</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Thank you for volunteering your culinary skills to the bake table. As many of you know the bake sale is a very popular table at the Christmas bazaar! It is a table that provides snacks to the kids; and it is also a great source for hostess gifts or your family’s Christmas treats. Below are instructions for those who haven’t participated before and even for those who have, some things have changed this year:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Popular Items</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Wrapped candy pops (snip off sharp points), cupcakes and cookies are very popular with the kids. Loaves, muffins, plates of Christmas cookies, pies and cakes are big sellers with adults attending the sale and bring in a lot of revenue.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">*note: there is a separate cupcake station for children to decorate their own cupcakes; this is not part of the bake sale and is free for the kids</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Packaging</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Individual items should be packaged, especially this year as they may end up on the bus to St Vincent de Pius – sticky! Cupcakes can be wrapped individually and cookies in twos or threes. Many items were not packaged last year, and while this is very tempting for the kids, it is not as sanitary as we would like. We will have some extra baggies, but not enough for all items.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Fancy packaging for larger items such as loaves, plates of cookies, pies and cakes really helps sell the items at a premium – Martha Stewart it up for the school!</span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><u>Allergies</u></span><br />
We cannot accept anything with nuts . We have turned away loaves etc with nuts in the past, so please adhere to this request.Given a number of other allergies that children have, we request one label of the ingredients in your baking to post.<br />
<br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Drop Off</span><br />
The baking drop off is earlier this year as one of the buses for St Vincent is coming first thing to the sale. Items should be dropped off by 8:45. </div><div><ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 2.5em; padding-right: 2.5em; padding-top: 0px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">You can drop them off the night before to the gym if they are in sealed hard plastic containers (not plastic bags!). </li>

Hmmm, this is a little awkward ...but as they say if you can't blow your own horn nobody else will.<br />
<br />
Debra Norton (that's me), a paper goods designer, loves vintage paper ephemera, letterpress, and scouring antique markets. Designing paper goods as a business was a natural next step for me after years of doing it for friends and family. Vintage Paper Parade was born out of a desire to create vintage inspired stationery with a fresh modern twist.<br />
<br />
I'll be at the Bazaar on Friday with cards, gift tags and various paper curiosities for you to enjoy. You can also visit my <i><a href="http://www.vintagepaperparade.etsy.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">shop</span></a></i> and <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://www.vintagepaperparade.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">blog</span></a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">or via email at vintagepaperparade@yahoo.ca ...shameless self-promotion ;)</span></span></span></span></i><br />

Lesley McDowell and her family spend every summer up at their northern Ontario cottage. They are lucky to have loads of fresh wild berries on their property. With the help of her "volunteer pickers", these berries and other local farm fresh produce magically turn into delicious homemade jams, jellies and relish.<br />
<br />
Lesley will be back at the Bazaar again this year with her yummy homemade creations.<br />
Jars of "Cranberry, Pear, Lemon Jam", "Strawberry Rhubarb Jam"," Zucchini Pepper Relish" and more will grace her table, but not for long. These sell fast. And I have first dibs :)St. Pius X Bazaarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12950168435151520981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422166420853783110.post-74326101022009825392010-11-22T22:40:00.001-05:002010-11-22T22:41:44.735-05:00Vendor Spotlight #6<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">100 Mile Finds</span></span></span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Greetings Bakers!</span></span></i><br />
<br />
Thank you for volunteering your culinary skills to the bake table. As many of you know the bake sale is a very popular table at the Christmas bazaar! It is a table that provides snacks to the kids; and it is also a great source for hostess gifts or your family’s Christmas treats. Below are instructions for those who haven’t participated before and even for those who have, some things have changed this year:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Popular Items</span><br />
Wrapped candy pops (snip off sharp points), cupcakes and cookies are very popular with the kids. Loaves, muffins, plates of Christmas cookies, pies and cakes are big sellers with adults attending the sale and bring in a lot of revenue.<br />
<br />
*note: there is a separate cupcake station for children to decorate their own cupcakes; this is not part of the bake sale and is free for the kids<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Packaging</span><br />
Individual items should be packaged, especially this year as they may end up on the bus to St Vincent de Pius – sticky! Cupcakes can be wrapped individually and cookies in twos or threes. Many items were not packaged last year, and while this is very tempting for the kids, it is not as sanitary as we would like. We will have some extra baggies, but not enough for all items.<br />
<br />
Fancy packaging for larger items such as loaves, plates of cookies, pies and cakes really helps sell the items at a premium – Martha Stewart it up for the school!<div><br />
</div><div>Sources: </div><div>*<a href="http://www.mccalls.ca/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">McCalls</span> </a>or their local storefront at Bloor & Kipling is a great source for packaging. </div><div>*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">The Bulk Barn</span> stores also sell food grade bags and other packaging. </div><div>*If you are really keen try <a href="http://www.creativebag.com/boxes-and-containers"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Creative Bag</span></a> online or their storefront location.</div><div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><i><u>We will look after pricing all items.</u></i></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><u>Allergies</u></span><br />
We cannot accept anything with nuts . We have turned away loaves etc with nuts in the past, so please adhere to this request.Given a number of other allergies that children have, we request one label of the ingredients in your baking to post.<br />
<br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Drop Off</span><br />
The baking drop off is earlier this year as one of the buses for St Vincent is coming first thing to the sale. Items should be dropped off by 8:45. </div><div><ul><li>You can drop them off the night before to the gym if they are in sealed hard plastic containers (not plastic bags!). </li>
<li>Label your containers for pick up at the end of the bake sale. Maura and Colleen are the contacts in the morning, Mary is the contact at the end of the day.</li>
</ul></div><div><br />
Thank you again for your commitment to making the 2010 Christmas Bazaar a fantastic event for our kids! </div></div>St. Pius X Bazaarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12950168435151520981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422166420853783110.post-82115377217039610962010-11-13T23:08:00.004-05:002010-11-15T19:21:14.962-05:00Vendor Spotlight #2<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">2 Smart Cookies</span></span></span><br />

A little bit about the Christmas Bazaar...<br />
<br />
The Christmas Bazaar is a much loved event by all. The event is open to the public who come to shop at the bake sale and vendor tables. The school also receives generous donations of product that are packaged into gift baskets and are sold at the bazaar.<br />
Throughout the day, children and staff from the school attend the bazaar, participating in games and shopping. The event is also well attended by the parent and school community.<br />
<br />
We are currently accepting applications for vendor tables. The cost for a 6ft table/space is $50.<br />
This event is juried by the organizing committee.<br />
<br />
Vendors of local, handmade products are invited to apply. Product at price points suitable for both adults and children shopping at the bazaar is also an important factor the jury will take into consideration for the selection process.<br />
