Pippa’s friend has organised a Green Saturday sale (rather than a Black Friday one).

Idea: table top sale of good quality items including homeware, toys, mistaken purchases PLUS retro, vintage, repurposed, upcycled and homemade creations.

20% of all money taken goes to charity. Pippa has a table and her chosen charity is the River Thames Boat Project. It would be great if you could come along and support this local, environmental event.

Date: Saturday 23rd November
Time: 10am – 12 noon
Venue: United Reform Church Hall, 35 Hampton Hill High Street, TW12 1NB
Tea and homemade cakes available
