Member Since: May 2009 Posts: 5,061 Send Message	Church summer fetes are to be avoided! I've had my share of them! The last fete I went to I bought some brass goblets. I haven't used them! I'll think I'll put them in the bin! The best thing about Fetes are the book stalls but I don't buy books anymore!

Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 2,492 Send Message	I used to love Church fetes & bazaars when I was a child. Age and experience have taught me, however, that one can have too many crocheted egg cosies, and bath cubes:)
