Winston’s Wish are an amazing charity who help bereaved children re-adjust to life after the death of a parent or sibling, offering practical support and guidance. Winston’s Wish have helped many families within our Woolly Hugs and Mumsnet communities, and we are very pleased to be able to do something to help them now.

Up and down the country, fabulous folk have been making small craft items which we will sell through our Facebook Event page. Come and join us!

Album Three, items 201+ is work in progress! Link very soon.


Our Sale takes place over the weekend starting Friday 6th December, starting at 10 am finishing on Sunday 8th

From 10am on Friday we are going to post batches of items on the wall, starting with the first 30 from Album One and work our way through. To buy an item, you will need to be the first to post your name next to the photo. We will then clearly be able to see who has bought, will thank you and ask you to PM us with the item number and a postal address. We can then arrange for payment with you. Ideally through PayPal, but cash or cheque payable to Woolly Hugs is fine too.

Do bear with us, we will acknowledge your purchase and reply to your PM asap!

Lovely idea, even if I can't quite figure out when items go live. Is it just when they go on the wall?

Report
KnottyAndPistey · 06/12/2013 12:37

It certainly is, when items go on the wall, they are live. The next batch of 20 items will be going on at 4.30

I plan to continue twittering on about my robins until you all capitulate and allow me to buy them just to shut me up. Youngest child syndrome innit

As an aside, autocorrect keeps trying to change 'innit' to 'I knit'. Which is beautifully appropriate
