookies, brownies, molasses cookies and London bars. Gluten Free sandwich and treat options will be available. St. James’ has a history of holding teas to encourage fellowship while having some fun. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the St. James’ website www.stjamesgl.org. The number of tickets available are limited, so anyone interested is encouraged to purchase their tickets well in advance.
Beginning at 1pm an impressive variety of handmade quilts and unique gifts will be on display for sale. Jewelry, knitted items, floral arrangements, baked goods and other handcrafted pieces will also be featured. Admission to the sale and parking is free. Carol’s Closet Paper Pantry helps our Glastonbury neighbors in need by providing items that are not covered by SNAP benefits including toilet paper, paper towels, tissue, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and pet food.
