Poppies for Remembrance Day

On saturday we had our own nod to remembrance day, we made silk poppies all day and gave 10% of all our takings on the day to the British Legion. We were all really pleased with the poppies we made with the gorgeous silk ribbon we brought back from america, and it was good to see lots of new people in the shop - including some really cool kids who came in and put us all to shame with their talents! I can't tell you how much was raised in the end because it all went into the sealed British Legion collection pot. If they let me know at any point, I'll pass on the info!
