URGENT HELP REQUIRED!!!

Hi everyone!  I'm really aware of the fact that I need to do a new post - not just to update you on what I have been up to......but also to tell you about the first giveaway I have won!! So I will, very shortly I promise!

But firstly I need some urgent help! At the Children's Centre I work at, we have a little stall -which we set up for different seasons, for the children to play with.  The children have a little till and we add bits like icecreams, deckchair etc in the summer and at the moment it is a garden centre.  I want to make it Christmassy and so thought I could make it into a German Market type stall.  My mum, bless her, is knitting her little fingers off making xmas puds and xmas cake but we cannot find a pattern anywhere for mince pies.................so if anybody could point us in the right direction (online) I would be most grateful!!!  

Thanks all!

  1. What a super idea!

    Hope the children enjoy it!

    I've just been to the Christmas markets in Manchester....but a long time ago, I went to the "real" German Markets with a good friend.....gluhwein is potent stuff!

    hope someone can help you with the pattern!

    In response to your comment, the hearts and home sign on the fire place were little east of india decorations that we stuck on after we had the fire surround made.

  4. Hello,
    Thank you for visiting Red Rose Alley. Your blog is pretty and charming. While I was scrolling down, I noticed the red heart and candle holder. I love the color red as well. I do hope that you visit with us again, and I hope you have many special moments this holiday season.
