T’was a month before Christmas,
The gals, Jane and Gertie,
Opened the doors of the hall
At ten thirty.
And in came the shoppers
Carrying baskets
Looking for gifts
Unique and fantastic!
The stalls they were brimming
With much vintage lushness
The shoppers were bustling
With a sort of ‘rushes’!
The music was festive,
Of the right flavour!
The goods on display
Were a feast, just to savour
There were stalls with pizzazz
And stalls with the glitz
Stalls with scarves
Fine linens and cloths
Pretty embroidery
Bows, rings and bangles
Lovely jewellery!
Baubles and crackers
Vintage of course
Children’s toys and
An old rocking horse.
Puzzles and books
Dolls and stuffed toys
Something for girls
Christmas cards, calendars
Fabrics and quilts
Pieces of tartan
For making cute kilts!
Sewing boxes galore
Ribbons and beads
Everything for
The crafter’s needs
T’was the month before Christmas
This place full of fun
The fair…it’s name was
The Homespun!
You'll find goodies galore
The high street it beats
And of course there are plenty
Of vintage treats!
So a big thanks must go
To Jane and to Gertie
For opening the doors
Prompt at ten thirty
AND a big ‘well done’ to
Gertie and Jane
We look forward to visiting
Portscatho, again.
