April 20th the P.R.R.P. Abercorn held a very successful Open House at their Craft Shop. Once again friends and strangers alike came to see and buy one of a kind items. A beautiful quilt, an original design by Jocelyne was displayed. It had been quilted by the "girls" and will be a wedding gift for a lucky couple in France. Gramma's Corner had two old antique quilt tops on display plus a 1940 wedding gown and veil, a black straw hat grannie Clappet style, and a Quaker style undergarment. Many old lace doilies etc. found new homes.

     One room was filled with household items such as table cloths, mats ironing board covers, pot holders, etc. Also baby items, coverlets, bibs and sun dresses.

The font room held the larger items like quilts, afghans, rugs, dried flower wreaths and bouquets, or special jean aprons B.B.Q. aprons and assortments of handbags.

The Friperie Room was full of bargains in nearly new clothes, jewelry and misc. items.

The front porch known as the Trash and Treasure room was a place of interest for the young and old alike. The new shelves made a great improvement for displaying our dishes.

The kitchen also was a popular place, coffee and snacks compliments of the girls plus the toe tapping music by our local musicians.

Workers and family plus friends enjoyed a pot luck dinner in the workshop upstairs. Many thanks to the gentlemen for doing the dishes.

The day ended with the raffle draw, the big winner being Real Beaulac receiving the hand knit bulky wool sweater. Many thanks to all our supporters.
