Mayfest

Giselle's four favourite occasions in the year are Mayfest, Paniyiri, her birthday and Christmas.

Yet this year, the one year I needed Giselle to actually come to Mayfest, she didn't.

Mayfest is the annual fete for MacGregor State Primary School and the main fundraising event for the MacGregor SPS Parents and Citizens Committee of which I am the Secretary (random occurrence). As a result, I was put in charge of the White Elephant (Trash and Treasure Stall). I was told that this is the most fun stall, which leaves me questioning why no one else wanted to run it, and was warned that there were plenty of 'interesting' characters that came to the stall (particularly in the morning when morning madness hit and everyone wanted to be first in to get the best stuff).

I must admit, it was pretty fun. We managed to sell nearly two full rooms of junk, I mean, treasure, and I was able to report a small fortune to the P&C committee.

The pic is of my favourite item from the stall which I self sacrificially left on the table for a very lucky lady to purchase for 50 cents (down from $3).

I also now have an even greater appreciation for not hoarding and not being in a relationship with a hoarder. Good for me.
